You probably have a charger at home, though.

By fucking up the region they are also increasing gas prices and fucking up the stock markets, both of which will cause political headaches in the US. They’re trying to make it very expensive for the US to attack them.

What I’m saying is that StarCraft didn’t so much “have that issue solved” as it just didn’t create that issue for itself. It’s also a lot easier to do things offline when your game is designed to be sold once instead of the micro transactions hellscape and constant “events” you see nowadays.

Sean Connery turned down both Gandalf in Lord of the Rings and Morpheus in The Matrix because he didn’t understand the scripts. He turned down Dumbledore in Harry Potter because it was too fantastical. Then he tried a reverse approach where he accepted the next role he didn’t understand, because clearly that was where the money was at.
