Man arrested for walking down street with sword has been sentenced.

Is it meant to be oniony because it is a video game sword?

Racism isn't inherently a political issue and isn't the whole story of slavery, but is a major factor when talking about enslaving a race. However, its close relationship to other major factors like colonialism, nationalism, supremacism and xenophobia, as well as financial structures allowing such enslavement and ownership, are all found well to the right of the spectrum.

No. "Republican" does not equal "Right wing". Maybe in the modern context, but political parties evolve and shift on the left right scale over time. The Republican party was originally established as a less Conservative opposition to the Democrats.

Besides, the policial party pushing for the thing is surely much less important than the thing itself. The act of enslaving a portion of the population, based entirely on racial divisions, is an extremely right wing position.

Interesting choices. I think the only valid one there would be the second attempt on Gerald Ford (Sara Jane Moore), who wanted to spark a revolution.

The first attempt on him was by one of the Mason Family (Lynette Fromme), who were sometimes described as hippies, but were also keen on bringing about a race war.

John Wilkes Booth seems surprising to call left leaning, as he was pro-confederacy and angry about the abolition of slavery.

Lee Harvey Oswald was a Soviet defector, and did indeed call himself a socialist. However there's the whole probable scenario that he wasn't actually the shooter and never went on trial.

To mention other presidential assassinations, there's Charles J. Guiteau, assassin of President James A. Garfield, who was a loyal republican, but felt he was personally wronged by the President (as well as mental illness).

Leon Czolgosz, assassin of President William McKinley would probably support your hypothesis more than the others, as an anarchist.

All in all, not really overwhelmingly left leaning.

Not very oniony.

But who is going to implement the AI policy? I thought they sacked everyone.

A remaster is in no way the same as the original. I understand you're putting forward the business reason for it being delisted, and that is probably the true reason, but that doesn't make it less scummy.

This article makes me wonder if it was becoming insanely expensive to produce. It always seemed like an expensive choice to sign Rod Humble to make his own studio from scratch in California. They are probably very glad to get that off the expenses.

It doesn't seem likely at the moment. It's a whole mess and it doesn't look like the outcome is going to benefit the original creators, the usurpers, or us fans.

I'm very surprised by the discourse in this thread. I understand that people were given lots of warning, but that doesn't excuse that they just had their purchase recinded. Why not just allow download of an old version of Minecraft Java still?

I'd consider myself a Microsoft fanboy as I've had Xbox live for nearly 2 decades and Game Pass since it came into existence. Removing people's purchases for any reason is a scummy move.

What a weird article. When I think of hybrid I immediately think that means hybrid working model (some days in office some from home).

Having studios in two different countries working together doesn't feel like a remarkable feat in this day and age and worldwide collaboration is pretty much the norm in any sizable developer.

Whatever game they end up putting out, it's going to be Disco Elysium in name only and I hope it doesn't fool anyone into buying it.
