Kyleran on yours sincerely
'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'
Gdemami absolutely not being an armchair developer
Never forget.

1k target is nothing for Twitch, they'll make more.
It's good to see MMORPG.com spreading a good cause like this, thank you guys.
I love charity too, humanity is a long lost art now : (
But never forget that the only reason you can say such things is because of the people being remembered tomorrow.

Good to see gamers getting involved in your Memorial Day, which I guess is the same as our Remembrance Sunday. If you ever get the chance watch Rated on Forces TV which is a decent games review show, presented mostly by vets.
I'm not saying all wars are like that. But that's not the veterans' fault. If you want to blame anyone for human killings, blame the men who started those wars. Because, if it was up to the vets to decide the fates of wars, I bet there would be no wars at all.
But what do I know. I'm just someone who has survived not one but two war zones. You probably have a better view from your moral high horse, so you're probably right.
Bless them over there and here. Only they know what they’ve been through.
We haven’t been fighting for freedom in a long time though. Keep it real.
"I don't support any group that takes part in human killings"
As a post 9/11 veteran myself (OEF/OIF 2ndMarDiv) you are 100% entitled to take that position if you want to, that's the beauty of what we do. It's the most selfless thing imo to risk your life and know that the people you are risking it for might not care that you are even doing it.
You still do it, because we as people need freedom, regardless if you want it or not.
There are Government officials, world leaders, politicians, etc that influence the way orders get sent down but one should never, in my opinion, blame the people following the orders. But this is America.. you have the freedom to do as you please, but just know if it weren't for those type of people, this place would be very different.
There is a huge misunderstanding that if people join the military its because they "like to kill people" that's just not true. There are many jobs (MOS) in the service and most of them are not "killing people jobs" to be honest most don't join to kill, its other reasons. My reason was to pay for school.
Anyway, Groups like these, that do these kinds of things are amazing, you have no idea what people that serve are going through daily unless you've done it, and these gestures help a lot. I just wish people cared about the vets more than 2 times a year... there are thousands of homeless vets etc etc.. but that's another conversation. More power to em
"The Society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools."

No, he was right the first time. It doesn't matter why our country has chosen to go to war, what matters is we have the 1% of Americans who put their lives on the line to ensure we all stay free. Every man and woman who had died in war since the Revolutionary War has contributed to us remaining free in some way. We don't pick and choose who gets honored on Memorial Day. Whether or not these wars are just today is irrelevant when it comes to honoring those who answer the call and paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Not that I would watch that.. but I would find it funny.
Anyway.. great cause, Support them 100%.

That person is going to make a lot of service members happy
If donating some money can in any way help those currently serving, I'm all in!
