I abused feedback loops until I could run around wearing just enchanted boots and a necklace and literally never die and had a dozen weapons which could one-shot the end boss. The only thing Bethesda games are good for is breaking them.

https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/i-honestly-can-t-recall-says-alp-fixer-35-times-20180429-p4zcbv.html Bechara Khouri, currently starring in a corruption inquiry into allegations of corrupt planning decisions at the former Canterbury Council, appears to have an unfortunate connection with the corruption watchdog. His brother was jailed for lying to the Independent Commission Against Corruption and his former business partner Eddie Obeid is in jail following a corruption inquiry into his family’s cafe leases. Once described in State Parliament as Obeid’s "fixer", the 61-year-old "facilitator" (as he prefers to be known) is well known in Labor circles. ... The inquiry has heard that Mr Khouri was receiving $15,000 a month from developer Charlie Demian and $8000 a month from property developer Dyldam. According to corporate records, he is also in business with the wife of another property developer for whom he was lobbying. On 35 occasions while in the witness box Mr Khouri used the word "honestly" when he couldn’t help the commission. "I honestly can’t remember", "I can't remember, honestly", "I honestly can’t, I’d lie to you if I tell you I remember anything" and "I would love to assist but I honestly and sincerely can’t recall," he said. This is the third inquiry in which Mr Khouri has been mentioned. In 2005, the ICAC found that then-Strathfield mayor John Abi-Saab and others had staged an elaborate sting during which they filmed Mr Abi-Saab’s successor as mayor, Alfred Tsang, accepting a bribe. A group of local Lebanese property developers who were friends and associates of then powerbroker Obeid and his lifelong friend Mr Abi-Saab stood to lose millions of dollars as the new mayor planned to overturn previous favourable development decisions. The inquiry heard that the late Mr Abi-Saab tried to blackmail Mr Tsang with the tape of the bribe but Mr Tsang not only refused to resign but he gave the money back and dobbed himself in to the ICAC. During the attempt to oust the mayor, the corruption watchdog was intercepting Mr Abi-Saab’s calls. "Did you fix the testicle?" they heard Mr Khouri ask. "So did they pull out the varicose vein or not yet?" "Not yet," Mr Abi-Saab replied. "So the doctor told you you have to wait a little," Mr Khouri said, before adding: "Yeah, that's good. So long as it doesn't affect the penis." Mr Abi-Saab said Mr Khouri was "always joking like that" and denied that "fixing the testicle" referred to removing the mayor. Mr Abi-Saab said of his friend: "We meet regularly, we discuss different things. Politics and council and Labor branches and stacking and things like that … " In an interview with the Herald in 2015, Mr Khouri insisted that his conversation with Mr Abi-Saab about testicles and penises was a reference to Mr Khouri’s bicycle accident. "The steering wheel went through my bottom side," he said at the time. A jury later acquitted Mr Abi-Saab of blackmail but he received a suspended jail term after pleading guilty to conspiring to give false evidence to the ICAC. Mr Khouri was also mentioned at the 2003 inquiry into whether Obeid had solicited a $1 million bribe on behalf of the ALP to smooth the path for the Oasis project, a joint development by the Canterbury League Club and Liverpool Council. An allegation was aired that Mr Khouri had threatened an earthmover with getting no work on the Oasis project if he did not pay $50,000. In his final report Commissioner John Slattery found no corruption on the part of Obeid or anyone else. He also noted that the earthmover had changed his position on the bribe allegation several times and, in the end, had told the commission that "he had paid Mr Bechara Khoury (sic) $30,000 but this was in relation to other consultancy work" not related to the Oasis project. In March 2010, Mr Khouri’s brother Elias was jailed for 2½ years for lying to the ICAC. Elias Khoury, the parish priest at St Nicholas Antiochian Orthodox Church in Punchbowl, pleaded guilty to falsifying community service orders for two offenders and then lying about it to investigators from the ICAC. Father Khoury’s sentence was later reduced after an appeal court accepted that he was of ''limited intellectual ability'' and that his skills as a parish priest "had always been well below the level expected". Mr Khouri will return to give further evidence at the second tranche of the commission’s inquiry in June. New South Wales

You'd think that after the many, many, MANY well publicized "early access" abandonware/shovelware hybrid disasters since inception people would be a little more discerning by now. But no. It's the stupid tax.

If video game companies want to pretend they're selling the product 'as is' then they need to drop the early access tag. That tag specifically means the opposite of 'this is what you are buying' and it's been a while since I've checked up on Australian consumer law, but I don't think 'lol jk' works as a defense against product descriptions like that.

There are so many non broken older games out there. Sometimes they've even been repaired by fans after the developer abandoned them (Colonial Marines lol). The currently existing backlog of good games you haven't played could well last out your entire lifetime, and you can usually get them for the 5-10$ range. In short gamers are financially illiterate, highly impulsive children and they don't deserve to have money.
