He just has horses he was trying to dump on other people, but positioned it like it was a nice gift.

Essentially, this hinges on whether demanding price parity with other platforms is anticompetitive...

No it's not. This hinges on whether you can sell the generated free Steam keys on other sites for less than the price you have set on Steam.

You can absolutely sell your game on another site for less. You can't sell your game on another site for less and make Steam pick up the infrastructure costs.

Precisely. This is why the EU is harder on these companies.

When you get big enough, there are different rules to ensure that you don't distort a market by killing competition. That is anti-trust, and that is considered a monopoly.

So you don't understand what a monopoly is?

Because you don't have to be the only player in the overall game to be a monopoly, just simply big and powerful enough to be unaffected by the other players which fits Apples description.

Nope. Fuck them, don't give them any market share.

No, unfortunately only on the model I shared. There are comments about WhatsApp being removed from this model so it gets a lower rating.

That's a shame as the 2780 doesn't have WhatsApp.

You mean like this? Nokia 6300, has WhatsApp, apparently has Google Maps, 4G for tethering. Shitty camera is the drawback for me, otherwise it hits all the spots.

Quite a few of the dumb phones have WhatsApp. Although the maps experience would suck.

Personally, since they already have WhatsApp, having a good camera and 5G tether are my two wishlist items. 4G tether is probably fine for the most part but the good camera would be missed.

That with an iPad mini, so that I can still use banking apps and maps but I'd have it in a bag so that it's not simple to access and I could leave it at home would be my ideal.

Also, "not blonde" considering the typical Hollywood stereotypes.

What do you mean I can't install Windows on my new MacBook??? I thought it was only Linux that you had to think about what hardware you were purchasing before whining about incompatibilities.

It died a long time before that.

It's also been shown that people are more likely to impulse purchase when not using cash, and moreso with contactless via a phone or watch.

Trying to tie a decline in cash purchases with tax evasion is impossible.

As an outsider, the whole thing seems insane.

You make it sound like I don't put American cops in the same group as Americans.

The cops are armed because everyone else is armed. Demilitarisation of the police force can only come in when you can have a sensible conversation about your gun ownership.

It's not like owning guns actually protects you from bad cops.

Genuine question, how accurate are Tazers? If the partner was in a headlock, was there any risk of tazering the wrong person while the gum was more accurate?

The real problem here is that Americans just keep arming everyone, so then you have crazies with the guns.

No idea, I got it on a Humble Bundle about 15 years ago.

So true. Although I didn't always use VATS, sometimes I enjoyed the options.

I really enjoyed Osmos back in the day. Like a relaxing Katamari.

I enjoyed Fallout 3. But I agree with the general point. RPG/FPS' rarely gel.
