  • If you believe the game to be malware you should not play it. Even if it doesn't have a kernel-level anticheat.

    A binary on Windows can do pretty much whatever it wants.

  • Everything bad about LoL is it being a MOBA. I think you can't prevent toxicity in a MOBA.

    In a team with randoms, if you start losing you're stuck in an unfun game where you get crushed by the ennemi for half an hour.

    What's not to love?

  • We're not talking about the dumb parental controls from the 90's or 2000's and run on Windows, we're talking about smartphone OSes (iOS and Android) that are locked down to start with.

  • It doesn't matter if the kid is smart and determined, parental controls can't be circumvented.

    Unless the parent is stupid enough to leave their phones unlocked or lax enough to unblock the phone every time the kid asks for it.

  • The same could be said of iPhone apps on iPad but Apple still forces you to make specific dev for the iPad.

  • Singapour is also a country reduced to a city, so that certainly makes transportation easier. The US is on the opposite of the spectrum.

  • We don't have per message charge in France either but people still use WhatsApp or Signal because you can't have groups in SMS.

  • The soda can crushing to "crush the competition" is so cringe... I don't know maybe that talks to sales people.

    • Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us?

    Jump

  • I know it can happen, but that still makes a difference between public and private companies. That's one risk less.

    Especially for Valve which is a very desirable company for their position as de facto PC games online store.

  • The difference is that a hostile takeover can't happen.

    Unless the founder still owns a majority of the shares, you can take control of a public company without needing the consent of the board (and CEO, founder, etc)

  • That's the market capitalization so the definition is pretty clear

    • Netflix might add in-app purchases and ads to its games no one plays

  • Mobile games makes no sense for Netflix. They might as well sell donuts.

    The only gaming service that would make sense for Netflix is game streaming. Like Luna or Xbox Cloud gaming.

  • Apparently they only pay the difference to 48k for the missing items.

    Meaning they're getting fleeced continually.

    They might not be poor, but they could be middle class sinking all their savings and getting credit to fuel their addiction.

  • The difference with in-game spending is that they use all the same shady techniques as casinos to exploit those people.

    You don't see sneakers shops offering time limited loot boxes for a chance to obtain limited edition sneakers, they also don't show you a big grid of their catalog with holes for the sneakers you don't own. "Just buy those 2 pairs to complete the collection of running sneakers!"
