Epilogue: Someone in my Commune decided to spawn in on my boat while I was asleep and take it... they then wrecked it. The Mission Failed.
Not sure if I want to play anymore. Communism sucks.
Eve Online is the libertarian wet dream and overwhelmingly proves the superiority of socialism. You could try that!
If you can pick at rocks and chop down trees and pick fruit for hours on end so that you can read in chat about the thrilling high seas adventures that your clan leaders are having then I guess socialism would appear superior to you.
So I have been playing a lot of Atlas since it was on early release and I must say that I am rather impressed.
Part 1
Now, will I continue to play a lot of the game? I don't know. It is definitely a technical win for the developer over the doubters (I was one of them)
You seem to really like terrible, lazy, half baked, cash grab asset flips.
Even better. Go get your ship blown up in glorious battle and get reimbursed for its loss from a tax-funded reimbursement pool!
You seem to really like talking about things you admit to knowing nothing about.

Not sure you know what socialism is.
Anything funded by taxes is socialism. That’s the modern conservative definition.
Early access/release is just another word for pay to Beta test. As the saying goes, there's a sucker born every minute...

False. You have it exactly opposite. It is the modern Progressive that endlessly attempts to portray military and public road construction as socialism.
You just own-goaled with a Straw man. That's impressive.. ly sad.
No, that’s just applying conservative use of the word to other things. If taxpayer-funded healthcare is socialism, so is taxpayer-funded roads. We don’t bring up roads because we think roads are socialism, we bring them up because you think UHC is.
Nope. Again you have it wrong. The industry that the Government takes over in taxpayer-funded healthcare is the health insurance industry that employs hundreds of many thousands of people. Later down the road the Progressive end-goal is the government take-over of health care. It is the government takeover of industry that is socialism.
The vast majority of the work done on roads is paid for by the government and paid to private construction companies. What industry does the government takeover in that scenario?
Hint: They don't. They are a customer.
The government has taken over the road building industry.
Doctors in Canada and Germany and Australia and Japan are not government employees.
Nope. There are tons of private roads being funded and built. Hell, many major new highways are contracted out to companies that then charge tolls to make a profit.
Your goofball argument would require the government to pass a law that only the government can fund the building of roads AND that all road construction workers be government employees. Has that happened? :roll:
Like I said, in the world of road construction the government is mostly a customer, not a producer.
And? Where did I say anything about Canada, Germany or Australia? :roll:
Straw Man #2.
You sure get your panties is a wad when someone bad mouths Communism, don't ya? :lol:
Communism? Who was talking about communism?
so, universal healthcare in canada isn’t socialism because the government is just a customer. Cool. I’m glad we actually agree on this.
Your poorly reasoned snark began as a response to a post I made where the ONLY economic model I mentioned was Communism. Sorry for assuming you could read.
I'm old enough to remember the golden age of gaming where every game was a paid beta test. "Failed to Launch, please free 620k of Base Memory"
Maybe I'm just nostalgic.
It's a fascinating game, bugs an all, though.
