I'm pretty sure European (and in fact all non US) users of Steam "buy"/license games from Valve GmbH in Germany not Valve LLC in the US.

From their subscribers agreement:

If your card was issued outside the United States, your payment may be processed via a European acquirer by Valve GmbH on behalf of Valve Corporation.

Can it? On paper they should be enough for people to get out of the hamster wheel a millions time over, but the oligarchs all managed to trap themselves in their own guilded cages with shiny gold plated hamster wheels. The dysfunction that allows people to become billionaires and still sleep at night also prevents them from ever being free.

Please make it sound like old modem sounds.

If we are going to go back to sending data over POTS because companies can't realize how ridiculous this shit is might as well go full nostalgic.

They could be welcomed into the EU in a heartbeat.

Assuming they completely changed their food and product regulations and adapted everything from agricultural and animal husbandry to building codes to match the EU overnight.

Otherwise it's more of a decades long process.

Even CETA is still not ratified because Canadian ranchers and farmers still insist on using growth hormones and have trouble dealing with European GMO tracking and labelling.

I'm sure repeatedly normalizing Farage's positions and reducing British people's exposure to people from other countries will do wonder to contain Reform. /s

Users will end up verifying it. Activision just got caught using gen-ai in call of duty and had to come clean.

If developers are caught lying they will lose credibility.

Just a reminder that this entire situation means everyone that still has access to the White House press conferences is propaganda and not news.

That's easy, they would be like Kelvinverse Spock.

 

Banks in Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Hong Kong have lately been blocking payments from Russian companies for processors, microcircuits, and other electronics supplied through "parallel import" schemes.
