4!? Since when was there a Jurassic World 2 and 3? Did they not do any promotions of them or something or do I live under a rock?

Nintendo issued an apology in 2020 over the issue, but argued that players who purchased the items were bound by the user agreement of the Nintendo Switch and thus ineligible to participate in a class action lawsuit against the company.

I'm not a lawyer, but this seems suspicious. How would this work? If I purchase a product in a retail store, where exactly would I sign something agreeing to give up my eligibility to participate in a class action suit? Are they trying to argue that linking the hardware to your account carries over the restriction to any hardware used?

That's not a money reason or a store related reason. That's really on the developer. Mac is a different architecture. Often times Mac versions require extra development.

Linux is gaining more ground not because of a store or the developers themselves, but because Proton makes the windows versions of games run on Linux.

My argument was about exclusivity deals, not technical compatibility.

Okay?

2 wrongs don't make a right. That said, Microsoft does this much less frequently than Epic and mostly just with first party games.

Here's a list of Microsoft Store exclusives. I don't see a whole lot of triple A games on there.

Starfield was on Steam at launch, as was Halo Infinite. Microsoft has been moving away from exclusivity. But how dare they keep Solitaire all to themselves, right?

Yep. Heard great things about the game, but I'm waiting till it's on steam to get it. I refuse to give Epic a dime. Exclusivity deals hurt consumers.

How else is it pronounced?

One other thing to add: permanent residency is issued at the province level.

If you're planning to move here permanently and don't speak French, don't move anywhere in Quebec. It's the only province that requires French language competency for permanent residency. In other provinces, you can acquire PR with just English.

Do what I do: hold tight and pretend it's a plan.

The funniest example of this being the development of COVID vaccines

I disagree. The funniest example of Trump never admitting he's wrong is definitely the Four Seasons Landscaping press release.

In Canada and the UK, if the government fails to pass a budget, it triggers an automatic vote of no confidence, parliament is dissolved, and it triggers a general election.

US politicians do not suffer any consequences for failing to do their job.

BG3 is based on the DnD 5e system, with some homebrew rules. Items have different tiers of rarity. While there may only be one in existence in this game, it's not a unique item in Torril at large in the context of the Forgotten Realms.

I'm not saying that your idea is wrong. It makes sense in the context of this specific game. I'm just pointing out why it is how it is right now.
