Have a look at Wanderburg too then (not released yet).

Still the point is you don’t spend money without knowing what you get so it is better. Still predatory, but better

I was so hyped when I saw the trailers, because the visuals and ideas of the story they showcased were exactly my jam. But oh boy, what a dumpster fire the whole movie turned out to be.

Edit: yep, still goosebumps watching the trailer

No. Marathon has strong marketing.

That question is so broad it cannot be answered.

There’s a myriad of games which are or have been wildly popular (e.g. Mario, CS, GTA, WoW, Minecraft, Fortnite)

There’s games which pushed the borders to new limits (e.g. Tetris, Doom, WoW, VR Chat)

And there’s games which warped the industry or their players (e.g. mobile games, micro transactions, loot boxes)

No shit. If you artificially limit your customer base… and then open up.

Thank you so much for the comprehensive explanation,includong the edit.

Coincidentally I discovered kwriteconfig by myself yesterday - but not the interaction with qdbus.

Thanks. I’ll have a look later, and will try to understand.

Scalability is not viability.

I don’t deny the possibility, but that sounds like a lot of foresight which I’m not ready to attribute to Trump or his team. Additionally I don’t think they care about “the people”. The voters served their purpose. They are meaningless to them now. They will continue to produce anger and outrage, and will extract as much money as possible while it’s still possible.

I think it’s a simple money grab. Just not a $25 billion one.

$25 billion, in paper. The value will be down to zero way before he manages to sell off even $1 billion from it. And thats a generous guess. Meme coins don’t retain value.

Making ANY money this way is outrageous, but we sooner solve world peace and world hunger than Trump being able to sell this off for the current paper value.

Not really. Tim Sweeney would sell his grandmother to appear cool / anti-establishment / consumer friendly - while trying everything to establish Epic Store as a monopoly. Once he achieves that, he would lick boots just like the others.

“Accidentally” is the new “through incompetence”
