The goal of this proposal is to advance a superset of C++ with a rigorously safe subset.

The subset is of the proposed syntax super set. Reason being because that the super set also contains explicitly unsafe syntax similar to rust.

Binary Large OBject

Basically any binary file, often objected to in open source repos because of the lack of source and 'openness'. See also the recent xz backdoor.

IIRC the reason for this is because synthetic vanilla flavour was one of the first to be produced, so while actual vanilla is still quite valuable, it became the go-to 'default' flavour.

It also doesn't run off battery power, hardly apples to apples.

Presumably it will come back as some free-to-play, live-service microtransaction-filled nightmare that can be supported by a few whales and eventually make up the cost

They should gather that before they set the price. Once the box office doors open, increasing the price is price gouging plain and simple.

I disagree with this whole 'market price' thing because as a consumer you don't have constant opportunity to buy. You get one slot where you are are the front of the queue, and if you don't like the price then tough. It essentially just rewards those who got to the front sooner, and punishes later joiners.

Nobody is attacking your free choice, they're literally trying to give you another option. That's what free choice is all about.

If you are making an informed decision to remain with windows as it gets worse and worse, then that is up to you, but don't come at people for trying to offer you an alternative just because you've made that decision.

Bit weird to be so angry about this. The commenter is not 'basically just another marketer' because they have nothing (financial or otherwise) to gain from others using linux. They genuinely believe it is a better product and it is in your interests to use it.

Direct your anger at Microsoft if you feel as though you are being forced to do anything, they the ones choosing to enshitify Windows, and removing it as a viable option.

Sorry

Making a platform that was simply a copy of all of Steam's features would certainly take a lot of time. That's why to break into the space a new platform would need to actually innovate a killer feature that brings early adopters to it even without having all the bells and whistles Steam has. Then the user base can and will grow as you fill in the gaps so the 'sacrifice' of using your platform is lessened.

All exclusive games do is build resentment in your customers at being forced to use an inferior product.
