CDPR themselves, looks a little better than publicly caving to a ransom demand. Competitors maybe? Chinese game companies wanting to make an easy knock off.

Thanks, @GDBringer 
I was raised “grassroots”. But I rebelled. I had a lot more to say but I think I will just carry on my Sunday activities and VD stuff instead.

Did someone say “Party”?
Can’t. Still. In the Grey.
And people are POed.
Why do people think it’s OK to threaten someone with death threats? What is happening to the human race?

I’ve just spent like an hour wondering what “VD stuff” could mean. Most of that time allocated to blocking out the nastiest of images, last ten to being pretty confident it’s gotta be Visual Design.
Only just now realized it’s probably Valentine’s Day though.
Ever noticed how Venereal Disease and Valentine’s Day have the same acronym?
I didn’t. Coz I’ve never heard anyone saying VD while referring to Valentine’s Day before:D

I pretty much only think of the former when I see VD… lol!

I’m sorry, then why did you imply that my research was incomplete and that my sources all had the exact same bias? Seriously, if what you posted is true, you should feel comfortable answering all the questions in my previous post in this thread, sharing exactly where you got your information and how you arrived at your conclusions. I showed my research; you show yours.

I am content with myself knowing the facts. I rarely post on this forum and typically stay away from joining in conversations. I only joined this thread to vent, in all honesty. I am not trying to convince anyone of anything. What I do, and what I intended, by replying to your post was to show you - rather incompletely and inadequately - how I do my research.
I read multiple narratives on topics that I find interesting and want to know more about. After reading several different narratives on a topic, then I research How they got to this narrative, finding actual quotes from people, finding reliable sources with reliable information, and straight facts, no conjecture or opinions. I do not let a narrative(s) to lead me to believe something is fact until it is researched and proven.
Take the state of PA for example, the easiest to find the facts, and one of the most publicized states where their laws were changed by non-state legislatures. Watch the senate hearings for the last 2-3months for this state, find specific quotes from these state legislatures on their social media platforms, etc. and you will see that they themselves, the ones who should be the only one who make changes to their state laws, have said just that: people outside the state legislatures Have Made Changes To Their Laws.
I used this as an example as this is the easiest to determine what is fact and what is not. Facebook will require a few additional hours of research and the research will show the illegal actions. But it is research everyone, in my opinion, should take apart in instead of only reading one narrative from multiple news sources and then call it fact/truth.
When me and my loved ones speak on these topics, we do just that, do our independent research on these topics. We do not take each others word for it. We do not demand that the others do the work for us therefore causing us to bicker about this or that source and to say the other is “complaining” -shrugs-
Enjoy your day. It may be cold and rainy here for the next few days but it is still a beautiful day

Except that’s literally exactly what you’re doing in this thread. You’re merely saying that these things exist, and when I tell you I couldn’t find evidence of your claims, you turn around and say I need to do more work to prove your allegations. You say that you “used this as an example,” but you didn’t GIVE an example; all you did besides reword your accusation was name a state. You didn’t say which of PA’s laws was changed (that would be giving an actual example), who changed it, how they changed it without authority, why nobody with authority did anything about it, or even who else besides yourself is making the allegation. If it’s as easy to find as you claim, why don’t you post a link to the exact tweets you’re referring to? Why don’t you post a link to the exact hearings, giving timestamps for the most relevant quotes?
I’m not demanding you do the work for me; I’m demanding you show me the work you allegedly already did (which shouldn’t take nearly as long).
P.S.

Okay, let me go spend more time finding the facts for you by listening to the senate hearings again, give you the exact times (mark 2:15, 8:30, 1:21:45, 2:30:50 etc), along with the many news articles with all the different narratives, the tweets, etc. so I can appease someone who does not want to do the research themselves?
I’ll be sure to do a dissertation on each topic I look into in the future so I can provide all the answers.
I’ll exit this conversation as it is apparent you do not wish to invest in a new (old) way of “finding” the answers, but you prefer to adhere to a way of having another person “giving” you the answers in an all tidied up article with one narrative.
Again, I am content with knowing the facts. These are not allegations. If you choose to do the research, or not (point proven), then that is fine and your choice.

you’re spending more time complaining about being asked to provide sources than it would have been to provide links to what you looked at.
@Imaynotbehere4long provided links to what he found. I believe it is entirely reasonable to ask that you provide, at a minimum, links to what you had looked at.

I’ve spent an allotted of 30minutes (being generous) VS watching several state senate hearings (would be my 3rd time: these are not 30min sessions…), marking the timestamps, finding articles, and quoting social media content with links, etc. “you’re spending more time complaining about being asked to provide sources than it would have been to provide links to what you looked at.” I am not complaining nor did I spend anywhere near the time it would take to do what you suggest.
The last reply to this one was only 5min. Prior, I thought he needed a structure explained in detail to understand how to go about it. I was wrong. Why would I spend my time doing what every person should already do? He is not interested in the facts nor spending the time finding those (fact). He does not choose to independently research(fact). He does not want to invest in time to find the facts(fact). “Some opinions will not be changed.” (fact) I am fine with that hence I am exiting the conversation with him(fact). That’s completely fine(fact). Perhaps it is not as interesting to him as he thinks to warrant him spending his time? Perhaps he does not really want to know the facts? Perhaps he is satisfied with what limited narrative he’s read by MSM?
I can 'ass’ume many different things. But I have not assumed he is complaining.
To suggest I am complaining, sigh. I apologize if I come off as complaining but I can assure you that I am not complaining. Pointing out flaws in ways a person(s) take what they’re fed and run with it as facts? Sure. Trying to help a person see a different perspective? Sure. Explaining how one can research to find the facts? Sure. But I am complaining? Come on, really? Seriously…

you could have provided a link to said hearings. If it’s just one and it covers multiple subjects, state the approximate location of where they talk about it. I’m not looking for exact timestamps.
Right now you are saying “do your research”. If he already believes he has done his research, how does that change his answer?
As someone who hasn’t engaged with this part of the argument until now, how am I supposed to decide which I feel is right?
I will tell you exactly where I stand on this.
@Imaynotbehere4long has provided sources to his argument. I can review his articles and decide what I think about them.
You’ve provided just an argument and are telling me to go research it myself. As far as I know, you’re pulling stuff out of your butt and claiming it’s fact. I can’t determine anything about your sources.
I’m a third party to the discussion and I don’t really care to waste my time attempting to find your sources. If you don’t want to spend the time to provide a simple link when asked -no timestamps involved- I don’t think I should spend the time to take your argument seriously.
