Existence appears to be tautological.
N_Lens··on R/opensource bans AI-made and AI-focused projects and non-English speakers
Obvious reactionary faux pas on part of the moderation team, since it's exclusionary, easily gamed, and punishes & drives away honest people. Not the sharpest minds at work here.
N_Lens··on "For the Colony " and Other Phrases to Comfort Ourselves in Modern Life

N_Lens··on EA is shutting down BioWare
Well BioWare pioneered romance options with many characters, including same sex options and even threesomes etc. I suppose that doesn't align with Saudi sentiments.
N_Lens··on EA is shutting down BioWare
I think it's more the economics of capitalism in general and private equity in particular. EA is more like PE now than a game publisher.
