Honestly, though - “method or mechanic”, do you think palworld is a pretty blatant copy of Pokémon or not? Like, most of it. Not just a single bit.

I missed this - what happened? (Searching now)

Sadly, I think this person is railing against “having more than just white guys featured” (as if that’s forced, when you start making games in new locations around the world) rather than the bland Ubi-style open-world map checklist that you might expect to be the sane complaint.
Fair enough.
Thank you for the response!
Just pointing out, once again, that games sold on the Epic store can be different prices to Steam. “Valve uses their market dominance to force the same price across marketplaces” is a nonsensical, incorrect statement.
That’s because the versions sold on the company site are for ArenaNet keys, not Steam keys.
The rule is only for selling Steam keys.
As has been pointed out by many other people in this thread, this is untrue.
If you are providing a Steam key, it has to be the same price as Steam. Otherwise, you can set whatever price you want (e.g. if you were selling on both Steam and Epic - like Borderlands 3, which frequently had sales on Epic where the price dropped below the Steam price)

It’s even fine to sell your Steam keys at a lower price in another place - as long as you’re planning to have a similar sale on Steam at some similar time.
It’s OK to run a discount for Steam Keys on different stores at different times as long as you plan to give a comparable offer to Steam customers within a reasonable amount of time.
TL;DR: Games sold on Epic could be any price they want. They’re no different to Steam, in general, because that’s what publishers choose.
I haven’t played it in years, how is it doing now in 2024?
How about two drinks, plus a free drink from the airline you’re flying per half hour delayed? Seems more reasonable.
I feel like you may be arguing with someone who is making an Always Sunny reference.
I’m not saying everything in the world has been done, but “what, like Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands?”
Wow, I didn’t realise that was still about! I’m tempted to go check it out again!
Yeah, though a nice thing for those who need it my immediate worry was “well, this may mean companies lean further into tipping because yay tax free” rather than working towards just paying workers.
Humtum.
The only sad thing is that it seems like they’re (still?) only talking about the other side’s policy, rather than backing their own policy based on its strength.
Just “I’m not the other side” (but at least with policy rather than personality)
For what it’s worth, as it’s not clear if you’re already aware, but Al Franken was actually a pretty decent senator for ~9 years.
Jon has stuck his oar into political matters, but not at that level.
I think that this is the logical place to put those opinions - it would make less sense unlinked to the post.
I dislike that it’s been shotgunned at nearly every post I see, regardless of how relevant it might be, and I don’t trust the output to represent the link.
Given there’s no “bad bot” style feedback functionality (that I know of), what else is there to do than block it?
Apologies, I thought I’d seen 60 seconds but since looking I’ve found a bunch of guesses from “every few” to numbers with nothing that looks like a source in headlines.
Going to the source, I found:

Should have searched first, sorry!
Love that quote - will say that, to my eyes, what’s happening here is worse than results being wrong and the summary passing that on - in at least a few examples I’ve seen, the summary has contained information that is related to but the opposite of what was requested, e.g. a list titled “things you should do if bitten by a snake” that contains a list of things you should not do.
Or in the example of pizza glue, that being a great tip… If you want to do product photography of pizza.
Fair enough!
