Overwatch also had paid lootboxes and skins. Overwatch was very heavily monetized.

If it was a bad game, there would not be so many people playing it and shelling over money for skins.

Uh, no? It's been proven time and again that people who buy skins don't buy it out of love for the game, but because it's effectively gambling and triggers the same spots in your brain that dopamine does.

Glad this is downvoted. It takes way more than a couple of hours to completely change your apps backend to read from a completely different website’s API. And that’s not even thinking of how complicated dealing with the fediverse is, dealing with multiple domains and logging in through multiple fediverses.

The guy doesn’t owe you anything. Please be quiet.

 

Wealthsimple recently opened stock lending. I had never heard of it before, but it sounds interesting - you only have potential upside (with the only real downside being your money isn't covered by CIPF if something goes wrong)

Potato. People think just because they’re used to make French friends, they’re unhealthy. Just don’t deep fry them and they’re perfectly fine.

I highly doubt Reddit is gonna shut down their website.

People say GS, but I feel like financing iPhones only makes up a tiny part of Apple Card lending.

Same. If only there were alternatives to lemmy…

Was gonna say the same thing, but glad alternatives exist. I’m not active enough of a user for the differences to matter.

Now, if only there were iPhone apps for Lemmy…
