The initiative start with the game "the crew", where ubisoft shut down the servers and you can't even play singleplayer. The argument is that your product can be removed without your consent. The counter-argument is that it is not a product, it is a license.
The best possible outcome is that developers be required to keep games playable if they don't want to maintain it anymore,by either updating the game to work offline or providing lan/private server capabilities.
It might just end up being a warning when buying the game like "this is a license, not a product: access may be revoked at any time"
Good stuff, always good to do these small repairs. I had something similar this week too, I found and replaced a rubber ring in a cabinet door, just knowing I spent basically nothing instead of replacing the whole door felt great
You have a lot of faith in people's logic level. Most people read at 6th grade level. There is a person saying "I think this", do you really think everyone in there thought "I'm completely unaware of what the deceased thought"
In 2023, the United States imported about 8.51 million barrels per day (b/d) of petroleum from 86 countries.
In 2023, the United States exported about 10.15 million b/d of petroleum to 173 countries and 3 U.S. territories.
The resulting total net petroleum imports (imports minus exports) were about -1.64 million b/d, which means that the United States was a net petroleum exporter of 1.64 million b/d in 2023.
The US hasn't been a net importer of oil for a long time. The reason there is still oil imports in the US is due to different oil types and refinery configurations, not because total oil production doesn't meet demand.
I'm just doing 3d printed now, specially because I pay a ton on taxes on imported stuff.
For the price of 1 angron from gw, I got from 3d printing: angron, lord of skulls, 12 eightbound, 1 master of execution and 1 rhino (buying from a specialized shop)
Man you have way more faith in adults than I do
