I'm not sure where you're numbers are coming from, but the inflation calculator I found through Google says that $59 in 1992 is more like $135 today. That's still a significant increase of course, although I wonder how much publishers benefit from not needing as much physical distribution. After the initial investment selling digital keys on a third-party storefront like Steam should be pure profit, no?

Well, you could just change all the names and remove all explicit references to the original and then sell it. I was just looking at the new game Tempest Rising, which is extremely obvious about copying the plot and design of Command and Conquer, but it's been changed just enough to avoid copyright.

I think this is a Simpson's reference. Trump is literally Mr Burns confirmed.

People somehow still think Trump is an expert businessman who actually has a plan. If you assume that, it becomes plausible that this is a negotiating ploy, talking tough to get concessions out of other countries.

The market may question the extent to which a sufficiently structured planning process for major economic decisions is taking place," Saravelos said.

This is a joke, right? There very clearly is no planning process at all other than Cheeto Benito's unhinged whims.

The bar is on the absolute floor, but I'll take it. Better than that one guy who said he didn't regret his vote after ICE got his wife.

Silver lining, the fact that the child of such a terrible person can turn out okay gives me some hope.
