So on brand when people* try to do their own research and utterly fail at it due to lack of critical thinking and reading comprehension skills.

Per your citation:

Key Takeaways

Civil penalties are imposed for civil offenses and do not involve criminal actions or convictions.

They typically result in monetary fines or mandated actions, unlike criminal penalties that may lead to imprisonment.

Civil penalties focus on compliance, while criminal penalties aim to punish wrongdoing and deter criminal behavior.

The burden of proof for civil cases is a preponderance of evidence, whereas criminal cases require proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Civil penalties do not carry the same stigma or implications as criminal penalties, suc

To put things in perspective, there are laws against speeding, it's a civil offense, you are not considered a criminal, not even a smooth one, in the eyes of the law when you get a speeding ticket. I know it's hard concept to follow.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if people* actually took their own advice and did their own research.

I truly wonder if his caregivers are telling him this.

Only way to keep them somewhat unreasonable. Too ego driven and reactive to not use the shit sandwich approach with these fragile snowflakes.

I'm sure that Schumer and Jefferies will be looking for a nice bipartisanship solution to deny women the right to vote here.

Ah Republicans, always fighting for the little guy.

Or how about get rid of the fucking awful tipping culture that everyone else abandoned because it's fucking stupid?

Okay.

If by soar you mean recovered just above where the first rounds of tariffs were placed then yes.

Motherfuckers, it didn't soar.

It's going to be funny when Americans are eating and drinking crappier versions soy milk, eating tofu, and soy sauce.

Oooooooooh, fuck you Ubisoft.

Well I certainly can.

You're a bunch of weak-assed, scared PANICANS.

I think it very tone deaf with regards to how their trying to up the prices of games, which I think is BS, and increasing the price of accessories, and locking things behind subscriptions.

Very much so a Blizzard, "don't you have phones?" Type of situation.

Yes but loot boxes is gambling and is an addiction and gaming companies know this and exploit this.

"Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!).”

Trump is the leader of the PANICAN party now. Fat, fascist, weak-ass bitch.

I mean isn't Trump's penguin tariff plan to make American peasants instead?

Okay Billy Madison, you're the one that brought up games were 50 dollars twenty years ago and saying profits aren't keeping up with development costs in today's market, but not exactly shocked you didn't seem to make that connection here.

I mearly pointing out that Nintendo made a billion dollars, adjusted for inflation, twenty years ago at 50 dollars and they've made 1.7 billion dollars in 2022 when games were at 60-70 dollar range.

Sure seems like their doing just fine with profits vs increased development costs here, no justification for their variable pricing, extra 10 bucks on top, bullshit outside of corporate greed.

Again, go ahead and provide your facts to justify your position if you can stop your corporate bootlicking for just a moment.

Think I'm done playing chess with a pigeon for tonight.

2001, 664 million in profit, adjusted for inflation in 2022 dollars, 1 billion.

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/84668/nintendo-made-6-billion-net-sales-1-7-profits-in-q322/index.html

2022, 1.7 billion dollars in profit.

Won't someone think of poor Nintendo and their billions of expenses making them just so, so poor!

Won't someone think of the corporations!

But feel free to post your citations supporting your argument if you can take a moment to stop your corporate bootlicking.

Console are making 30 billion a year nowadays and studios are selling so many more copies of games than than thirty years ago and making money hand over fist with scummy microtransactions and fomo tactics.

And while AAA development costs have gone up, but again billions in profits, you're actually going to defend that a cart racing game's development is on par with Baldur's Gate 3 that still sold for 60 bucks or monster Hunter wild for the new average of 70 bucks?

Please, here's my variable rate call of bullshit. This is nothing more than Nintendo being greedy jackasses that know Nintendo fans will pay the extra 10 bucks more and allowing themselves to being gouged along with giving the other greedy publishes permission to do the same and exploit their fans, not that most aren't doing so already, looking at you Rockstar.

As for your, look at all these studios going under, that's not due to prices of games being too low, that's a lot to do with over expansion due to COVID 19, AAA publishes continuing to chase the trend of live services and making dumbass moves, and back to publishers again, over playing their hands with acquisition after acquisition or just publishers being absolute jackasses, like Microsoft and Tango Studios where they praised Hi-Fi Rush being a breakout hit and then closed the studio because it didn't make all the money and they did no marketing and released it on game pass.

Yeah, feel free to think Nintendo just doing gamers a solid here but I'm not variable rate dumb enough to buy it.

The SC is very useful for the fascist who out them there.
