Ubisoft have removed Assassins Creed: Liberation HD from steam.
Even if you BOUGHT IT (and it was 75% off just a few days ago) you cannot play it.
You cannot download it.
You cannot access it even if you did download it.

Do I spend 3 weeks making an original video, playing a game, analysing it, scripting, re-scripting, recording, editing, uploading and hoping the video does well.
Or, do i react to 100 videos other people have made, upload the reactions, and make roughly 100x more money...

She was an extremely kind, fair woman. She taught me a great deal about how to be a decent human.
No photos exist of her, as she hated having photos taken, so i can't share a picture, but who she was continues in who she raised.

There are people in my DM's, saying i've offended them, by daring to think a player with 1600 hours in a game is in ANY WAY equal to them with, with over 3000+, and I need to understand that calling 1600 hours 'actually a lot' is belittling their actual in game time.
