Can't believe there's this many comments with Technology Connections being listed.
I've seen the payment processor argument a lot about this regarding twitch specifically, but I really don't think it holds any weight in this one specific case. This is Amazon we are talking about. They are one of the 3 entities in the whole goddamn world who could dictate terms to Visa, not the other way around.
I think there might be something to be said here for some potential selection bias. Are Tesla drivers like ram drivers, overly aggressive idiots but with the added layer of being relatively new tech?
It's also profitable for long-duration early access games where most of your users and potential purchasers already have already bought it. Good cash injection right at the end of development from an audience that probably wasn't going to buy it anyway.
Peace was never an option
Isn't action like this a crime in the US? I thought I remembered reading that somewhere.

That ending theme was irresponsibly good.
Sounds like software engineering
I pay for it so my kids' accounts don't have ads. They're too young to sort out all the edge cases that aggressive ad blocking generates and for a bonus we get youtube music.
I see we're back to the land border between Canada and Denmark already.

While the human's behavior following the loss of the game is illogical, as humans are want to do, your dismissal of their responses to your clarifying statement regarding their loss as 'petty' is inherently illogical as well. Doing so instead of, as logic would dictate, rigorously testing their response for potential validity, if only in a human context, has resulted in your hypothesis being unanswerable with available information. Please keep in mind that while the actions of humans often appear illogical, this commonly is due to a lack of context surrounding those actions or understanding that, being highly emotive beings, the logic of their actions may be derived from a not immediately accessible source given a Vulcan perspective in observing the events. Further inquiry in this matter is generally welcomed by persons engaging in apparently illogical behavior, and your failing to clarify these conditions at the time of the event necessitated the query passing to this board, which could have been a post in /c/humansubspacemicroblog providing insight into this phenomenon instead of us attempting to ascertain fact with incomplete data.
