  • I’ve not been privy to much censorship in my life (that I noticed) but I distinctly remember in Giants: Citizen Kabuto, there was a quest to slay some sheep and bring back their meat for food and the meat was green. As a 10 year old, I thought it was part of the lore. Since you were on another planet, it made sense to me… maybe these are alien sheep!
    I only realized it years later when I had forgotten the game’s title and asked about it, describing the green sheep meat, on a forum. I was told it was censorship and which game it was. Replayed it in its pure form and the meat was red.




  • We no longer own our products.

    This is a popular saying but its not as clear cut. You have choice. You can own the products you use or buy. So why don’t you?

    Yes, the software we used yesterday is no longer a one time purchase today. However, you still own the software you bought yesterday and you have choice to buy new software which you will own or you can subscribe to a service providing the updated version of the new software. Example:

    I can still use a purchased copy of Adobe Lightoom from 2010.
    I can buy a new license for Affinity Photo today and use it forever.
    I can pay to use Lightroom as a service.

    Imo, the only price you pay is the trek you take into unfamiliarity brought on by using new software.
