That is a good rationale for how things played out as they did. However, it does not change my opinion on this series by much. I still look forward to the next movie instalment.
BTW, I was not expecting a response when I made the comment. This community seemed deserted. Thanks for engaging here. I see you have made a few other posts and comments in this community.
I just finished watching the finale.
This and the previous episode felt rushed and weird.
To me, the series is a 3/5 at best, and I would not be recommending it for casual viewing, unless you are a fan of Batman (like me), or specifically a fan of this particular interpretation of Batman (also, like me).
Spoiler-free rant
What’s with all the protagonists of the series treating the city and people as they please (mainly the multiple explosions and murders) without any repurcussions.
I get that Batman is not present or has gone into hiding or whatever, but the police? What about other criminal groups?
Seems like everyone gets a free pass as long as the story warrants it.
Spoilery rant
Everything that transpired over the eight episodes, and the bat-signal comes up in the last 5 seconds of the series. What a joke!
Also, I never was a fan of name drops, and nothing changed with the mention of Selina Kyle. It gives a feeling that the makers haven’t really thought about the specifics of where these characters go from here.
Looking at some of the news and discussion surrounding the game, it is clear that there are significant financial transactions involved.
The game is also four years old, well beyond the stage of mere interest checks.
It could be argued that the hack was carried out without a specific goal or knowledge of what data might be gained (as a display of hacking prowess, for instance). However, in this case, it’s clear why this particular game was targeted.
Whether or not the users “deserved” it is a separate discussion; one where I would agree with you. Many of the people involved may have been too trusting or gullible in their investments.
The comment you are responding to had meant that a bad actor can cross check other breached datasets for the emails and usernames leaked from Earth2.
Since people reuse not just passwords but emails too, one may get access to other accounts of the impacted users, potentially even to accounts which have not been breached.
Batman V Superman from 2016.
My local theatre had an early early show: an early morning premiere, a day earlier than the official release date.
In spite of the, frankly, stupid trailer #2, I was still excited to see the first live action movie with Batman and Superman with my fellow nerds.
We came out of the theatre thinking it was a good movie, with Lex Luthor’s odd shenanigans aside (mannerisms, maintaining tabs on meta humans with well designed logos, etc.).
I specifically remember appreciating and talking about the movie’s score (Hans Zimmer), cinematography (Larry Fong), and costumes (Michael Wilkinson and Ironhead Studios).
While driving back, one of us checked the reviews and box office indications, and it was abysmal. The reaction was so bad that there was unspoken agreement between us to never talk about it again in public.
I still like the movie, and like the Ultimate Edition even more. But I wasn’t a fan of all the movies that followed.
E: grammar
At the point, I would consider the author’s scepticism being true a best case scenario, with every new piece of information I learn about Shadows.
It is baffling that it required so many years and attempts for Ubisoft to realise that their modern day storyline sucks. I would argue that it was a glorified side quest even during Desmond’s arc though it went downhill soon after that arc “closed”.
There is absolutely nothing that Ubisoft can say or do to win back my trust. This game is going to be as shallow as any of their recent entries, if not more.
I have gone through the links, and I still cannot find the answer to my question on what makes UPI “absolutely horrible when it comes to privacy” when compared to the other options in your original comment.
I still maintain that all practical means of digital transactions are inherently poor for privacy, regardless of the channel/medium. One is not less private than the other.
Of course, mediums like cryptocurrency exists which “promise” privacy while transacting. But they are not practical in India, and also do not operate at the scale of the options we are discussing about.
Also, I really appreciate responding back with links, but a line directly answering my question would have saved some time, especially since the links you shared are irrelevant to our discussion. None of the links actually do a comparison of the options or even state that one is outright better than the other. If anything, some of the comments in the linked forum posts only echo what I am saying about the lack of privacy across all digital transactions.
