What's hilarious about this entire bizarre part of the e-mails is that this could be a lie or the truth, meaning that "Bubba" could be referring to:
1. Bill Clinton
2. The son of an oil tycoon
3. A HORSE.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

I mean hell, y'all keep competing to be "tough on crime," but you won't be tough on accessories to sex trafficking minors just because...what, it's icky? Do it. That's what "tough on crime" means, in a literal sense. Sex trafficking = crime, exposing and punishing perpetrators = tough on.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.
The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.
