Brexit - The Alarming Impact on PC Gaming

Several of the most familiar PC games are getting updates to reflect the post-Brexit world. They are a strange and disturbing mix.

lol, this is satire, I get it but it will go right over some people's heads.

[Deadpooled]

Oh man that Nigel Farage in the tracer pose...

Nigel Farage is so entertaining to watch when he speaks against others at the seats.

[UltimateMaster]

Actually, the Brexit had impact on the technology stock market went down 4%, including AMD.
I think it over-exageration reaction of the market, like usual.
Due to Britain exiting the EU, their trade value price will drop and change their currency exchange.
Their attempt at keeping their AAA stock status now changed to uncertainty for an undetermined period of time.
It was close too, 52% for exit vs 48% to stay in the EU.
Barrack Obama said they will go in the back of the line in exchange with Washington.
Still, it's not like these companies, like AMD, are going out of business. AMD stock should increase with the arrival of the new consoles.
Stock market is closed today, we'll see how it will affect on Monday.

There's a serious article on this topic but no one is bothering with it.

[WelkinCole]

Where?

[salinas91]

UK Video games after Brexit. It hasn't been approved yet.

[Deadpooled]

There was one on Friday morning which got 1000+ degrees heat and over 200 comments

The only world that changes will be the one of the English and Wales...Scotland and (Northern) Ireland becoming independent....Not being able to live and work in the EU anymore....Suddenly they will be Small Britain banished on some rainy island. The whole Brexit campaign was based on lies anyway so it's possible there will be another referendum. Everybody chill.

[ninsigma]

*Northern Ireland

We in the south are already free of them ;)

I'm hoping there will be another referendum because of those lies. I mean, the two big driving points of the leave campaign were dismissed within 24 hours after they got the W. Bad form, and needs a re-do. I also disagree with making such a drastic change when the difference between leave and stay was tiny.

[Errorist76]

A reunited Ireland would be one great thing to come out of this mess.

[conanlifts]

I agree that a second referendum should be held. More honesty and information. Leaving the EU at the expense of Scotland leaving Britain isn't worth it. Plus the risk to peace in N Ireland, again not worth it.
In addition the biggest point is 16 out of 17 million want to stay. Surely such a huge decision needs a bigger majority.

[Errorist76]

@sd11

Especially since a considerable amount of those who voted to leave is gonna die during the next decade. Hell even just one year later the vote could have had a way different result considering a huge amount of 17 year olds not wanting to leave and not being able to vote yet.

[Deadpooled]

What politician hasn't "lied" on policies to get into Parliament? How many times did Cameron backtrack on his policies in both terms as PM? Plenty. Believing there should be a second referendum despite a proper majority (51.9%) forming a decision from a proper democratic vote, is wholly anti-democratic (no surprise when the other option was to remain in a union with an undemocratic corrupt organisation)

Also that second referendum petition had just below 400000 of the 2.5 million + signatures by real British residents, and also it has been exposed as a prank by 4Chan (what's worse is the BBC and other remainstream media believed it to be legit, just shows the state of news nowadays).

[ShaunCameron]

Ireland's already independent. Scotland's just looking for a new master to be at the mercy of.

[Errorist76]

Ireland?! Northern Ireland isn't yet but that probably will change.

[HarryMasonHerpderp]

Sorry but there will be no second referendum, you can't decide to keep having a referendum until you get the result that you want. We live in a democracy thank God and the verdict is we're leaving the corrupt European union. Now we can decide how to run our own country free of Breaurocrats. There's a reason the Netherlands, Italy and France also want to have a referendum. The European union will die.

[Errorist76]

That's a terrible thing to wish for. Might be you don't leave your country much...it's sad so many listen to nationalist idiots these days. The EU needs to be reformed not broken up. Less neoliberalism and lobbying. At the core the EU still is a wonderful thing and every true European knows that. Only miserable, sad and old people who never leave their homelands want to go back to nationalism.

It's naive to think there would be no bureaucracy in new SB. The days of The Commonwealth and strong Britain on a global scale are long gone. The sooner you backward people accept that the better.

Edit because of comment limit:

@Harry

Why do you say it wasn't working?! I agree there are things that need to be reformed but a lot of things that changed because of globalisation factors during the last decades won't simply disappear when Britain is "independent". Australia and Canada play almost no role on the global scale. America is certainly not the great and especially free and independent country they think they are. If you truly believe that you have never been over, especially considering European interpretations of freedom with it essentially being a police state with no true democracy.
Europe is much stronger if we stick together.

