It sounds like Tim Sweeney is making decisions motivated by money, not necessarily out of childishness. I think there's a difference. I probably agree that they're shitty decisions for consumers, but it's pretty clear what his motives are.

Also, Sam Lake is not the CEO of Remedy. I had to go look it up. It's someone named Tero Virtala who I've never heard of.

Epic paid them a bunch of money for the exclusivity. Money they needed to produce the game. Remedy needs the money upfront. And Epic takes less of a cut than Steam.

I feel like you're mad at the wrong people?

Confusingly, Mexico's official name is Estados Unidos Mexicanos. You could accurately describe a Mexican as Estadounidense, if you wanted to be a pedant.

A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation.

I think it highlights the money-grubbing absurdity of Formula 1 that Zandvoort is going to be allowed to drop off the calendar while Max is still racing.

Think about how much they must be charging tracks to host events for it not to be worth it to host a home race for a driver with one of the most rabid fanbases I've ever seen.

This is right next to Central Park. He could ride his bike (or his e-bike) through what is widely considered one of the most beautiful urban parks in the world without having to worry about cars or red lights.

The subway is also fine. It's by no means a public toilet on rails. The platforms are a bit grungy, but inside the cars it's comparable to London or Paris.

In addition to the subway, there are no less than 4 bus routes along Madison & 5th Avenues.
