Just released and I was ready to pull the trigger until I found out it forces you to have a Facebook account or it’s an expensive paperweight. The stones on these assholes. You’re dropping $300 minimum and they still require you allow them to mine, monitor, and sell your personal data.

The irony here is that gamers are some of the biggest OG trolls on the internet. So Facebook is making them choose between being a horrible human being or being a gamer. In 2020 I don’t have confidence in predicting which they would decide is more important to them. Or I don’t know, pick one of the many other gaming options that isn’t run by the thought police.
