Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Star Wars Outlaws doesn't let you free aim and fire from your speeder because Massive didn't want you to "feel as if you can ride in and assault people" (www.gamesradar.com)

Destiny had the same thing... If you could shoot from the Sparrow there'd be no reason to do anything else.

Perfect example of how hopelessly out of touch these suits are. Normal humans see a speeder and think "oh nice, hoverbike thing that's sweet". These executives watch the movie, see that the bikes are used sparingly pretty much only during chase scenes and think "oh chase scene, that's what people love about speeder bikes, the chase scene."
