This is where I referred to UC:
----------------------------
You've been pulling people up about UC and saying "How can you know
this", so lets question the questioner, how can you have these
opinions about the game when you've never played it?
You want to tell people it's full of bugs, or in your experience it
doesn't run or patch then great, go ahead you're talking from first
hand knowledge, but someone came here for some genuine information
about the game and you say all of the above. 
-------------------------------

You'll notice I said that if you wanted to tell people it was full of
bugs then fine, hardly "getting at you", the rest of the post I was
referring to BCM, and more pointedly, to the fact that you readily
offer critical opinions on something you haven't had any experience
of. How the game we still don't know, if it's buggy as fuck then
great, you made the right call, although I never said I expected it
not to be, I said BCM was now "mostly stable".

Isn't this fun? It's like watching Ribo and Dan pick over every
utterance all over again.

Christmas is coming.
