Sports fans are willing to put up with a lot of abuse. Probably the segments that is blasted with the most advertisements, gambling, so overpaying for an annual sports game is no surprise. They pay mtx on top of that too.

That’s with trusted parties where that type of collaboration is less likely to happen between parties that are hostile to each other. I would not expect blank country to trust any blank adversary countries software and instead be wary of their motives and back doors, and they would be smart not to with both sides seeking each other harm.

I don’t think you understand that I am viewing this from how sides that see each other as potential threats view and treat each other. Not talking about countries that are already collaborating as if they were allies.

In case you don’t understand. I am not claiming that countries do not spy on their own citizens and seek methods to spy even more on them. I’m talking about how countries can react to countries they label as adversaries.

Headline is misleading since it gives impression Sony is intentionally going out of their way to prevent the game from working through Proton, but this is more the case of multiplayer component not working.

So cool. Is there a way to find out which communities did what?

Their approach to making it more difficult to upgrade and replace parts that could lead to hardware being used longer to reduce ewaste made them not seem all too altruistic long ago. Nice OS and stocks though.

Trying to set barriers seems logical when it comes to outsiders. But, spying by its nature is constant attempts to sneak past barriers, so attempts aren’t going to stop. It’d just be called collaboration instead of spying if information was shared freely and spying would be unnecessary.

Maybe we have a different definition of deter. I don’t see it as stop, but trying to make it less easier. Why would spies stop trying to spy? I don’t expect that number to change. If it did that would be some pitiful spies.

Not saying it is okay. Pointing out that even if hypocritical there’s generally a strategic reason for countries to deter international spying. Would be quite a puzzling decision for any country to provide an open door for other countries to spy on them.

I think most countries spy on their citizens and a lot of the same countries probably don’t want other countries doing the same due to possible unwanted intel leaks in government and corporate sectors.

I do 1/144 and 1/100, but I do like the 1/100 better. I’ve done moving and they came out fine with packing peanuts and used zip lock bags so parts didn’t go everywhere.

Never really understood why companies like Twitter can have thousands of employees for what the product is.
