I always wonder if maybe the devs are wanting an out from finishing the project but still want the cred for working on it. So they make the announcement fully knowing Nintendo will come down on them which will then alleviate them from having to complete the project.

In a row?

It'll probably be like anytime someone decides to outsource work to a less skilled worker. You'll either end up with an inferior product or you'll have to scrap what you got and redo it at the cost of more time and a higher price thus completely negating the whole reason for outsourcing in the first place. So many people making these decisions can't see past the next quarter on the graph.

I'm no scientist, but I don't really know how you can have a study of a psychoactive drug and the participants not be able to guess if they had the drug or the placebo.

I really hope we can eventually get to doing studies in the differences between consumption methods. I would really like to know how much removing combustion from the equation changes things and if there is much of a difference in vaping (dry herb or concentrates) vs edibles has on the body.

edit: fixed a typo.

"...their useless proprietary launcher." Steam is by far the least useless launcher out there. Steam has so many incredibly useful features such as remote play together, community controller layouts, the workshop, cloud saves, family library sharing, etc. Not to mention that they continue to keep adding new features that no other launcher is even close to having such as the new game recording feature that is currently in beta.

Sure, Valve charge a pretty decent amount to game developers for the sale of a game, but they provide a load of features in exchange.

Oh we know why it was done, it was done for control.

Pretty interesting that 4.2% of the world's population generates 25% of the world's GDP. Looking only at the numbers, it's pretty cool, but when you look at the reality of it, it becomes a lot more messy.

Always has been.

You know what I miss? I miss StumbleUpon, it turned up so many cool websites back in the early 2000's and actually seemed to be good at recommending sites based on categories you subscribed to. I may have been a bit of a power user as I ended up on the top stumblers list one or two times. Those were definitely some of the good days of the Internet.

So we're going to make the company's they sold the data to destroy it, right?

Sometimes views on things change and maybe some picture or other content you posted now makes you a target in some way that it didn't before. You don't always know how things will change in the future and adding such a highly expected piece of functionality like deleting something you uploaded should probably be more highly prioritized.
