I'd love to see the source for this "3 friends" statistic, that sounds like a mountain of bullshit.

It's the system that forces most dudes to keep coming up with new ways to make ever higher profit. If they don't, they open the door to competition that would.

No, they can continue to make the same profit and still not open the door for competition. The need for ever-higher profits is driven by investors.

Do you think GOG and Epic Games want Steam

Nobody gives a shit what they want. Monopoly enforcement is about consumers.

Yep, same reason you can't buy anything on Amazon Prime TV either.

There's no need to get offended. Replace MS with MacOS and the point stands.

Thank god for the EU, which forced Apple to back down:

As for canadians/americans, they are in jail.

This isn't the EU, this is the US. Epic Games will be back in the App Store in US next week.

  1. No one was talking about Mac.

  2. XBOX is not a workstation. The only thing you'd want to install on it is games. That's like, the whole point.

It's pretty much all shit. It's just "what flavor of shit would you like today?"

I mean they just replace Google with their own Chinese data-mining services so, no, not cool.

Trains are great but they don't typically run to your local warehouse...

The settings are way too complicated and defaults are not intuitive. Took me forever to figure out how to purge old downloads I hadn't listened to. Constant errors when trying to download. Does not want to play video podcasts as audio-only.
