The only reason that happened was because that CEO's decisions lead to massive negative results in China's real-estate sectors, which in turn cost the Chinese government a lot of money, and THAT is why that criminal actually saw consequences.

Don't take that as proof that China judges everyone fairly regardless of wealth/status. As long as you keep your crimes to an extent that it doesn't cause a massive backlash on large swaths of the country, it's a different ballgame.

As others have said, you'd be wise to distrust both.

    THE ONLY REASON TO PREORDER IS TO ENSURE YOU HAVE A COPY ON LAUNCH.

    Do you think they will run out of digital copies of you to download? (Just in case someone doesn’t know, that's not how digital downloads work)

    It’s that fucking simple. Pre-order bonuses are almost never worth it on their own, and even for those that are, you’re enabling and supporting a predatory/anti-consumer practice.

    Fucking seriously. There is so much fucking factual shit to nail these disgusting monsters on, yet morons continue to lift up fake fucking bullshit and sensationalized narratives.

    Some real captured opposition shit. It’s pathetic and ridiculous, eroding a very clear moral/justified high ground, giving these evil people plausible deniability for NO FUCKING REASON.

    There are far more sedan shapes over SUV ones on the road, but with that said I agree with your reasoning. It’s natural that the most efficient shapes are adopted en masse so everyone can benefit. Same with other things like safety standards/regulations.
