People who proudly boast about how they never spend a dime on Epic Games, in their store, but has hundreds of free games to play with no intent to play them. Like, I don’t know who is supposed to be impressed by that. Not to mention, that’s not really a good method of protesting if you’re someone who hates Epic Games.

You’re still spending the time and effort, not to mention even bothering to have an account with them to begin with, to redeem free games that they give away. Who are you seriously trying to impress or what message are you trying to convey? Because all I see are contradictions and ironies.

    A counter point to the passport thing is the size of the us. You can travel the same distance as Spain to Finland to Ukraine without a passport. Go to la, ny, boston, Dallas, Miami and Seattle and tell me they have the same culture.

      As someone else already tried that argument, I’ll say the same thing. We do have the same culture. Sure there are minor differences, but we all celebrate thanksgiving, christmas, there’s always a Target nearby and there’s always an auto mile. It’s all the same. Nowhere in the US, except I would consider Hawaii as a maybe, do you actually experience fully a different culture, to be in complete culture shock, where things you know as concrete and rigid are thrown out the window.

      The difference between Finland and Spain is greater than the difference between Seattle and Miami.

      Anyway, a passport is not required in either case.
