How is revenue the only metric for "scale"? It sounds like you really don't know what you're talking about if when comparing technical complexity, your metric to go to is how much money something makes and not how many u

I know this sounds trite, but you should give OW2 another go with a group of regular friends. You can setup custom games with super goofy rules or use some of the excellent existing custom game codes, and not even touch the competitive aspe

It's very likely that they just include the new heroes in the existing new hero grind. If you get just OW2 (without having owned OW1), you have to go through around 100 games to unlock the entire roster.

To be super pedantic, you bought a license for the software. That is just the truth us consumers have to deal with, and you can support DRM-free purchases like via GOG to help turn the tide. Also existing owners of OW1 were given additional

It isn't in the parallel they are drawing - right now you have free permission to visit public property and forests and national parks but you still can't cause harm to others or the property (set fires). So while there is persona

You're missing their point. They're using that as an example of how domain knowledge can be important. It's a really naive take to think all/most of the code written for a social media platform will be immediately access

Paid features, possibly. There is Twitter Blue, although I'm very unclear on how widespread it is, how much money it makes (if any), and what the extra features are (other than edit?).

Modern Teslas can store double the daily usage of a US average household. And that's assuming you have literally zero generation at night (hydro / nuclear / geothermal / pumped storage ).

To be very honest, I feel like the car culture in the US gives every household a potential large battery to sustain their house with. In a future where every car is an EV, every American house has two giant batteries, if not more, hooked up

There is no universal solution to "emotionally trick other people into voting for them". If the politicians don't follow up, you vote them out. The problem in the US stems from lack of choice, owing to the entrenched 2 party
