Make them so you can use ANC wall powered even if the battery dies. Some of us don’t destroy our headphones and want them to last and not be disposable.

Stop making headphones so they only last 5-10 years.

/uj Wasn’t it implied (also in the obi wan series) that they needed to separate them literally as much as possible? So not just planetary, but also by the very walk of life, and by all reason, they shouldn’t have ever crossed paths, even accidentally. If they were both paupers on different planets and physically passed by each other, they might talk, but by separating them by class, even if they walked by each other, one is literal royalty and the boundary would be immense.

So that they eventually crossed paths by fate, shows the power and will of the force to bring good people together or some bullshit.

Ngl, it all reads as ffmpreg now. I had to look at it like four times before it didn’t look like ffmpreg

Watch the anti plastic straw movement have been a comparative-trivialization by big-pollution. Give us shitty paper straws, and suddenly everybody wants plastic everything again.

Cold drinks that have to be cold to be good, are bad.

If you want your drink to be good, it has to be competitively good at room temperature, first.

It would also have to have some sort of repeatability. If you only get one lootbox per account, even if it’s random, I wouldn’t consider it gambling.

It brings me back to valve adding skins in. They probably wanted it to be random so people wouldn’t just buy a handful of great looking skins but not the more normal ones. Honestly, if lootboxes were free and timegated and you only got one per day… Then the skin makers wouldn’t get any money. Unless Valve hired them, which they probably don’t want to do. But then also the game benefits from having high quality skins and they should just hire them… but then fans can’t really get involved in skinmaking.

So give free crates at a slow rate, but sell cheaper keys with count and rate limits. But kids shouldn’t be gambling.

Soo… The free crates are random, the paid keys are more expensive and let you manually select from a set like in gw2 mount select license.

That way, you can tie royalties to the set but give more to the skin that’s chosen. And, since the money isn’t spent on randomization, it isn’t shitty gambling.

Eh? Yeah? What do you think about that? See any flaws?

Probably for the better? Not sure though.

In gw2, I’m assuming you mean that you can’t gain black lion keys?

But you can buy gems?

I like how if you can pay money and get something useful, it’s shitty for the company to do and pay2win.

But if you can pay money and it only be skins, it’s shitty for the company and purely for addiction.

But then if they can have value, now it’s really gambling and trading?

Yet we can pay money to play games which get us nothing and that’s fine.

The legal system still can’t figure out digital goods, it seems. Not a criticism, just an observation. If it were easy, it would be solved and everyone would be happy.

Maybe we should just listen to gamers. If it feels shitty, it is, and if it doesn’t feel shitty, it isn’t. But then also, we know that people in the throes of addiction don’t always know they are.

But also, why do we even ban gambling? To protect people from that which is an obvious abuse and manipulation of their senses to seal their money? Fair trade being allowed.

So then why does the definition of gambling have anything to do with randomization? Would it be better or worse if there was no randomization? To me, that seems irrelevant.

Ugh I’m getting too deep in this and society is starting to unravel. I’m starting to think about stuff like different geographic social contracts for how to medically research and agree on scientific findings, and how those do or don’t eventually define law. Like your country may accept certain expectations of law structure and how close it’s defined to the findings of whatever medical conventions you have, such as how addiction is formed and the level of social contract in result or even awareness of said findings. And also that much of games in general is randomized…

Hmmmmm. I wish there was a good answer for this stuff.

The EU! That’s surprising that there’s that limitation. Do you know why that restriction is there? Is Valve the one imposing that restriction, your country, the EU? Or maybe you aren’t old enough and there’s protections? I’m curious.

Some people buy with the intent to sell later and turn a profit, like stock trading, is what I meant.

What do you think would be a more apt analogy, then? Maybe I’m painting them in an unfair light. But, my point is that they’re a toymaker that makes and distributes entertainment for everybody, but also do this thing that kinda sucks.

Can you sell, or only buy?

Because trading is still a form of gambling.

Also, curious what country you’re from.
