    They're not pulling it due to seizures, they're pulling it due to CDPR offer refunds, when the Sony policy is explicitly no-refunds if you have already played the game.

    The major underappreciated factor for this release is the impact of COVID lockdowns - particularly enforced WFH - on the final development of this title. For me this is the single …

    It would be more effective to just regulate the maximum % commission that these platforms are allowed to charge. Set it at 5% for developers located in the EU, and be done with reg…

    We can't wait decades for that process to play out. The environment doesn't have the time. Offer young poor men with one or zero children a vasectomy: and give them a bicycle, a sh…

    The solution is even simpler than that: encourage poor people to have one or zero children. Cash handouts to encourage poor men to receive vasectomies for example.

    Then why are they not massively ramping up ICU capacity? Surely the 'cost' of doing that is less than the 'cost' of shutting down huge sections of society? Why don't we have the sa…

    With the core factor being that there are more people than the water supplies can support. The solution here is a one-child or no-child policy, just as in China.

    No, but with the 15% commission tier for <$1m companies, you can expect an Indie renaissance.

    People should be able to go out on their own terms, instead of deteriorating in an aged care centre. It should be completely legal for those aged 80 and over, for example, to seek …

    Failing the implantation of zygotes, we could just allow a free market for sperm. Why shouldn't women or couples be able to pay $10,000 for the DNA of men like Elon Musk?

    We should begin to harvest the eggs and sperm (or zygotes) of the most intelligent and productive people on the planet, and then pay people to bring those children to term and rais…
