Obvious advertisement is obvious. KSP2 is universally regarded as an unmitigated disaster. We are at 3 years after the original release date (for the full game) and all that has been released is a fundamentally broken "Early Access&quo

You cite yet another article which you clearly don't understand, and whose authors have questionable understanding themselves. This article cites CVEs of a certain type, which were especially popular in the 2021 timeframe. These CVEs d
