The US system mostly works for a lot of people. There’s not a lot of people willing to risk things getting worse for them so 10-15% of people get something better.
There’s also massive doctor shortage issues that will only get worse with healthcare reform. Even if cost wasn’t an issue, there wouldn’t really be access.
Halo CE is definitely a but dated now, but 2 is one of the best campaigns even still. I’m not sure it can be overrated though. 3\odst is some of the best multiplayer experience there was before the series was infected with CoD.
Free multiplayer is a pretty good selling point either way.
A $900 price tag would make it cheaper than a ps5 pro after 2 years due to needing ps+. It’s likely very attractive vs a next gen console with tiny library as well.
I’ve played through everything with cheats, and the last missions of the expansion were crazy with effectively immortal heroes.
8 wouldn’t say it’s hands off, it’s just indirect. Babysitting wizards or the warrior that decided to fight the world is a big part of the game.
This is still a fun game to play, I’ve had several copies over the years. The sequel is absolute garbage unfortunately. It plays more like sim city than an RTS. There’s a good balance of scenarios to play, and many are quite fun. There are several very difficult end game scenarios I’ve never managed to beat.
Congress gave the president the power to wage an unlimited amount of war so long as troops are removed by the 90 day mark. Even then if troops are gone before the court rules, it doesn’t matter either, as was ruled under Clinton.
I see said the blind man, as he picked up the hammer and saw.
I doubt it. Wow is still a massive cash cow. The other franchises also haven’t been mined of all potential value either.
For food safety standards probably. For an otherwise healthy person it’s probably good enough.
You can sell keys, but it’s still part of the steam ecosystem, so you can’t sell in game purchases without using steam as the processor.
It’s still the steam ecosystem when you sell steam keys. Why should a game be able to use steam to distribute their game that they sell for a free or reduced price then sell micro transactions without paying steam? If you don’t want to pay steam a cut don’t use their store or distribution.
By what definition is the 30% cut high? It’s the same percentage for Apple, Google, and Steam. Brick and mortar is generally around 50%. Amazon is a large range, but 30% is roughly average or even low. eBay charges less, but doesn’t do anything other than facilitate the transaction. Epic charges less to small developers, but that’s also mostly marketing.
It’s not about the epic store being a success. It’s about getting fortnite on steam with little to no fees being paid to steam. Just like the lawsuit against apple.
I think we need more of everything else (except Linux and Star Trek) rather than less politics.
Department of feeding and testing kids.
At a minimum it should be popular enough to be a good reference machine for indie and AA developers to ensure good performance.
There’s plenty of games that you could say the same about that didn’t get the traction. It’s still a hit based industry. It’s not a knock against the game, it’s a reality of the industry.
The Euro has a few problems that keep it from being a reserve currency. A big one is that it’s not a centralized currency, since each EU member has their own fiscal policy. This creates a lot of risk with limited upside.
Europe also doesn’t make enough stuff at the international level to need to get lots of Euros. Europe also doesn’t seem culturally interested in being a global reserve and is more content being regional.
