Ok, I’m not entertaining sealions.

You’d have to continue doing that as other person elaborates unnecessarily (so this will be my last one).

Putin can’t beat a single impoverished country, let alone take on EU but if everyone raises their defense spending to 5% they’ll have to buy from American weapons manufacturers, and that’s soon to include snake oil from big tech. 5% target is also good at chipping away at enthusiasm for NATO membership from countries that are fairly safe, like Spain. Trump’s a sleazy businessman, that’s what he’s good at.

If we were to be really concerned for everyone pulling their own weight within current 2% target we should take a look who includes military pensions as their military expenditure, for example.

Valve will never IPO, yes! I don't care *why*.

Wow.

Your requirements are extremely niche, most gamers don’t care about Linux. Maybe they should have an option of a store that doesn’t charge 30% but is Windows only.

Again, it doesn’t matter if Valve got into a monopoly position fair and square. The moment their monopoly is self perpetuating is the moment we no longer are in a free market where quality and price are main considerations for consumers.

I think Nintendo knows Americans fall for false scarcity. It’s quite easy to buy in Europe.

Plenty of explanation for this in this thread already, why waste this guys time too.

No, you can go through my post/comment history and see that those are my long-held beliefs that I support with arguments/facts unlike people I discuss with.

I was doing those dot replies because guy was obviously after the last word and I stopped reading his replies long time ago.

When possible I tell people that we can talk first for a bit and introduce ourselves later. My mind links names to persons, not faces.
