Provide a slider that lets players adjust the crappy tint filter from invisible to 100% black. All Shades Matter.

Christ, that's such a low-effort virtue signal that it actually rivals the "flag in profile pic" for laziest activism.

They also did the flag thing.

It's abundantly clear they just stuck a dark filter over the whole body, even the clothes are darker.

I don't care if she went from white to black or black to Asian or Hispanic to Martian. The customer paid for something and they changed it to something else. Offering refunds is the objectively correct thing to do.

"But you're racist if you take the refund!"

I really wish that was standard across the board. I should always have access to the original version of something I paid for, if that's not possible then give me a refund.

Allowing users to refund

I love how it frames it as something evil. How dare the consumer be upset when what they were sold was forcefully updated to be substantially different.

I like the language in the pictured tweet. “Allowing people to refund it for free,” as if the idea of them charging for it would ever be a reasonable thought.

Actually...

As someone who used to play the game obsessively and impulse bought a ton of crap, "free refund" is correct.

When you start the game, you get three refund tokens. When you use them all, you get a timer counting down one year to use another.

It's free because you don't use a refund token, like you would if you were refunding something you just didn't like using.

What do you mean you ordered steak and we swapped it for a lump of shit while you were looking at your phone? No, it was always a lump of shit, the original vision of the chef was a lump of shit.

Chocolate Skank, Vanilla Skank, I’m cool with both.

Anyone else having issues getting archive to work? The captcha never submits.


I can't believe people cared enough for this change to be considered, let alone made. I blame the Black Panther skin existing. It pulled all the Lulu Hamilton types in.

No, it works for me.

Perhaps your VPN exit address is banned or flagged for botting?

I'll change my VPN location and try again later I suppose.
