The war crime is when Hamas and Hezbollah fire rockets indiscriminately into Israel to kill innocent civilians.

Any and all means are and will always be justified to prevent that.

The "legal way to wage war" is only relevant when you are waging war against an army. Hezbollah is not an army, it's a terrorist group. It attacks civilians. It doesn't wear uniforms. It ignores the laws of war.

It isn't overcharging on Mobile either IMO but the difference is pretty obvious: there is only one way to get your app onto an iPhone or an Android and that's through those stores.

PCs are an open platform. It is very different.

>its a for-profit company that has tons of profit. I am not saying 15% is OK or X% is OK, but 30% is too much in 2025.

And you base this on what? Nothing. It is a privately held company and you don't have access to its books.

Steam is not a natural monopoly.

Amazon sold products at a loss for years in order to capture market share, then raised prices. That is blatant abuse of market power

"Monopoly" is a distraction. The issue is abuse of market power. Having market power is fine. You can't punish people for being successful.

Steam doesn't abuse being successful to lock out competitors. You can sell products sold through Steam via other platforms too. You can sell outside of Steam and give your customers Steam keys for the game. You can install Steam on different platforms alongside other stores and programs.

Nothing Steam does makes it harder for consumers to buy games from Valve's competitors. That's what matters, not whether Steam is very successful.

Indie game development largely owes its existence to Steam. I know I would spend a lot less on indie games if I had to buy them from their own websites or, god forbid, through an awful laggy "app store" run by Ubisoft or Microsoft.

In one quote they used glossy to describe it. How does that mean they said that glossiness made it better?

The other quote is just a list of ways in which the screen is better.

It is YOU that is conflating these and saying that this list of improvements is down to glossiness, not Apple.

It is well written and that makes you think it was written by AI? AI doesn't write as well as that anyway.

I'm talking about the user interface, not how difficult it to click a button to do basic actions.

VS is incredibly cluttered. Too many buttons, cryptic icons and entirely unclear how to do things in the options.

I'm not comparing it to cc but to be fair that is actually well documented and hasn't changed its user interface in decades.

The game isn't balanced at all. Are you playing the modern version or something? I'm talking about D&D which was always traditionally a roleplaying game and not a rollplaying game.
