@TIGERALG1 @Reoser2 @TimSweeneyEpic @Gary50516778 @donutduck1@Trix32x@3Plantey2@9to5mac@benlovejoy If you define the market small enough everything can be a monopoly, and even then having a monopoly is not illegal. Could say Best Buy has a monopoly on Best Buy shelf space. They built up the brand of Best Buy and the physical space.

I never thought his messianic complex could get any worse but here we are. This legit can't be helping his case and might be actively damaging to it.
@Gary50516778 @donutduck1@Trix32x@3Plantey2@9to5mac@benlovejoy This is bigger than wants. It’s about whether the world’s billions of smartphone owners are free to use apps they choose from sources they choose and creators are free to reach them directly, or if distribution of the world’s creative works will be dictated by two monopolies.
@TimSweeneyEpic @Gary50516778 @donutduck1@Trix32x@3Plantey2@9to5mac@benlovejoy I may be wrong as they have blocked X Cloud as there would be a much stronger argument with that. I'm not 100% on my history of iOS agreements. Either way, the court is very unlikely to do something that can make sweeping changes to how ANY proprietary system can run.
@TimSweeneyEpic @Gary50516778 @donutduck1@Trix32x@3Plantey2@9to5mac@benlovejoy "two monopolies"
Am I the only one who sees a problem with this? Apple created the platform. They created the ecosystem. They didn't make things MORE restrictive after iOS got big. Good luck trying to convince people that monopolies created out of consumer demand is illegal.
@RubenK91@wnkrwnkr@JagexKieren Gaining GP on iron is a lot harder. This would likely just be another thing that makes it harder on irons because of other players.
@HoegLaw "Battleborn"
THANK YOU! That game was an absolute blast! I was a Caldarius main before the game just stopped having players.
"Prey"
That game is also just amazing. I even got 100% achievements on that.
@ludwighornvore @drinkingsince @porter_jared@TimSweeneyEpic Add up the numbers. Net income + Depreciation and amortization.... and you'll get 77,434 which is the "Cash generated by operating activities". Even then, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, and deferred tax income benefit aren't cash.
@drinkingsince @ludwighornvore@porter_jared@TimSweeneyEpic Like I'm fine with people being ignorant, but being arrogant is just being insufferable. I'll be honest, I may be wrong too but I try to keep my arrogance to a minimum. I do know that there is more to the PDF than what Ludwig is saying.
@drinkingsince @ludwighornvore@porter_jared@TimSweeneyEpic They aren't. Ludwig is completely misreading the statement of cash flows. That negative means their net income is decreasing from that.
