Of all the possible comparisons you could have made to show neocolonialism is bad, you chose the one that saves millions of lives a year.

This is like FOX News trying to show how socialism is bad by listing all the good things it does.

No, my argument is that you got your facts wrong about what happened here and for what purpose.

If you read my comments again, you’ll note I didn’t dispute or argue any notions on how green nuclear energy really is.

From the article:

The measure is an environmental protection requirement to avoid discharging too much hot water into rivers already warming from the heatwave. Power plants critical to the country’s electricity production use river water to cool their reactors, which heats the water that is then released back into the river.

You missed the “too much” and “already warming” parts of this paragraph. I’d rather not know anything about nuclear power than pretend like I do and then get mad when my baseless assumptions get checked.

But go on, tell me more how you care about green energy but not about heating rivers up to high degrees. Or just be honest and say you’re just here to shit on nuclear energy no matter what, and you don’t actually care about ecological impacts.

The reason they did this was to not harm the environment by dumping a ton of hot water into the local rivers.

If they thought they had a good chance of losing that much money, they wouldn’t have made the movie. The news here is more about how their risk calculations were off.

If they were looking at things collectively this way, they wouldn’t be making so many remakes and would be making more original movies.

This movie is the result of the risk analysis of each project, not the risk over a time period with multiple projects.

The only people sending this message are morons who think the NP is a reputable source of news and not conservative agiprop.

Your singleminded quest to hate China as much as possible with this account has caused you to intentionally misinterpret that comment way too much, to the point that I originally thought you didn’t understand English very well.

All the Zelda games have the same jingle for when you get an item.

They did though by patterning with publishers. Forcing physical releases to go through Steam as DRM. Killing the physical pc gaming market.

Not only does this not describe forced retail exclusivity, it’s three different statements that are all false in their own ways. Distribution agreements aren’t exclusivity agreements, Steam only deals in digital copies not physical copies, DRM implementation is optional, and there are no stipulations barring publishers from making or distributing physical copies.

We’ve gone from one incorrect statement about Steam to five.

They also have their Non-Favoured-Nations clause, meaning a game can’t be sold for cheaper off Steam.

You mean the Most-Favoured Nations clause that five people filed a suit over, based on a a Tim Sweeney tweet from 2019? Not only was that suit silly, it doesn’t even make sense as this sort of clause is extremely common in retail and not at all unique to Steam or Valve compared to other storefronts.

Only as they geared up to sell their own consoles.

You also don’t seem to be fully aware of Valve’s contributions to Linux gaming.

Steam didn’t employ forced retail exclusivity.

You also don’t seem to be fully aware of Valve’s contributions to Linux gaming.

But aren’t they headquartered in the US?

Decades ago when things weren’t available for purchase easily in many parts of the world but they still wanted to get their hands on that product.

The same Kojima who did not make a Stadia game.

There were lots of games that had multiple release revisions that fixed bugs. Gran Turismo 2’s original versions couldn’t be completed 100% due to a glitch, a reprint ended up fixing it. If you bought the game on launch, you were stuck with that copy.

This is also why if you go looking for ROMs, you’ll see some games have multiple versions with some differences.

There were also lots of games that were released in buggy, unfinished states. They just don’t get remembered but anyone who grew up gaming in the 90s and early 2000s probably remembers getting some garbage bargain bin games from relatives at Christmas that were complete disasters. The Fifth Element game, for example.
