Oh so suddenly you found the means of determining what actions disqualify a country now?

Yeah, this is a case of a company being misleading about its offline mode and what that means. Like the article says, it's supposed to be a one-time activation check. Not a requirement to play the game, they were supposed to have learned this lesson with Assassin Creed 2's DRM.

This should open up some trouble for misleading customers.

What does that have to do with you not knowing that when countries get banned from international competitions, it's easy to find out exactly why, and that having such policies is pretty simple?

What do you mean "Yeah..."? They already replied to you a while ago and it wasn't anything at all like this whining above.

Go respond to the legitimate misgivings about your source instead of pretending like this guy's stupid prediction came true.

The only people sending this message are morons who think the NP is a reputable source of news and not conservative agiprop.

Don't pretend like you'd read such a list. You just said you had no way to figure out why a country would be banned from an international competition just one comment ago. If you couldn't even think of reading an official explanation, we're supposed to believe that a list that would be published in the same place would result in you being better informed?

It's pretty dead simple to ban a country from competition for being warmongering and genocidal. What would be complicated?

There's no means of determining what actions disqualify a country?

You really think Russia was banned from IOC participation for no clear reason and that it wasn't explained at all? There are some very simple means you can employ to determine what actions disqualified them.

They started adding ads all over that Google news feed when you swipe right from your homescreen last year, the one that's built into the Pixel launcher.

Australian wines are pretty popular in Canada.

That's California's problem with the rest of their own country and their POTUS, not Canada's problem.

What is your point? That Canada should accept Californian wines to stick it to Trump?
