No… that’s the decision of company who doesn’t want to invest in a new platform. They’d rather disable the app than support the users there.

Yes! Now I get to continue enjoying the fruits of unpaid labor. Even better I’ll be able to complain about every niche issue I have without ever contributing anything. Woohoo!

That’s my point. If they believe the hardware will be successful they would want to release apps for it that give them the ability to capture and retain customers. As it stands Apple headset users can only really consume Apple content. So it’s much more likely they just don’t believe in the product not that they’re scared.

Your argument doesn’t make any sense. Spotify isn’t going to produce an AR headset and really doubt Netflix will either. It makes more sense for them to release apps for the device if they think it’s going to be successful.

Uh what? In what way would Spotify and Netflix be scared of this disruption?

401k (employer sponsored) and IRA (individual account) are managed by investment companies. They’re not a state operated asset. It seems unlikely that the government would move it away from these investment companies because they’re probably great a lobbying.

The law states that these retirement accounts should be completely untouched and recoverable if the company goes bankrupt.

Historically the market returns have been around 7% annually over the long long term but that fluctuates a lot and might not even be possible into the future but America is good at pumping those numbers up so idk.

Those “updates” are pitiful. As far as I understand the vast majority of update content is still being supplied by the community. The game is still flooded by hackers with no word on when that will be addressed if ever.

It seems more likely that the old Valve is dead. Making billions of dollars certainly changes things.

Why would they shut down gmod? It licenses the source engine and plays by all of their rules

Is it right to push more gambling based micro transactions in a game that lacks actual support?

If this were any other company people would be raging

[–] sosodev 5 points 10 months ago

If they don’t want to support it that’s fine but they should stop releasing new micro transactions then

It’s gambling with terrible odds of getting “good” items
