That's a strange take isn't it? Facebook has like twice the # of daily users as Instagram, and 6x that of Snap...

If people don't like the China example, they can look at New Zealand or Australia, both of which had tiny fractions of our Covid deaths AND experienced less economic decline AND experienced a drop in suicides during the time.

Can confirm! I run a company that has five MUDs, and we have quite a few blind players as well as at least a couple of blind employees. I'm not visually-impaired, but I like knowing that our players who are are "seeing" the same game world in their heads as fully sighted players, or at least seeing the world from an equal perspective.

Nexon, Netmarble, Bandai-Namco are all comparable to or bigger than Ubisoft in terms of revenue I believe.

A number of years ago there was a guy from Korea (I think) coming to the Game Developer's Conference (GDC) in San Jose, but ended up in San Jose, Costa Rica. He was quite distressed.

Random retail investors aren't being scammed in that situation. It's completely different.

Thanks! No, I was Shaitan as a player in Avalon, then Lazarus as a god.

Glad you have such fond memories!

Oof, yeah, relatively low ping is important. Not like FPS important, but still important.

Because botting is basically impossible for us to detect algorithmically (we're a tiny company and don't have the resources to engage in that kind of battle with botters), our line boils down to, "If we come and talk to you and you don't reply, you're not playing the game and that's not allowed."

It's the only standard for botting that works for us.

Fair point, and you're right.
