I’m not suggesting that you should. But if the government that controls a TLD is not trusted, then no site under that TLD should be trusted either.

If you trust the government that controls a TLD, then use the site. If not, proceed with caution.

Good to know. Thanks!

It would also be nice if there were a way to use them anonymously. ChatGPT seems to allow this, but I’m not entirely comfortable with OpenAI.

I’ve been looking forward to this since I found out that it was in development. The original game was great. Can’t wait for a modern remake.

How many people contributed to the Kickstarter based on this promise? Will they receive a refund?
