It doesn’t make sense to serialize any other portion because you could just swap that part out and have an ostensibly different firearm.
Grip/frame/chassis is the easiest part to make at home...
Yes, some part needs serialized no that does not mean we make it the easiest part to make yourself
The real problem was always the grip being the serialized part of a firearm...
As long as that's true, firearm regulations are easy to circumvent.
"Fire Control Units" make more sense, but is still just kicking the can down the road. Eventually those would be home made too.
It's like racoon-proofing a trashcan, if you do it step by step, all you're doing is teaching raccoons to break into trash cans. If you start out secure enough, they never learn.
This theory posits that it will force full-priced games to trend downwards, and points to the trajectory of Final Fantasy XVI’s costs on Steam to illustrate that when it budges, it budges further down.
Bro really said that because the cost goes down on Steam (due to not being a monopoly) that means that making PlayStation a monopoly (be getting rid of second hand games) would also make the prices go down?
Steam being digital isn't the relevant part, there'd be nothing wrong with PlayStation being all digital...
If that didn't make it a monopoly
He's logic is predicated on publishers being able to sell Steam keys on their own without paying Steam because it didn't "sell" thru Steam's storefront.
And I'm pretty sure even a "steam box" doesn't lock it to Steam store only.
This article isnt for people buying games, it's rationale for Sony investors to ignore how bad this will be. It's PR
Yes...
Clearly the account doing drive by insults is the mature one...
It's so weird when people who use chatbots, think they're somehow better than other people who use chatbots...
And that the 99.99% of the populations who hates chatbots for valid reasons, want to hear from one chatbot user, about how other chatbot users are dumb.
It's Apple...
Not everyone with an iPhone is tech illiterate, but everyone who is tech illiterate has an iPhone
Those people might think that the only way for their data to get from one phone to another, is them typing a password onto the phone physically.
If they were offered this, they may realize that Apple could just clone their phone and everything on it.
Don't forget how many social media savvy young celebrities had nudes leak a few years ago because they were iPhone users and iphones back everything up to the cloud by default. Most users most likely never realize that's happening.
Buddy, really?
But because no one was buying 32gb machines and a machine without that sticker will end up with Linux…
They just dropped it,
Did you not understand it or just assume none of the later text kept explaining it so you immediately stopped ready?
It's not just you, I see this shit all over these days, what the fuck are you people doing?
The money is micro transactions and the whales have $7k gpus...
Everyone else is just fodder so the pay to win accounts have someone to feel better than.
COD a while ago got caught out for juicing the matchmaking odds right after you buy a new skin. Didn't matter what you bought or how much. A purchase made your next couple lobbies be filled with scrubs on one side, and you and some above averages on the other.
After X amounts of games it wore off, and since those games pushed you up in the normal metrics, you're now in lobbies above your skill level. So even if you get a "fair" game, you're going to do badly, until you buy a skin again or lose to your actual skill level.
That's why everyone started complaining about COD matchmaking, even if you bought nothing, everyone was on the same micro transaction maximizing rollercoaster.
A cynic would say that's why it went free on Xbox, they need a population of players to make the whale milking work. Even if those people only fire it up a few hours a month and never buy anything, getting matched with someone above your skill level who just bought a stupid skin makes you the product they sell to the whales.
Well, yeah....
Most of the time it doesn't work, rarely it does.
Intermittent rewards are what we're wired for. That's why random rewards/acknowledgment tickle our brains more than standard rewards we know are coming.
That's the reason there's such a big push "to just try it".
It's the same strategy the first crack dealers used
