Ew email does not sound like the place for cash transactions.

But yeah, most countries these days have instant bank transfers. The US is ancient when it comes to payments, "cashing your payslip" isn't a thing in much of the rest of the world.

Cash is king, we shouldn't be paying MasterCard and VISA for every purchase we make.

Case in point: when the UK left the EU, MC and VISA immediately increased their transaction fees from 0.3% to 1.5%.

I dunno, you can't really levy the blame against everyone. More and more, people are given less choice to buy better quality food over cheap factory produced food. The supermarkets present you with a choice between cheap factory food and slightly more expensive factory food.

The issue is that any lawsuit over DMCA abuse must also involve the platform. However, if plaintiffs sue the platform, the platform will kick them off and they'll lose all future income.

The original comment in the thread stated that this article was commentary from a podcaster and contains no new updates. How is that a lie?

Meta depends on free collection of user data. That data has value, their entire business model relies on not paying users fairly for the value they take.

You can't build a car without paying for the nuts and bolts. We should be paid, not the other way around.

Lol I admit one mistake so that means everything I say is wrong?

You haven't presented any reasoning to challenge my original statement: this article contains commentary by a podcaster and no new updates. All you've done is attack me personally. That's pathetic.

Channel 4 literally filmed them using white phosphorus early on.

I think you're giving him too much credit. He absolutely does understand the medium, he just trash talks it. CDPR wanted to give him a percentage royalty, but he demanded a lump fee up front. Then the game was successful and he had egg on his face. Ever since, he's claimed that the games had nothing to do with the success of the franchise.
