it's the evolution of the "live in the woods" by Ted. For real though, most places suck and governments aren't really interested in your interest, and it's not just privacy. EU is out, US probably too (though probably least shit option), as is China and Russia (though you can p2w here). No matter where you are, you are influenced by their laws (see DMCA) or you are talking to people which are covered by those laws directly by living in those countries.
Making people pay a lot of money for cardboard will beat any government bond by miles.
MTG's secondary market is like half the game. Everything gets rated against market prices (is this pre-built deck worth it? time to sum up the individual card values) and WOTC (or Hasbro, w/e) responds in kind by just reprinting anything that has any value instantly.
A recent cope I've seen is how MTG is a CCG (**collectable** card game), not a TCG, so fuck you if you want to actually play with your cards for a reasonable (lmao) budget and not dump a truck load into your basement so it can age like fine wine and stonks goes up. Now if MTG dies? Then the shit basically becomes worthless over night because the value of the cards is based around the game's image.
It has the fifth stage problem of barely having eurobeat and "actual" racing scenes (it's the "qualification" arc atm), but a lot of talking and hints of the main eurobeat song in the background throughout the episode before it gets fully revealed in a key scene (at least we got two new songs this ep. inb4 they run through all the gas quickly. Also highly unlikely we will get any Manuel songs since he's gone, rip). We also got the "INITIAL D" style mid episode break in ep 2 as well.
>I think they know it never will, it has just proven such a successful grift that they are simply milking it as much as they can.
my theory is that they dumped chatGPT this early because they were running out of money so they rushed it out
>Google has been doing this thing for decades now, it's just that the copying and pasting part was done by a human, and that was so Google was able to continue milking their advertising business model.
and now google has ruined their own product by shoving AI into it, amazing
