Private companies can be dicks. Public companies can and will be sued by their shareholders if they aren’t big enough dicks.
I’m not disagreeing, but can anyone really be surprised? IP theft is Chinese policy 101.
It’s not that they can’t still be profit driven, it’s that they can’t be sued by investors for not being ruthlessly profit driven. Private just means that they have the choice at all
Why would they design it to be any better if you’re still willing to pay for it?
If only there were people desperate for a better life here, alive now, perhaps in a neighboring country or even entire other continent bordering the states.
Op sounds less surprised more disappointed.
the Malvinas were colonized for resources
What resources do the Falklands have exactly? Fucking fish?
It was a convenient and well situated naval base historically, and now is perfectly able to declare independence if the population so wishes -the falklands just, shockingly, overall benefit from being a part of a larger and richer national entity.
Essequibo was disputed in colonial times, with the dispute being settled by an international tribunal. First it was about gold, now it’s about oil.
The epic games store user experience is awful. Exclusives are awful. I have zero reason to ever use it except for if I’d been taking advantage of the countless free games they’ve been giving away.
Steam offers a service, hosting downloads and all the backend for friends/multiplayer connectivity/etc isn’t free. If you’re big enough to not need that(minecraft), good for you! Otherwise, it’s clearly difficult to make a launcher/game platform that doesn’t suck ass(uplay/origin/etc) - sorry that steam is just better than any alternative right now.

My reddit account has just shy of 100k comment karma and less than 2k link karma, and I still got the message.
I marked it as spam for “unsolicited messaging” lmao
Mind explaining to me why a vending machine needs to know the demographics of its users?
We’re just ignoring that a key part of taiwanese defense planning is self destructing the chip plants in the event of an invasion?
So we glass the governor’s private residence and finish what reconstruction failed to do a century ago. The armed and “well regulated” militia is on the highest copium possible thinking an ar-15 is anything the government fears.
Right, tell me more about how trump would’ve been better…
Certain departments specifically have IQ tests, in order to ensure you aren’t smart enough to easily get a better job elsewhere.
Re the second part: this works differently in delaware, where over half of all fortune 500 companies were incorporated.
Willfully ignoring the minor detail about ford being sued to stop enriching the lives of their workers says enough about how productive this conversation’s going to be.
“The best interest of the business” is far too lenient in its wording. Some of the shareholder derivative lawsuits out there are fucking wild.
Simple things such as “paying your workers too much”, “acting with too much emphasis on morality over capital gains”, it all does have to come back to shareholder profits, ever since Dodge Vs. Ford.
