You don't need any AI for that. Current technology is quite sufficient.

There would be no impact if this game was some MMORPG or mostly singleplayer title. Helldivers is PvE game-as-a-service and it's model works best when network effects are strong. Basically a lot of people are playing such games because

Valve is well covered here. Like any other platform they only make payouts to publishers / developers after a big delay so they'll have plenty of Sony's money to cover refunds.

This is a big deal because PSN not even available in all EU countries. E.g there is no PSN in: Andorra, Estonia, Latvia. In Ukraine for example you can only register PSN account if you own PlayStation.

Let's be honest Helldivers 2 is a really good PvE game with AFAIK only cosmetics via microtransactions. It's not some addictive MMORPG to earn money from whales. Whole issue here is not about game at all, but about Sony being play

Sony is one of the most customer-hostile companies in existence. Betting on them not banning you one day for breaking ToS is not an option.

While I have no doubt about the story and these guys being GRU spies... These numbers are laughtably small. You can't imagine amount of corruption in Russia. Any high-ranking policeman in a mid-sized city will own few villas like that.

Good riddance. Any system that limits my options as power user I will not promote. Lots of services only let you enroll single passkey and "hardware attestation" would only make it even bigger lock-in. I like passkeys as idea for

This. Subpar products will always be on market. Problem is that Amazon making a lot of money selling trash and everyone okay with this.

by SXX 3y ago
Most likely same people who buy random trash because it's cheap and "FREE DELIVERY WITH PRIME". People really need to be educated not to spend money on trash.

I mean if a person buys one such book for $1.99, not refunds it and afterwards he continue to buy same low-quality books then might be it wasn't such a bad deal for them? Might be they actually think they extracted enough value from it

by SXX 3y ago
Dont you think problem with spam books is that someone actually buys them? Without enough demand no one would do it.

Money? Apple have a subsidiary and Russia and it's earning App Store fee from payments in Russia, also from selling Apple Music and Apple TV subscriptions and such.

Yes. Google fully left Russia back in May 2022: https://www.techradar.com/news/google-is-officially-leaving-... Apple still continue to operate all services and receive payments inside Russia.
