  • They probably hold funds in escrow until games are outside the refund window before paying the devs, it would allow them to do this pretty easily.

    I imagine they’ve had enough refund requests for games that went on sale shortly after purchase that it made sense to them to automate it. Still, if it were me I’d be automating the ticket processing rather than the refund itself to at least screw over a, most likely, large portion of the users that didn’t notice.


  • I was thinking the same thing about a video I just watched covering Linus ranting to someone who asked a question on the mailing list about big endian support on risc5.

    Basically some guy asked in a single sentence if there was a chance for support and Linus and everyone else wrote essays about how dumb it would be, and I’m wondering why bother reporting on such a niche and completely arbitrary tirade about experimental CPU architecture.

    That said it did include Linus writing a long list of similar examples of hardware choices that he finds offensive that was entertaining, and that’s probably why people report every time he rants about stuff; he puts a lot of effort into his opinions and it give people a lot to chew on if they are interested in those topics.
