You're talking about the brand that is paywalling the auto drive after saying they never would ?

The size of the pool is of no importance globally. You're still creating the same amount of heat

The only real difference is that the river heat can get higher because it's more localised and, therefore, can cause more trouble along the way.

But from the pov of the ocean ? Rounding error

I see your point. It's evident valve don't have the production power of a Sony (even if they got absolutely destroyed for months for each release) or Nintendo.

I don't know if it's really a "problem" per se. They're a lot smaller as a hardware builder so they can't have the same infrastructures,I don't think the demand would be strong enough. But that certainly makes them an easier target for scalpers

Just like for any product... Give me one awaited product that didn't get recked by scalpers.

Ps5, switch 2, ... Hell even ram...

When you have enough money, scarcity is easily created. What would you want ? To have businesses to have production lines that can handle release volume? What do you do with them after, when the demand is slowing, it's faaaaaaarrrr from free.

That's a really shitty take my friend. Scalpers are people with money and time that are creating scarcity.

They're basically building a temporary monopole to impose stupid price. It should be illegal just like concert ticket reselling is being blocked in a lot of country.

They are shitty people who don't give a flying fuck about anyone else and who would sell their mother's if they could. Soulless husk
