Ok und jetzt erklären Sie uns doch mal langsam und genau wie das uns, als Steuerzahler, Geld gekostet hat. Die Logik erschließt sich mir nämlich gerade nicht...

Der Tankrabatt hat den Steuerzahler ganze 1,6 Milliarden (!!) Euro gekostet. Zweifelhafter Nutzen, dafür satte Gewinne für die Ölkonzerne. Investitionen für Hitzeschutz oder die Bahn? Angeblich unbezahlbar oder Problem von Ländern und Kommunen. Prioritäten, so wichtig.

Let's check what @Minecraft's EULA says. @Microsoft and @Mojang I think this is your moment to earn some goodwill back and make a statement about this. minecraft.net/en-us/eula

@LumLotus Are they? A typical high school junior would be 16, from what I can tell, so the age would match, what's the contradiction that you see?

Hi Sandy, I hope you’re well. I have appreciated the recent discussions. I do not agree with your framing. Regarding piracy, DOOM is a complicated example because shareware was the model. DOOM’s first episode was designed to be freely copied, passed around, uploaded, installed, and played. That enormous unpaid audience was not the same thing as piracy. It was part of how DOOM reached the world. By the mid-90s, DOOM had something like 20 million shareware installs and more than 2 million paid copies sold. Those 20 million people were not “pirates” by default. A huge number of them were playing the free episode exactly as intended. That doesn’t excuse people pirating the registered game. However, it’s important not to collapse legal shareware distribution, unpaid reach, and actual piracy into one number. I also don’t think piracy is what “gutted” id - id is still around and still making games. Piracy may have cost money, but it wasn’t the reason Quake was hard or why people eventually went different ways. So yes: pay developers. Buy the games you love. Support the people who make them. But history is messier than “pirates killed the companies.” Sometimes the same free distribution that looked like lost sales was also the thing that made the game impossible to ignore.

@GameStalgiaX F*ck pirates, as a man who designed video games from 1988 through 2012. 70-90% of Doom's players pirated it. If not for that we would literally have had so much more for our workspace and upcoming projects - Quake may not have gutted id Software. At least 50% of Age of Empires

Ownership isn't "economically efficient" Yeah and neither is land ownership or free will doesn't mean I'm going to hand it over just because it would make more money for someone else. Bro the tech space has gotten so lame.

you’ll get mad at me for saying this…but cloud gaming is so obviously more economically efficient than physical hardware I think it’s going to be the default soon. your home console / pc is idle 90%+ of the day. meanwhile, data centers targets what, 5%, maybe at worst 10% idle.

@Dread_Sandwich @art_extreme_10 @InsiderGamingIG nah, but then again, I never made such a claim, I merely pointed out that Yotei isn't exactly one of the high budget titles for Sony. That's more titles like Spiderman 2 or Horizon Forbidden West

why exactly are you talking like Ghost of Yotei would be a particularly expensive project? Sucker Punch isn't an especially big development studio and has already built up the whole tech groundworks with Tsushima, which they kept low in cost as well... Yes, some of the mentioned numbers are unconfirmed / probably too high, but using Yotei to argue against them isn't a particularly good choice....