[HarryMasonHerpderp]

Australia, Canada, America are all great countries. They're independent, why can't Britain be too? Ive been to many different countries and I love Europe. Does that mean I have to like the European union? No. Unlike most people, I see the positives of staying in the union and I understand why people voted to remain but I saw the positives in leaving too and so I made that decision. The union is a great idea in theory but it wasn't working so what's wrong with trying something different? There's a lot of accusations coming from the remain camp like oh if you voted to leave you're "racist, old or uneducated" I'm none of those things. I just want the UK to be independent. What's so bad about that?

[ninsigma]

Nothing wrong with wanting to be independent in and of itself. But what are the reasons for it?? UK still won't have control of their borders. They have a deal with France separate to the EU where people can freely move between the two. Taxes are decided based on the economy. Another recession will be on the way which means taxes will go up. The UK have removed themselves from one of the biggest decision making groups in the world where they had a really big say in what happened. Now, they'll feel the ramifications without having a say as well as for the 2 years after Article 50 has been invoked, the UK will still have to abide by EU law but are not allowed a say in anything. The EU will make sure to give them the worst deal they can so as to avoid other countries from following suit. Major companies will leave to EU countries and if London has its way, it will leave the UK (probably not likely but it does have a population bigger than Scotland who are about to get a 2nd vote). It makes things harder for younger people who want to study abroad in European countries. The pound has dropped. And the worst of it all, the out vote was based on lies.

[kneon]

Couldn't they also just call an election with the parties running on a leave or remain platform. If a "Remain" party wins then that would supersede the referendum.

[conanlifts]

The parties won't step down to do that though. Too worried about their jobs. Plus many party members in favour of an exit are in the governing party. I.e Boris Johnson head of brexit and david Cameron head of stay are in the same party.

[ninsigma]

Yes and no. I don't know how our government would afford an extra 6 counties. If the EU were to fund it then happy days! Also, the violence in the north will surely kick up again where the loyalists won't want to leave the UK and the so called "neo IRA" will start their crap again because they want a united Ireland. If it can be done peacefully and we can get funding to support the extra population then bring it on!

[conanlifts]

One thing to take note of is that the referendum is not legally binding. The current leaders will be sacked or resign and any future leaders could always refuse to invoke article 50. Why does it take 3+ months for a pm to resign? So he can hope for carnage and then let a new leader step up and say enough is enough we will reform not leave.
That's a strong possibility.

[ninsigma]

Yeah but unfortunately I think it's going to be a leave advocate to be the next PM. Not sure why it takes that long to resign but Cameron is doing the right thing by not invoking Article 50 yet. It can't fall back on him if it goes horribly wrong lol.

I am hoping they put it to a parliamentary vote and they vote stay.

[conanlifts]

Have to disagree about the older people comment. If anything the next 5 + years would be rougher than those that follow. So if this is the case the older generation will suffer as much.
In addition i have heard young people talking and giving their opinions. They said their concerns were travelling/ holidays and gap year work breaks. Im in favour of staying in but the older generation had better and more tangible concerns. I.e immigration, overcrowding, strain on Healthcare etc. The difference is i think the EU should be reformed. It's current state is no good.

[Immorals]

The remain campaign were spreading lies, the leave campaign were spreading lies. It's a mess.

Now the political parties are tearing themselves apart, and that vile, racist woman from the SNP is gaining power.

Once this all settled down the UK will be much better off!

[Deadpooled]

SNP in a nutshell...

A Union of 50 million is oppressive, but a Union of 500 million is desirable.

[WelkinCole]

I think the vote has really been along the Nationalist and Socialist lines to honest.

Its obvious the Nationalist wanted U.K for U.K only which does sound xenophobic and selfish but I guess its human nature or rather the part that we don't want to admit is there.

Socialist on the other hand see the benefit of working together for the benefit of the collective even though some might be worse off than others. Its classic individualism vs common good.

U.K Nationalist see and feel that they are getting the worst part of the deal so they opted out.

All of this hoopla about not wanting Brussels control over them is really just a facade because in the end Brussels does not pick the UK Parliament nor their PM or cabinet.

Did Tony Blair asked Brussels for permission to join the US in the Iraq war?.

The point is the U.K has always been free to make their own decisions. The fact that they opted out of the E.U is proof of that lol!.

E.U is not a country but rather it is a collective and its purpose is to provide a bigger political clout collectively, facilitate commerce,collaboration/cost savings for members and promote European unity. However each individual are still free to push their own interest on their own.

After the 2008 crash and the turmoil in the middle east the EU is facing some serious challenges and it is obvious that the U.K really just want to cut lose from any obligations for those even though they like with the US are the main course of the current problems in the middle east that Europe is dealing with with refugees which I find ironic.

I rather if the leave people would be just honest and say it. We don't want to deal with the refugees problem we helped create and we don't want to pay bailing out poorer E.U nations. That in the end is what this Britext is really about.
