  Oh, thanks for the information sir! I forgot that I tried that option to see what would happen, now I know. xd

  If I’m interpreting the CEOs Post post correctly, the severance package is only applicable if your contract gets canceled prematurely or if you are being laid off. If your contract ends and is not renewed, all obligations are fulfilled, so there is no severance package since the contract simply ends. (Timel/Project based contract). I could be wrong though. It would make sense to have project or time-based contracts - these layoffs mainly affect the “permanent employees.”

  I agree — some gamers do not understand that the gaming industry is grown up now, or at least old enough to play in the big boy money league. And the big boys are not in the business to make games; they are in gaming to make business. Inherently different decision-making process.

  Also, before someone buys something, someone has to sell out. So why do we always have a problem with the buyers, aka investors, whose intentions are clear but not the sellers?

  Why do you want to censor art? It’s a product of its place and time. jk, but who the fuck reads a greentext from 4chan and is like, “Oh no, the word retarded better be offended in someone else’s place.”

  Part of it was faulty pricing from a Norwegian electricity exporter. Also, they have almost finished the new infrastructure, so they do not have to import as much in crisis situations. I think a new nuclear power plant goes online and lots of renewable stuff. The problem OP is maybe talking about seems to be very well handled by the state and already solved. helsinkitimes.fi/…/24708-electricity-prices-in-fi…

  Yeah, but wasn’t all the art stuff in austria pre-migration? So I would say he is a failed austrian painter turned german dictator?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I stop hating children?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know of one person in my wider circle who reacts also pretty bad when children are being children around him. In his childhood, every time he was loud, wanted attention, or just did what a child does, his parents (they did not even want children; he was an “accident”) got really angry at him. So children being children is a trigger for him.

  Talking to a trained professional helped him immensely to handle this.

  Yes, and you are entitled to your own opinion, but that does not change the facts. No, the influence is not “what if it is there” – it is there, plain and simple. That’s not up for discussion. It’s public knowledge that Tencent owns 40%, and Tencent is a government-controlled entity. It does not matter if they “abuse/use” it actively or not. It sounds like, in your mind, influence is only relevant when you use it actively, which is not true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with Epic Games?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I never said it was not for profit. I said you invest to gain influence, which is true by fact, not an opinion. If I buy a significant number of shares in a company, I do so because I want more than money; I want influence on decision-making. I do not think the Chinese government is only interested in monetary gains; do you think that’s their only goal?

  And again, do you believe a country/government able to indoctrinate any business that wants a share of their market, like the Steam example, is only invested for monetary gains and nothing else?

  Tim Sweeney can do and decide many things, but opposing the Chinese government is certainly not one. And I don’t know how you imagine influence, but having 40% of a company is something I call influence, wouldn’t you? Even if they can’t tell him how to run the business, he sure as hell will do nothing that could worsen the relationship between him and his biggest investor, aka Tencent. And who is behind Tencent? The Chinese government.

  lol XD, let me tell you, if someone is financing something like that, they sure as heck expect something in exchange someday.

  So, you believe a government powerful enough to make unaffiliated companies bow to their liking won’t leverage their investment?

  Why do you think they invested? Just for fun?

  You invest to gain influence, not to have less influence.
