Revenue. Doesn’t matter what they’re worth.

If you don’t understand why someone is offended you can’t possibly explain why what you did wasn’t acceptable.

Wasn’t this more or less the premise of Chinatown (1974)?

If only it was the jets that are affected!

They’re not getting it wrong. It’s illegal to SELL the guns if he’s indicted. Reread those sources to see the distinction for yourself.

No audio using boost on Android.

The deep end is murdering people with a mental health crisis.

When they come knocking they usually also confiscate your hardware, question and interview your friends and family, etc… Good luck with that defense :)

This is actually a huge joke on the film and television industry. Back when Napster blew up the music industry was in a full panic that their industry would die while film and TV were cozy because the media was too large to mass-pirate compared to music.

The music guys figured it out. Cheap subscriptions with massive catalogues that don’t disappear.

Movie and TV still hasn’t figured this out.

Regarding gambling, it’s not quite so simple. Valve doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Many rich people see what goes on in that ecosystem and they lobby their governments to make it easier for themselves to do even more audacious things. Valve can lead by example instead of opening the door

If you didn’t sample 4chan in that time you missed out on a lot of Internet culture. Not everyone posting on there was. It was really entertaining to watch the shitshow.

Do you think any indie developer has the means to achieve a lower cost to distribution and promotion if they try to sell and support the game themselves?

Valve solves many problems for developers and these problems aren’t imaginary and free to resolve.

Not saying 30% is justified for all games, but if you want a quality title it’s going to cost more than just development. Since the Unity debacle we’ve seen some developers even say openly that costs of promotion and support dwarf costs of development.

This is a good thing. People will need to find alternative sources for news. I don’t see a problem.

USA, USA!

Don’t cook them, make preserves if you can’t manage the amount of food. Or donate it.

Try under water.

This movie was trash tier Bird Box.

I remember reading last year that all the assistant services like Alexa and Siri and Google are costing these companies a fortune with almost zero return. It’s not surprising they’re looking for additional revenue streams.

Awww. I’m so sad for these billionaires.

Yes, they are used, but typically in specialized applications which is why you don’t see them every day.
