Quote"dedicated to everyone that Thatcher hated and everyone that hated Thatcher"

*sigh* I'd just managed to calm down and come back here having forgotten what I was angry about when you publish another bit pushing this invective. I mean, if the term “hate speech” means anything, it must surely apply to the statement above. (And while I don't believe that Margaret Thatcher truly “hated” anyone, two wrongs don't make a right.) I like a bit of retro FPS action as much as the next guy, but there's never any reason to promote such mean-spirited spitefulness and hatred.

I'd say the same no matter who it was directed at, by the way. No wonder modern politics is so bitter and hateful, if we're prepared to let things like this slide just because we quietly agree with the sentiment. I said nothing under your first article, because although I find the game offensive I believe in freedom of speech and it seemed like a robust bit of satirical fun for people whose prejudices it reflects.

And even now, this comment has sat in my browser unposted for about three hours. But bringing it up again, especially with that quote, makes me think again, and wonder about what kind of site you're trying to run here. Come on... I thought you were better than this.

You know, I bet a lot of people could say: "we thought you were better than that".
I don't like guys that hide behind that kind of argument, the "hate" some of us can bring over Thatcher (or someone else like her) is not equal at all that the "hate" Thatcher provided on some people.
You would defend Pinochet too, wouldn't you?
Seriously it seems some people can't understand properly what these people have done.
I, again, recommend some to read "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism" by Naomi Klein. After you done that, I dare you to tell me you don't have any hate towards these people.
You think "hate" is bad no matter what, don't you?
If yes, you're part of the problem, sorry. You shouldn't play that "game".
I can't tolerate nor respect people for whom there have been disastrous consequences, period.

Quoting: JuliusHuh, full Farsi localization? I thought US sanctions made it nearly impossible to buy games of Steam in Iran?

You know I'm pretty sure there are Iranians in another countries that would be happy to play it in their language. I know it's crazy.

Ahah, I love his answer!
Just imagine: this will be the only PS4 emulator that works fine for some time, Windows users have to install Linux just for it...

Sorry guys, I agree with you, but it's just so funny, you can't take me that.

Still waiting for the Linux release on GOG.
With this bad move, will they support Linux for the sequel? I don't think so...

This whole story is a joke seriously, IMO, all of this kind are.
The kind of jokes we live with everyday.
Obviously I also backed up the repo too.
Fuck'em.

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: CyrilWonderful, can't wait to try the native version as I already have the Windows version from GOG.
But I'm wondering, what is the difference between this new Linux release and the old one?

As far as I know, they just couldn't upload it to Steam until now.

OK but the old ones Linux/macOS are available on GOG but the store only say Windows support...
