Are those actually considered lettuces, though? It’s most likely a cultural thing but none of those are lettuces over here. As in, calling them lettuce would be as far fetched as calling spinach lettuce.

Orphan crushing machine

👋

Another fun fact about plant naming conventions: all lettuces* are the same species

*except wild lettuce but nobody really considers that a lettuce. Still, I guess it would be more correct to say all of the food lettuces are the same species.

Irrelevant side quest that I went on while double checking this: DuckDuckGo now forwards some search queries to their chatGPT wrapper, which prompted (pun intended) the following interaction:

Yes. Even accounting for those idiots, car drivers still break more traffic laws. And it’s exponentially more dangerous when they do. This is what the article is getting at.

Yay. An argument from character. What did the head developer of Wolfire did that hurts its credibility more than… checks notes running an illegal casino for minors?

Yes. This is exactly what I mean when I say “you’re spreading misinformation” in response to all the “iTs OnLy AbOuT tHe KeYs” comments. Kudos for actually informing yourself before butting into a discussion.

They wording is specifically outlined on the lawsuit along with how it impacts competition. Read the damn thing.

G2A and the likes don’t count. I’ve also taken advantage of the poor economy of the 3rd world to buy cheaper games. You wouldn’t ask a watch store why doesn’t Rolex force the shady guy in an alley to offer the same prices they do.

Is that supposed to mean something?

Bye.

Sorry that my mean words hurt you more than Valve abusing you.

Your search turned up nothing because you searched for nothing. Steam Keys are irrelevant here, you only keep bringing them up to derail the discussion to a greyer area where you can better defend your beloved corporate overlord. This was always about the price veto policy. Very telling how you flat out refuse to even address anything regarding that topic. Grow up.

No, it’s not. That’s an entirely different policy that you keep bringing up for no reason. That policy is also anti-consumer bullshit but I digress. What I’m referring to is the following shady wording:

Initial pricing as well as proposed pricing adjustments will be reviewed by Valve

I hope so but they’re already abusing cliffhangers so they’re not that far off from just completely stalling the narrative on every chapter except the last one.

I know you didn’t google anything or you would have said “nothing I found substantiates your point” instead of “these specific two articles don’t say what you said”.

But let’s assume you’re not lying and you did look up the situation. What’s your claim then? That Steam has no price veto policy or that they don’t abuse it? Because one is wrong and the other is incredibly naive. Talk about taking unfounded claims at face value.

Also, why do you keep bringing up Steam Keys? That has nothing to do with anything. Focus.

No, I think you deserve to be insulted because you are talking out of your ass about something you didn’t read. Again, this is about the price veto policy. This is not about Steam Keys (here’s me hoping italics help with your dyslexia).

And yeah, I thought you meant runescape on the EGS not on their site. It doesn’t matter because it has zero bearing on the discussion, I only addressed it because you didn’t read the thing you’re talking about.

It’s not safe from The Walking Deadification, though. And I’m sad to say, it seems like it’s already happening.

Ah, the classic spoon-feed me the answer or it doesn’t count as a source. Learn to use the internet, you’re not a child.

Again, this is not about Steam Keys, it’s about Steam using shady contracts to bully developers into price parity on completely unrelated stores. Yes, runescape is cheaper on Epic, the incredibly broad nature of these rules that allows for selective wishy-washy enforcing is also part of the lawsuit.

If you see something I am missing from the lawsuit please let me know, preferably without the hostility if you can manage.

The whole thing because you didn’t read it and, given that you keep bringing up Steam Keys, which is not what we’re talking about, I’m skeptical that you can read at all.
