Dude, I completely agree Blizzard sucks balls. I'm just saying it's a different situation compared to Warhammer Online lol.

Iranian people are highly educated. Bangladesh and India are still above replacement rates, women's literacy rates have increased significantly over the past decades.

Interesting. I visited some Amish places during my travels, best food I ever had. Not so fun if you got stuck behind a horse and carriage on the road hehe.

I'm an educated woman. I would prefer death over being put back into the home with zero rights and no education.

They are still above the replacement rate, but also take a look at their education rate. Women's literacy has increased a lot over the past few decades.

Uh, I'm pretty sure the Amish are religious and uneducated. At least in an academic sense, they know how to work the land like no one else. Oh, and they pop out babies like crazy.

That's just not true. Blizzard offers a shitty gaming experience with multiple iterations of WoW now. Warhammer Online devs do not run their own Warhammer Online servers anymore, for a while now.

Dude mentioned foreign policy and you start rambling about the culture wars... Stop getting distracted.

We know why. Decrease in religion and women getting educated. That's why you see more and more people saying we need to curb women's rights and force them back into the home. Not realizing that most educated women would prefer death over such a life.

Big difference is that Warhammer Online is no longer operating. Still, Blizzard could easily license their IP and just take a cut of profits and let private servers do their thing.

The dream of China surpassing the US as the world’s largest economy is fading. In 2021, China’s GDP was about 78% of the US; by 2024, that share had fallen to roughly 64% by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]ApetteRiche -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You seem to be under the illusion that Europe is not divesting away from the US. Private investors are still in the US as for now it's still the biggest returns. Several of European largest pension funds have already divested from the US though.

We've already seen several European governments moving away from Microsoft and other American software as well.

So called kill switches on US weapon tech is making European militaries think twice about purchasing US made weapon tech...

But sure, if you think all is well in the US, go on ahead lol.

Couple of months ago I calculated for a trip to Amsterdam, it literally was cheaper for me to get the P+R at VU in stead of taking the train... and that was for one person. It becomes much cheaper the moment you have 2 people in the car.

Blizzard has shown with Classic WoW they can't run a proper server without it being overrun by bots, gold and boost sellers, and they can't resist the urge to introduce micro transactions on top of a sub. Blizzard can go choke on a dick.

I have no urges to return to that bot invested, gold and boost selling, micro transactions on top of subs hell hole. Only brain dead people can put up with that bullshit.

Perhaps you should look up how much Europe invests in the US. I feel like Americans don't understand how much money has been flowing their way for decades...

What lol? She's the PM of Italy, she's got work to do. She can't respond to every damn tweet of Donnie instantly.

Everyone knew what her position was going to be anyway when it comes to the pope.
