      One could say a lot of disparaging but “not wrong” things about people who buy video games. For us to point and laugh at the horse armor people is self defense at best. The guy just shouldn’t have gone there.

      That was exactly my thought after reading that response.

      Like yeah obviously that’s not something you actually say… But he’s not wrong. Anyone buying horse armor was a fucking moron. Many micro transaction purchasers are morons. The dolphins and whales definitely are.

      That doesn’t mean the tactics companies use to promote that bullshit get a pass though either. His comment can both be correct, and decisions in the wrong at the same time.

        And they did it again for the remake. The remake included all of the game’s useful DLC, which included a major expansion, two extra quests, a few features that were added to Skyrim, and a few player homes. However, you had to pay extra for the horse armour (and I think this deluxe edition also had a weapon/armour pack or something like that).

        I actually think it’s fine to buy horse armour even if you don’t use it, because you got your money’s worth from the game and wanted to reward the developer. The horse armour itself was stupid. (I had the GOTY Deluxe on PC. It included all nine DLC, including horse armour.) It was just a flashy cosmetic thing you could add. IMO none of it looked good, but maybe someone liked it?

          Not true. The only DLC you could buy extra to the Remaster was the new armor/weapon sets, one is a special set of Daedric armor, and the other is a special “holy” armor kinda like Knights of The Nine.

          I didn’t buy it, but I know that that’s what the deal is.

            So you’re saying Horse Armour is included with the base version of the remaster? That’s weird. I played it on GamePass and I don’t recall being offered horse armour.

      No, and neither was Mark Zuckerberg when he called his (Facebook) users “dumb fucks” for giving him all their personal information.

      Being right doesn’t make one not an arsehole though. Nor does being right give you the right to be an arsehole. In fact, I personally think it’s better to be a good, upstanding person than it is to simply be correct.

          Being wilfully ignorant is evil, can’t even consider them good acrually
