I think unity is trying to get in front of a possible boom in Mac and apple gaming. Charge dev $.20 per install so you insure you get a piece of every game install and avoid a confrontation with Apple about app store rates.
Sounds like a nice plan if you are playing a video game with hundreds more attempts before you.
IRL it's "was trying". Now they sure as hell won't.
Like I answered in another comment, this would be wonderful, as this would mean that they are going to crash hard. Better a horrible end than horror without end. I mean, every magnificent era of development started with a frustrating crisis of this kind. So let it go boom, I don't care that much about any of the big tech around. Well, Sun was nice, but it's dead.
If I could be certain this is true, I'd be optimistic.
It would mean (because of some things being more profitable than other) that after long labor pains (involving legal battles and IP laws changing for patents and anti-monopoly laws changing back to working state) these companies were going to die and the better ones were going to take their place.
Obviously not. People considering genocide and other crimes acceptable as long as it's somehow legal are closer to evil and more numerous than religious fanatics.
Second closest thing, maybe. Or third, people sporting combative anti-intellectualism would be the second closest thing.
I don't usually agree with many American leftist talking points, but really what's it with railways being so little used in the USA? When you need scale with regular routes and regular volumes of anything, it's unrivaled.
We humans have goals, as in "satisfaction from winning", or as in "solace from reaching some idea the correct way so it'd likely be true".
Theirs is not to be correct, it's to defeat you, to win, to dominate etc.
A conversation where your counterpart see themselves as your opponent just should end once you see that. Also it would be fair to inform them that this is ape behavior, but sometimes unwise sadly.
Also the approach that an argument as in "opposition to each other" leads to truth is more or less the same thing as dialectics. And dialectics do not have any scientific value (we are not pursuing studies of "scientific communism" here).
There are conversations where the actuality matters, and there are conversations where the criteria matter, and there are also conversations where the dynamic matters. You mixed up this one.
I mean, everybody talking about someone else's rosy worldview or otherwise playing a cynic is usually clueless.
Well, for me mostly not that far - but the only time I was in an alliance close to the top has indeed left some people in my buddy list.
Other times it was mostly me and my IRL friends and their friends and so on in alliances I'd be let into.
But - yeah. For some people it was like real war, with all the logistics and obligatory setup of a second and a third so that your account would never be AFK when a few thousands off troops with catapults are coming for ya. I still don't understand how they'd have the time, with university and school and work.
My sweet memory of an instant messenger not trying to fuck with you (lots of incoming messages were, though, but those were sometimes real people ; I actually know of people who met each other via ICQ contact directory and have a happy marriage ; don't think anything else has come close).
Other than that, it was just a better time. WCIII, Perfect World, WoW, Travian. Forum-based text roleplaying games (LOTR and HP). And ICQ as the way people would communicate, which would transcend interests fading, forums dying etc.
I mean, you say "genocide" as if China is being sanctioned or punished for Xinjiang, and very little pressure would be required to make them stop, or Azerbaijan for Artsakh, and Azerbaijan is a bug to squash, one phone call would be enough, and Turkey itself mostly does all the things it does to pressure concessions, so they are ready to negotiate in every moment.
Ah, and Ukraine supports Azeri genocidal crimes in Artsakh, so fuck them.
Your country, if that's US, doesn't do anything about these. It cooperates with the criminal terrorist states I've mentioned. And yet you have the gall to throw the word "genocide" around about something which is war crimes, yes, and even sometimes acts of genocide, but that would mean that a Ukrainian life is worth more than an Armenian life, and I don't agree. A Ukrainian life is worth more than your life, surely, but not more than an Armenian life.
Now, you can say that yes, these are all genocides much more real about which you don't care, cause your side is of the perpetrators there.
You don't fucking know which things the words you use mean. And since you still dare voice your opinions on real world - blocking me is an important first step at stopping that.
I suspect they are getting second thoughts there about those fallout shelters and how different they are from wow hypersonic missiles and wow radioelectronic warfare and other kinds of wow they considered real.
Really unexpected to see somebody not forgetting this aspect on the Web. Thx
