If Aldi only sells apples and Walmart only sells pears, that’s not a free market. That’s two monopolies. Drag doesn’t get a choice who to buy apples OR pears from.

If Aldi starts selling pears too, that’s not a monopoly. That’s customer choice. Drag can choose to shop at Aldi because of their lower prices and better customer service. Drag can vote with drag’s wallet. If Walmart has a deal with the pear farmer not to sell pears to Aldi, that IS a monopoly.

Drag doesn’t want to give any money to Epic. Put the game on GOG, put it on Itch, hell, put it on Origin! That would be great for consumers! A monopoly isn’t.

If they want to be guaranteed to be able to operate, they should join the communist movement. Monopolistic capitalist business practices aren’t the way to go. If we’re having a capitalist market, it had better be a free market, which is to say one with sufficient consumer protections so that customers can make free choices about who to give their money to for a certain product.

If a company makes bad games, they should go out of business and their developers should work for better companies.

Remedy doesn’t need to worry about that, because they make good games.

Oh, so only indie games should be exclusives, then. Not games like Control 2.

There’s some Christian prophecy that says Israel has to be around for the rapture

You’re saying studios like EA don’t pay their programmers unless people buy the game?

Heroic can claim free games on Epic without having to use their slow app?

EDIT: You can! It’s so much faster! Drag had an easier time downloading Heroic and setting it up than just claiming a game on Epic.

Ah yes, Rome, famously no longer a city.

Everyone loved How To Train Your Dragon, yet drag has hardly met any dragon riders! It’s not fair!

If anyone can do it, it’s Valve. But they’re too busy turning Linux into an equal competitor to Windows for gaming. Maybe in 10 years when Linux market share is 30%.

It’s great that Halo Wars doesn’t feature the Chief. Halo shouldn’t the The Master Chief Franchise. It’s so much bigger.

Renewables are far cheaper and can be built faster and if they malfunction, no one is in danger.

No, that’s not true. Solar workers fall off roofs and wind workers get hit on the head with falling turbines at about the same rate that people get cancer from nuclear, per joule generated.

Personally, drag is pick-your-battles-nuclear. That is to say, scientifically it’s a good technology, but fighting a political battle to get nuclear cheap enough to compete with wind and solar is pointless. Advocating wind and solar is much more efficient in terms of political effort spent.

That said, now that solar and wind are cheaper, conservative politicians are finally pushing for nuclear, because 17 more years of building at 4 times the budget means more fossil fuels in the meantime compared with spending those government funds on solar and wind.

Intelligence is usually graded on a normal distribution.

Dumb people deserve to be protected by the law.
