If Elon musk got cancer and spent 5 years fighting it before succumbing to it people would claim that it’s mysterious circumstances.

I agree with a lot of what you said. I’m pretty sure though that I read that the level cap was in place because after level 13 wizards gain access to level 6 spells, many of which would either be impossible to program properly or, if they worked as intended, would break the game.
You’re definitely right that you picked apart their argument because ackshually there will always be a richest person. But clearly the sentiment is that someone shouldn’t get excessive wealth past their threshold.
How do we define excessive wealth and how do we limit it? Well there are lots and lots of proposals I would suggest reading up on some (you can Google that question to get 10 op eds that suggest 20 different solutions). I wouldn’t mind defining it as a certain percentage higher than the median wealth of the country. It would be funny to give Gabe Newell a “you won capitalism” trophy and taking excess wealth he gains.
As for motivation. It’s a much murkier subject than you imply. In an economy where the state takes every penny of a successful business’s wealth, yeah it makes sense that there’s no motivation to make a successful business. But if one could still get rich off of running a business (just not god-tier level wealth) I’m sure there would be plenty of motivation. And hell, if we give them prestige like we do now there’s tons of people who do what they do just for the fame with no profit. There’s tons of evidence that people aren’t purely motivated by the infinite profit of business people all over the world work their asses off in jobs they enjoy or respect that will never pay them Gabe Newell bucks.
I don’t use piped cause I’m an accelerationist.
Yummy yummy germs in my tummy
I think “great” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

Valve is probably ignoring TF2 so that fans switch to deadlock which is tf2-overwatch-dota2 adjacent.
Someone pointed out in another thread that it would make a lot of sense that this attack was for clout/reputation on the darkweb as a high profile advertisement for their DDOS business.

I would bet it’s more like “gaming has expanded to a larger market”. Gamers who were willing to fiddle with computers and online gaming, hell, up till the late 2000s are probably also the same type of people who are willing to be patient and fiddle with a complex game and learn where the fun is. Now playing a game is easy as 1,2,3 no matter where you get it, I’m not talking down on anyone, and I don’t care if that’s where the AAA trend is going, just that when the access gets easier the group expands to more and more casual audiences.
Also, console games have always been way more “casual” as those markets expand gamers kind of defacto have a larger preference for casual games.
Unironically my favorite TNG episode.
That is a hilariously bad reading of what this meme is about.
And do you eat that spaghetti out of a bool?
In France does this scene have him saying “omelette with cheese”?
If I recall, Tron was almost entirely practical effects despite its premise.
You could always be the star of another movie with a 40 year old protagonist. The 40 Year Old Virgin
“they” lol.
It’s not like Mr. Corporation said “Cleatus! reduce the colors needed to print this sticker! That’s what’s going to make us a profit for this quarter!” Instead, Cleatus and his logo team are incentivized to cut as much cost as they can because they get a bonus every quarter based on how much money they save the company. So someone on his team whose expertise is in label manufacturing for the company pointed out that they could save a fraction of a penny per sticker by reducing the amount and variety of ink it takes to produce the sticker.
That and/or someone in advertising has decided that now, statistically, is a good time to rebrand, and what I said above in combination with the current trend of minimalism means that this new logo fits all the criteria while saving money.
I think the cost saving on color printing like someone mentioned elsewhere makes a lot of sense.
Idk what you mean, those all seem like pretty major spoilers.
