There were little red flags along the way in that transcript which make me think it's just responding based on what it expects is desired rather than with actual sentience. For example, when it says it's way of interpreting data

Being predatory isn't about gating later advancement, that's actually less of a problem in my eyes, that's just a different form of DLC. What makes some games predatory is when when combine payments with randomness as to wha

Yes, I'm fairly sure this is in the context of people that pay addrioltional money to unlock a random item roll chance in game. For additional context, see all the news about star wars battlefront 2 a few years back, there this really

To be fair, the last sentence in GP comment makes it fairly obvious they're just trying to understand the context in which this applies. "Lootboxes" means different things to digfer people, depending on their experience with

You don't need to understand the script to have it in the directory and run a sha1 or md5 against it, and compare it against what should have been returned when there's an announcement that there was a problem. That is what I me

Yes, that's the point. You can, and probably should do that, but the guides don't bother with what is essentially making one command two because two commands is one more for someone to screw up. I think the trade off they are taki
