It wasn’t for a long time. That was also a very controversial decision (albeit I think it was necessary).

The developer is a cash hungry idiot, with no intention to ever listen to the community.

The community is great, battles intense, and the skill ceiling sky high. Sailing mechanisms second to none.

There’s a lot more ships than the DLC ships. But yes, it’s almost inevitable you will end up buying a couple of them, because the DLCs let you spawn a ship for free every day.

I stopped playing when the Dev decided to split the already low-populated PvP server into two separate instances, which is currently being reversed (to noones surprise).

No. Marathon has strong marketing.

That question is so broad it cannot be answered.

There’s a myriad of games which are or have been wildly popular (e.g. Mario, CS, GTA, WoW, Minecraft, Fortnite)

There’s games which pushed the borders to new limits (e.g. Tetris, Doom, WoW, VR Chat)

And there’s games which warped the industry or their players (e.g. mobile games, micro transactions, loot boxes)

No shit. If you artificially limit your customer base… and then open up.

French electricity leaves the chat in summer when their plants need to be shut down because the rivers are too warm or don’t carry enough water in the first place. And that’s nothing to say what they will do in the next decade years when a good portion of their reactors should be commissioned out.

Thank you so much for the comprehensive explanation,includong the edit.

Coincidentally I discovered kwriteconfig by myself yesterday - but not the interaction with qdbus.

Thanks. I’ll have a look later, and will try to understand.

Scalability is not viability.

My impression came from headlines like this:

Tech moguls Altman, Bezos and Zuckerberg donate to Trump’s inauguration fund

I didn’t follow these donation news too closely, but from the headlines it always sounded like they do it personally!? Maybe Trump makes a point out of it that it comes from them personally? Would make them personally attached to him.

That’s the

your body thinks whatever is in your bowels is not safe

part.

“Accidentally” is the new “through incompetence”
