All that copyrighted (fair-use) content uploaded to YT attracts a lot of viewers. They are not doing anyone a favor by hosting it.

Yeah. I’m not even sure someone at Unity knows. I’m just guessing that most games bought on Steam for instance wouldn’t be installed on more than 5 unique devices or so. Without DRM (maybe even if it was cracked?) you’d be paying for every

If you ignore the average wages at the time then perhaps. This is a pretty interesting answer (the thing I forgot is that chicken laid significantly less eggs back then than modern ones do): https://www.reddit.com/r/Ask

For many it will be much cheaper than that. Maybe even less than 0.05% (depending on how they track installs)

They could just a get a new CEO… of course they won’t (because almost the whole board is just as deranged) but that could largely fix this issue.

Not sure if that applies here that much. For random peasants the Roman army was as much (if not less) theirs as the those of the barbarians that settled in their lands. Also the barbarians were often somewhat less exploitative and most of t

The Roman empire was unsustainable though since it was built entirely on exploitation. Turns out paying the barbarians to leave you in peace is significantly cheaper than the taxes for the army (by the end almost entirely staffed by the sam

For new games would make a lot of sense. For most already released ones porting would be more of political/personal/etc. statement than something that would make financial sense

isn’t coal more expensive if you take all the negative externalities into account? Specifically increased rates of cancer and other diseases caused by pollution on top of CO2 emission?
