  • Google also can’t:

    Share app revenue “with any person or entity that distributes Android apps” or plans to launch an app store or app platform Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first Offer developers money or perks not to launch their apps on rival stores

    So basically, hand Apple a monopoly over the smartphone duopoly. Apple still will be allowed to do this, and they have done this already in the past. Wow, way to make sure the free market stays free.

    Worst part is, because this is a government made monopoly, Apple can’t be taken to court for monopoly behavior. Apple didn’t do anything here to make this happen, but will laugh all the way to the bank for it.




  • It’s only a link to a YouTube video because it’s the only place it exists. Which should raise some serious warning bells. No Liberal or Conservative news outlet has anything about this.

    I’m not saying it’s fake, but it’s only on this one site, by this one person, who supposedly has a huge history in news media who wouldn’t have a hard time getting it into any other news channel (even ones that could link to her) seems… Odd. But hey, don’t forget to join her Patreon page.




  • WotC never cared much about the novel and stories part of their IPs. You could tell from the MtG lore that it always was a distant second.

    Forgotten Realms was amazing in the 80s and 90s, but that was when it wasn’t bought out by WotC and still a part of TSR. Now that it’s part of WitC (Hasbro), all of the lore is not cared much about in all their IPs.
