it’s hardly justice.

To quote that great late 20th century philosopher, Terry Pratchett:

There is no justice in the world, there is Just Us. (and many of us are not nice people.)

Yes, he will cash out but I feel it will only be a fraction of what he hoped to get.

He will be comfortably rich but to someone who expected to be obscenely rich, he will see it as a failure.

They are about 2 years too late.

The rise in interest rates and the end of easy VC money has swung the dial back to: Companies actually need to generate profit and not just show user growth to be attractive to investors.

The IPO will not go as spez dreamed for so long.

True but the problem is that they see 1,000,000s of people using the free version and think they are leaving money on the table by not charging and assume 50% will happily pay for it when the conversion rate from free to paid is usually closer to 1% than it is to 50%.

That make sense?

Yes, it does.

It sounds like the discovery of the mechanics was more rewarding for you as making progress and winning.

I‘m probably just fed up with being the oddball all the time.

Don't be. It is the oddballs of the world that are actually the agents of change.

Having read this I would suggest you have a look at Kerbal space program. On the surface it is a fairly simple game but the mechanics of actual space flight are very complex.

A good XKCD about Kerbal.

Giving something away for free then expecting to make people pay for it is always a winning strategy...

I feel this post only applies to the MCU.

Mixing comedy with other genres ruins an othervise good movie.

Sorry but I don't agree.

Comedy is not just cheap one liners and many great movies are a mix of comedy and tragedy or comedy and action or comedy and drama.

I replied to a comment saying one way of putting bog roll on is more hygienic...

People who care this much about dunny paper must not have much else going on .

Here's a tip to ensure your toilet use is hygienic no matter howe the paper is stored: After you take a shit, wipe, then wash your hands

Its about the fact that minecraft isnt as fun as it used to be (to you)

It sounds more like you have changed, rather than minecraft.

That is normal. People's tastes change.

What do you think are currently games that are not focused on children and have great potential?

That is such an open ended question as to be impossible to really answer well.

You have stated you no longer enjoy minecraft but not what you do like playing. So again, quite hard to make a recommendation.

Do you want building sims? Tropico or Cities: Skylines.

Other than that, I have no idea what to recommend.

That patent expired more than a century ago.

Society has moved on.

Calling everything you don't agree with to be "boomers" is also a state of mind.

It is a great way to hand wave away anything you, personally, don't agree with. Which ironically is usually seen as "Boomer behaviour".

HR: No, we need to have the layoffs as we are over budget.

I am very comfortable with never owning a ubisoft game ever again.

You don't have to worry about red eyes giving you away, the dank stench did that first.
