Look, I'm not a fancy CEO guy, but if someone said to me "the key to this successful single-player IP's success is to make it purely a multiplayer game. No, not a spin off: fundamentally change the DNA of what people loved about the core game" to me, I'd probably, like, quit that job or something.

“Advocates” say? Or the data SHOWS?
If it’s the data, just say that.
Like, physicists don’t SAY the earth is round. Physicists just share the data SHOWING the earth is round.
Enough of this “one side says” stuff if one side has the actual data.

The burst of new laws follows a landmark Supreme Court ruling and reflects public frustration with record-high homelessness. But advocates say fines and jail time will only make the problem worse.
100-plus cities in the U.S. banned homeless camping this year. But will it work?

Trump's first round of tax cuts for the rich added nearly $2 trillion to the debt.
Extending them would add another $5 trillion.
If we "can't afford" universal health care or paid family leave or basic social safety nets, Trump's handouts to the rich are why.

Republicans gear up for the coming battle over $5 trillion tax cut's costs
Republicans are united on extending the 2017 tax cuts, but at odds on how to offset the cost.
