texas has its own so that it doesn't need to meet the regulations of the others

Either the one little Timmy wanted, or the one the clerk tells her is selling fast (whether or not it's selling fast).

Ok; package up Cloudflare, Facebook, or E-Trade and let people host it.

> - Put an expiration date on the storefront and make it clear that your software is not guaranteed to continue working after date X.

This software is not guaranteed beyond 0 Unix time.

> - Have your server source code (stripped down of proprietary stuff) ready for public release at EoL.

This isn't viable, and i would expect anyone on this site to understand that. it's roughly equivalent to saying "just make facebook stripped of proprietary code and ready for the public to run"

> - Allow customers to reverse engineer the binaries and communication protocol after EoL.

This is a reasonable path forward, but likely a non-starter in the US for political reasons. I understand that "stop killing games" is an EU thing.

> - Package dedicated server binaries with the game and allow customers to connect to it via a LAN or direct IP option.

See point 2. This is nonsensical.

i wouldn't use it if you paid me

Juris Doctor. A lawyer.

More fair to say Epic is money pitting from, given discoveries from Epic v Apple and Epic v Google..

Epic v Apple the court decided not to answer the question of whether Apple is a monopoly.

Better to say Apple failed to lose. The court explicitly left open the question as to whether they are a monopoly. They just didn't provide any meaningful injunctions as a result of that case.

Which case is that? Because that's not how the Apple ruling went.

Apple wasn't ruled not a monopoly. It was ruled that Epic failed to bring convincing evidence and arguments.

So yes, Apple could be subject to similar restrictions in the future. Either through another monopoly case, or [imo more likely] regulation.

Apple wasn't ruled not a monopoly. It was ruled that the evidence Epic brought in the case was insufficient to show Apple was a monopoly, and the court would entertain other arguments in the future.

Apple didn't need to do anything, but they didn't "win" that convincingly.

access to money. don't even need to use it.

No need for hindsight. BeOS is still alive. A Haiku for you.

how can a bias machine be used to do something other than provide bias?
