the tradeoff is that they make less per item sold in store than other grocers, and often they take clear losses on some things (e.g 5$ rotisserie chicken, 1.50 hotdog soda)

yes, the mmo at launch was a huge flop, so much so that the newer version of it kind of makes fun of the old world that was destroyed.
because US politics is center right vs far right
name is using non latin characters, so id just imagine youre using an app or browser that doesnt support the character codes for it
Yuno Gasai, a typical character used to represent Yanderes
do you not have like an air fryer or a electric grill/panini press you can use?
not defending the 40k number by any means because no one really can source its information correctly, but the reason why a decent chunk of the deaths in palestine are children is because the average age of Palestinians is very low (~18), so in terms of wiping various buildings down via explosives statistically speaking, there will be people under 18 in that explosion.
how many of them are under 10 will be a TBD state till after the conflict, but its definitely reasonable to assume a chunk of minors died in the conflict simply by law of averages and how the targeting is done.
they do compete, its just users weigh DLSS and Raytracing far more than they should, and devalue VRam in long term situations
for example a 7900 GRE cost about the same as a 4070, but more people will buy the 4070 regardless
its not all, but most devs just tick the box to implement the steam DRM so it feels like all because barely anyone checks if it does or not.
the reason people use it is because theyre educated in the skillset, and likely use it for work because their workplace mandates it.
not everyone is a freelance artist/video editor. Those have much more freedom on their tool choices.
have you seen the sharp decline of fossil fuel based energy in some locations? The whole point in the necessary move for a battery storage in the long term is to minimize the requirement to boot up gas facilities after work hours, where peak power usage happens and solar is minimum.
The problem with global usage is poorer nations cannot afford to switch off dirty energy, and richer nations have a harsh post work hour usage. Lowering usage doesn't fix the problem that there are dozens of countries that will still continue to burn dirty till some country invests in a cleaner option.
put in perspective, even though China and the US has the most power consumption, unlike GDP, it doesn't take that many more countries after them to equate how much power they consume. So unless theres a global shutoff of power (which on its own, will have a plethora of long lasting problems if everything just shuts down), the best solution is to swap the type of energy that generates the most heat/green house gasses out.
if a game gets delisted you still have it on steam (common for games that get remasters, or expiring licences).
a very recent example is horizon zero dawn (owners of the original have the original). historical owners of skyrim legendary edition still own legendary edition and is not a copy of special/anniversary edition
if the store closes, iirc Gaben has claimed that in the case they shut down for some reason, they will remove steam drm from the executables, but thats a game of trustmebro.
