@gabriel @silverpill Well even then, you still need some sort of way to make digital payments for the purposes I've mentioned. Some people would rather use it in a decentralized and (somewhat) anonymous manner.

>or normalize digital currenecy

I never understood this sentiment because I never hear anyone claiming that Bitcoin (or any other cryptocurrency) should replace cash. I always saw cryptocurrencies as a decentralized alternative to payment processors like PayPal and nothing more. That's what got me excited about it when I first heard about it back in 2013-2014. I always felt that we need a way to make decentralized payments over the Internet for things like donating to FOSS projects, renting VPSes, etc. You can't really do that with cash or barter, but that doesn't mean that digital currencies should replace those things.

@beardalaxy I would like to see games distributed via flash drives. There was some LootCrate-like service that gave you an indie game on a flash drive every month but they have long since been shutdown.

I also want to see cereal box games to make a comeback. It would be a great way to get people to try new games.

@beardalaxy @lina @PurpCat It seems like both missions were made to be shocking as possible in order to create a Streisand effect.

>because few developers want to be seen as making a "mass shooter simulator"

And even fewer developers want to make games involving child death. That's why children are absent in games like GTA, Postal, and Hatred. This especially became true after Columbine. Hell, a lot of people believe that part of the reason that Mother 3 still hasn't been localized is the fact that child death is a key part of the game's plot.

@lina @PurpCat Honestly, the "family vacation" mission in MW3 is much more shocking because it involves a small child being killed on-screen, yet that mission never remotely received the amount of backlashed that "No Russian" did.
