Unity could potentially get squeezed between Godot in the low-end and Unreal in the high-end. I've played around with Godot, and for small, performance-insensitive games, like a Candy Crush clone or indie puzzle platformer, it is a nic

"Nobody reads those" isn't a valid defense. That said, I see a huge problem in adding abusive clauses when you have a monopoly or duopoly in the area. The customer can refuse, but then what? Will they simply not have a phone

No, not really. All they need to know is the source of their traffic and how well it's converting. That source isn't paying for itself? Cut it and divert the budget to one that is.

Maintaining your property is often much more cognitively taxing. Consider a car, for example: you have to keep track of oil changes, water, tires, brakes, taxes, insurance, and the list goes on, each with its own schedule.

I wish there was a law to nationalize a company that was found guilty of gross negligence, to subsequently pay damages and re-sell them in the market. Make shareholders accountable, instead of sending a couple of middle managers to jail and
