Steam forces game updates down your throat. It makes sense for competitive online games, but take fallout 4 for example. Totally offline single player. A million mods made for specific game versions, and all the guides for modding stress a half dozen little things you can do to your steam install to stop the updates but the shit happens anyway. Crap like modifying steam INI files and making them read only. Shit users shouldn't need to do.

It's not on Bethesda to just what...not update their game? It's on steam to say hold up, maybe we shouldnt be pushing this update - it might break everything. Yes/no dialog prompts aren't rocket science.

A few weeks ago Bethesda pushed a new update on a 10+ year old game, and it destroyed countless modded save files for everyone. This is on steam and their ham fisted updates.

Edit: don't take my word for it, find some reviews here with 1000+ hours in the game:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/reviews/

910.3 hrs on record - "Bethesda? Please stop releasing updates to 10y+ old games. Just breaking mods and frustrating players at this point."

1,565.3 hrs on record - 'Well, after 1.6K hours spent playing, all the towns built, monsters killed and latex suits craftet for my beautifull girls companions, latest update destroyed all the 200 mods again...'

1,617.5 hrs on record - "The new update was hot rubbish. Leave well enough alone Bethesda, updating a ten-year old game and breaking a thriving modding community..."

Tell that to the public school teachers holding fundraisers for school supplies. Even police departments hold staggering amounts of fundraisers for police equipment lol.

I maybe wouldn't donate to NASA generally, but a fundraiser for a specific mission? Hell yes take my money. We would have Gundams by next year

It's always neat to see how their propaganda reflects their fears and what they see in their daily life way more than what we see. Like the actual neo nazis part. If they were actually in the US they'd see all the far right neo nazis comfortably gobbling up the republican party position that - hey maybe russia isn't so bad.

It's only in Russia where they have massive amounts of neonazis directly opposed to the Russian government, who then decide to fight for ukraine. It's massive amounts of RUSSIAN neonazis they are mad about. Because Russia has a massive neonazi problem.

They tell on themselves with their propaganda constantly.

At least the US government was trying to fix it back then.
