  • I also liked them. Hopefully the article is wrong about

    “Season 15 also features the return of loot boxes,” a press release says. “You will be able to earn a variety of cosmetics when collecting loot boxes. They will be available from weekly and event rewards.” You’ll also be able to earn one loot box via the free battle pass and an additional two in the Premium battle pass.

    Weekly and event rewards, and one free one per season??? That’s just insulting

    Sure, you’ve just described one of the ways that Monsanto is evil. Keeping a deathgrip on the seed production and making the cost of signing another contract just slightly less than the cost of a potential legal battle is scummy as hell. Instead of making things up to be mad at, let’s be mad at them for that.

    I feel that I’m correct because by both the strict definition of the word suing, and the inclusion of out of court settlements, I can’t find any examples of Monsanto pursuing any sort of legal action against farmers who accidentally grew their crops when the seeds were spread by natural means.

    Don’t get me wrong, the concept of patenting a living thing is ghoulish and evil, and farmers should absolutely be allowed to grow whatever seeds they want. Just don’t misrepresent someone intentionally breaching a contract as something totally accidental and out of their control
