Apple: “I play Lawyer in attack position.”

It’s free for Apple honestly, just for unauthorized use of their trademark alone.

Agreed, this whole Unity thing seemed more like they were surprised the peasants were revolting. Completely unaware of the danger of putting developer bills directly in to the hands of the end users, and not considering that a “trust me bro I counted how much you owe me” blackbox accounting method was too much to ask.

Hit the nail on the head, I’d say. Some future competitive game that endeavors to weigh in an evaluation of personal contribution over just the binary win/loss condition and that implements ways to automatically mitigate the negatives enumerated for long duration matches is going to start off in a really good place.

Handling those issues honestly seems like Step 1 in tackling the kind of negativity that is notorious for cropping up in these sorts of games. If everyone’s having a better time and doesn’t feel punished for things outside of their control, it seems reasonable to assume that the baseline behavior will be a lot more chill.

This is why I die a little inside each time I see someone post an LLM summary of an article.

As if generating it in the first place and then reading that is somehow less work than just reading the article to begin with.

The article addresses exactly this suggestion.

Remember, the attack model proved highly effective even against a very silent keyboard, so adding sound dampeners on mechanical keyboards or switching to membrane-based keyboards is unlikely to help.
