Oh, that’s great. Last I had heard, Mojang thought console players were too dumb for bundles or something like that, so it’s good to hear that they’re finally adding them to the game.

Nah, that’s just toxic corporate stuff.

It’s the same thing a lot of companies’ subscriptions do where they give you something extra over time so that they can take it away if you ever decide to try testing out another service. Normally it is something small though, like something decorative or just something saying that you’ve been a member for a long time, so at least they’re giving you something useful for them to take away later, or maybe that makes it worse, I dunno~

Well, a little bit of ‘yes’ and a little bit of ‘no’.

If it is possible over the course of the game for turn orders to be changed, or for a player to choose to draw a card, or cause another player to draw a card, then it matters in a way.

If I can cause actions to make another player draw a card, then it is more meaningful if the deck is shuffled already, because the card that I caused the player to draw is the same as the card I would have drawn if I drawn a card instead. However, from the perspective of the user, there is no way for them to know the difference.

I feel like it is better for the integrity of the game if the deck is shuffled for real, though. Because if ever a user finds out that it doesn’t work how it is expected, then it cheapens the experience in a way. Kind of like how the old Mario Party games determined the outcome of dice rolls when the die appeared on screen instead of when you pressed the button to ‘roll’ them.

There are a few inaccuracies in your statement, but It was clear the whole thing was about money from the start though, you shouldn’t be surprised about this. If you were hoping for AI to be free to you, you should have only been supportive of software that you could run on your own hardware.

Anyway, these companies are in the position of ISPs now, where they have customers, but they don’t want to pay for the infrastructure to support the amount of customers that they have, since they can make the same amount of money without making their customers happy.

None of that helps you… Sorry…

Haha, I know they’re doing it for the wrong reason, but it’s still a pretty alright idea.

Woah, that’s the first good idea ISPs have had in a very long time.

I’m pretty sure Reddit is just down right now, even the app isn’t working.

Wow, that’s a real bummer.

Good luck with fixing it! Of course, I guess you won’t be seeing this until you do. Haha!
