Yeah, I chose $0.50 as an absurdly low assumption, because while the game nominally sells for $15, I don't know anything about costs involved. A quick google search says his net worth is somewhere around 30-45 million dollars, which is about twice what I estimated. Which most people would use as an excuse to sell the game to Microsoft and retire forever, but Eric Barone is too good for that. I just realized I only own the game on mobile and xbox. Reckon I might buy it on PC next paycheck

I never thought about it like that. If he makes an average of just $0.50 per sale after all the storefront fees and taxes and stuff, he would still have enough money to pay himself $200,000 a year for an entire lifetime, just from the sales he's already made. No wonder he's so chill about keeping the game updated for free. What an awesome guy

There's something about that ™ next to the title that makes me want to give it a negative review without ever having played it

Okay, but you don't win lawsuits based on how the law ought to be

Imagine spending 40 billion dollars on one of the most recognizable brands in history, so deeply embedded in the public consciousness that any other company would throw virgins into a volcano for a chance at that level of recognition, just to replace all of that branding with your own little name that everyone has been telling you sounds stupid for the last 25 years

That still doesn't fully erase the data though. It just tells the computer that that space on the drive is available to be overwritten, but the 1s and 0s are still recoverable

Imo there should be options for standard deletion and total deletion. Standard is faster, puts less wear on the drive, and keeps the files potentially recoverable, whole total would make it totally unrecoverable at the expense of taking slightly longer and putting a bit more wear on the drive

@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

So proton will only give users' information to governments if the government calls the user a terrorist. Good thing governments don't just throw that word around willy-nilly!

@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah let's encourage citizens to report their neighbors for every legal offense, this kind of thing has always gone well throughout history

Say, I'm pretty sure I saw you invite a couple folks into your home the other day, and I never saw them come out. Oh would you look at that, the SS is here!

Similarities to fascism aside, this is still an awful idea. Have you ever dealt with automated rule enforcement? It's an awful way to enforce rules. But even if every single report had a human follow up on it, there's also massive, unprecedented privacy issues. You may be totally fine with my insurance company knowing where I am 24/7, but I sure as hell am not. I'm super not okay with a government (which we have) gaining free access to that information for anything they want (which they would). Oh hey, we're back to fascism

Use old.reddit as long as you're able to. Don't even need to log in (at least where I live), you just hit the "I'm 18" button
