Right. That's why I said partly false. Perhaps, "not the whole truth" would be better working? By stating the cities vote left and leaving it at that implies they always vote left, when they don't. All I was saying. Thanks.

    I don't know anything about how that stuff works. But considering it's on Steam and has no dedicated servers you choose and it's cross platform would it not have to talk to a lot of different servers simultaneously? Like, I can squad up with my buddies from the UK while I'm in Canada and also have someone on ps5 in the USA. None of them experience lag. Seems like it isn't your normal every day "net code" most other games would have to accomplish

    Final Space, nothing beats it for me. I'll be empty and hollow until Olan releases the graphic novel they're letting him license to finish off the story from season 3 since it was cancelled with one of the time warner mergers.

    Vox Machina and Chernobyl(HBO) were close contenders though.

    I'm well aware revenue and profit arent 1:1. You're "source" is a "Google person says they break even" in 2015. I give you graphs showing revenue growing at almost 4x the rate of users since 2015. Are they making 800% more profit, obviously not. But they sure as hell aren't losing money on YouTube anymore.

    Typed "was google profitable in 2022". Took about 4 seconds.

    Edit: as I'm not sure you'll look at the graphs. I want to point out that since 2015 the "what could they have done to turn a profit" question is answered in the graphs

    Users increased about 225%

    Revenue has increased 700-800%

    Its very profitable.

    You're only talking about one side of the coin. If the corps, owners, "the man", etc. Paid living wages tips wouldn't, in your opinion, "need" to exist. But since you aren't able to grasp the bigger picture I think we're done here. Have yourself a wonderful day.

    They get paid. It's in this thread multiple times from multiple people. There's likely a special place for me in hell, I won't argue that. But I hope you have enough self reflection to realize corporate ball suckers like yourself also have a special place down there with me. Have a great day.
