"More migrants dropped off outside vice president's home in freezing weather on Christmas Eve"

Just yet another reminder (as if we needed one) that Republicans are evil.

Merry fucking Christmas.

I don't think I necessarily agree with Tycho's blog, though, which seems to be siding with Epic, at least somewhat.

Everyone else doing the same shit for years (i.e. "long-standing industry practices") actually isn't the valid excuse for doing something shitty that they (and Tycho) seem to believe it to be.

I'm not sure that vast government overreach is the answer, mind you. But then, nothing else has slowed down the rampant anti-consumer dumbfuckery that the modern video game industry has been doing for the past decade or three, so... *shrug*

Also...

"Honestly, I think Epic's statement is pretty good. I think it's reasonable for them to be somewhat surprised, because as I said above, the things they're being made to account for are practices that have been in use broadly. This is like getting pulled over for speeding after somebody literally just passed you, going faster than you were." (Emphasis mine.)
