What would happen if (or when) all the apps were built with vibe coding?

Isn’t this something the Pope actually disregarded about?

Both. It’s an intersection.

No, you don’t seem to see the point of my comment above: it DOES NOT MATTER what they mean with “protecting the children”. What matters is that as soon as you bind your cause to an unpopular one, you are just increasing your chances of losing. I care about SKG, and I don’t want it to fail because of a change of priorities. You are aware that Politics is a matter of pragmatism, aren’t you?

I will easily sound unpopular, but I don’t think it is a good strategy. It doesn’t matter if the “Protect the children” statement is genuine or pure gaslighting. What counts is that it is an easy win for politicians, and if SKG ties up against age verification laws, the risk is that it could lose support of those politicians who have expressed their interest in it.

Think about it: SKG could risk to be ruled out by those politicians who are endorsing the Online Safety initiatives. If these MEPs are put in the position to choose between “Protect the Games” or “Protect the Children”, there is no way they will choose the former, because the latter is an easier reputational win.

It’s a matter of strategy: you should take a little battle at time, because the moment you are clubbing battles together, you are just increasing the probability of losing all of them together.

People like it because it’s trash, not despite it’s trash. That’s how entertainment works.

Can’t recommend any specifically, but OpenCamera works alright.

Generic character in a robe, possibly Ghandalf: “Use the Force, Harry!”.

Does it count also the Publisher budget (which usually goes to marketing, advertisement, etc.)?

I can name 2 o 3 corpos (big ones) who regularly renew their WinRAR license. And that repays it abundantly.

WinRAR sells a successful and effective product to companies. AFAIK, their main business is B2B.

Hype is fundamental in their marketing strategy. When they release a game port on PC after 1.5 years, all the hype has already died out.

Their loss. I won’t buy a PS5 or later anyway.

Watched a demo at the Milan Games Week in last November. The game is polished and has lots of curated environments. The cities design looks amazing.

You cannot compare with someone in their 15 today: average time spent with families is decreasing, and the average time that teenagers spend in touch with their peers (not necessarily in person, but also via IM) is increasing, and therefore also the peer pressure. Also, what about those kids with absent parents? What about those kids with toxic or incompetent parents?

Sure, I agree with anyone who says that kids should be guided and assisted on social media in the right environments, or in a way to find the right spaces to express themselves (with hobbies, sports, group activities, whatever), and I’ll vote for anyone who could do anything on that purpose. But we can also imagine flying cars at this point.

You cannot ask a 15 year old for that. They are subject to peer pressure. The only way is to forbid or restrict the access to Social Media to minors. The real question is: who must do it?

To be fair, when I hear people screaming: “It’s too good to be true!”, or: “It has so much we have never seen in AAA!”, etc., on the contrary, we did. It’s taking features already defined in other games and assembled here all together.

Does Mullvad allow sports streaming? When I used it to watch the Olympics on the Italian broadcaster (RAI), the stream was blocked.
