Yup, they should apologize for tech issues first. If you pay up $60 you should expect certain level of quality, and ME:A didn't deliver on that. I think they kind of did It's hard to "kind of" do anything. They either did or they didn't bro... The bugs in this game are what you'd expect from some steam early access game not a AAA game.

True, in that regard, everything is "fake news", at least to a certain degree... and since only very few people bother to get all the facts - even before bringing "alternative facts" into the mix - means that most of them are misinformed. Well I definitely don't endorse the buzzword "fake news" as it's just a danger to freedom of the press. John Mccain has talked about this: “I hate the press. I hate you, especially,” he said to Todd, who laughed. “But the fact is, we need you. We need a free press. We must have it. It's vital.”
“If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and, many times, adversarial press,” McCain added. “And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started.”So no I would not take the buzzword "fake news" seriously at all and the term "alternative facts" needs no explanation. It is pretty hard to find actual news journalism these days. The news media are simply extensions of their political affiliates. All of the mainstream network and cable news broadcast is political theater not journalism. The term 'free press' these days is just a disguise to begin with, everything you see on TV news and most online news is simply a rendition of one or the other's agenda wrapped around whatever small nugget of fact they are trying to stain with their own perceptions. How can it be "free" when it is neither independent nor unbiased? The funniest thing is people that think John McCain and Chuck Todd are adversarial or enemies to begin with. They are all part of the same elitist establishment. All the disagreeing and arguing is part of the political theater they perform each day to keep the masses focused on arguing with each other instead of looking critically at their self appointed masters.

Divide and conquer... "he will not divide us" my ass, that's exactly what the media - and both parties, for that matter - want: Race, sex, religion, you name it... keep them outraged, keep them voting, and keep them SPENDING! Really not that hard to get... just very depressing.
