Duped implies they were deceived by Trump's intentions. They weren't duped, they knew exactly what they were getting when they voted that douchebag in.

They just thought it wouldn't impact them.

I know Valve would never do this...

Surely if the items hold no real-world value, putting it on hiatus for an indefinite amount of time would be the answer. The casinos which depend on Valve can't really sue the loss of the feature, as it's always in Valve's purview to remove it at any point from the game & platform.

If they made it a limited time feature in CSGO in a year, they would still achieve the "stickiness".

It's never accidental...

You click a link in an MS app and it launches Edge regardless of the default browser setting, then plays it off as a "feature".

Every. Fucking. Time.

This an American thing? This is exactly what happens in the UK.

Because since 2016 they've learnt there is zero consequences for such actions. In fact, even when there is bad publicity, their fan base is more like a cult following and supports them more.

All the social media engineering they did REALLY dug deep with the impressionables.

As a Non-American, the fact its a close race a fucking bonkers. You guys need to get your shit together.

IPv4 isn't depreciated, it's exhausted. It's still a key cornerstone of our current internet today.

We still have "modern" hardware being deployed with piss-poor IPv6 support (if any at all). Until that gets fixed, adoption rates will continue to be low. Adding warnings will only result in annoying people, not driving for improvement.

Not the monopolies they hold over the tech industry.

Or the fact they simultaneously hold more wealth than a small country, yet pay miniscule amounts of tax.

Or the detriment to society they influence, both directly and indirectly.

Or the fact they're intrusive ways to scrape our lives, and selling that data to thousands of "partners".

No no... Apparently it's jealousy that's driving the EU, rather than making them accountable.

Why benefit society when you can just fuck it over whilst profiting from short term gains.

God I hate how this planet functions. Tax the fucking rich already.

This, among other shitty behaviour, is why I avoid Amazon now. It's just a horrible shopping experience.
