You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about, whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen...

Red states have been sneaking bans on RCV for years. Remember when Missouri tacked it onto a bill that was marketed as banning non-US citizens from voting (something that was obviously already illegal).
There is a price to pay for being an uneducated, reactionary constituency, and the bill is coming due.
Well that's not a good argument lol. That's like saying doing quantum physics is just writing a bunch of shapes on paper and using words that most people don't understand, so it's basically the same as what a toddler does every day.
Most FPS games require developing a strategy or skill in order to reach the win condition. If it's multiplayer, then the strategy development and execution require social interaction or deduction. It fits the definition of a "game" from a game theory perspective. There is more than one agent, they each have win conditions, and their actions prompt reactions from each other.
But this doesn't, it's a simulation. I assume it has an end condition, but the strategy is just "move towards it". Maybe a game like Satisfactory is a more appropriate comparison. In both games you are making optimizations to move toward the end condition faster. You take actions, but there's no competing agent with its own win condition responding to your actions.
Maybe there's a compelling story to be had that the trailer is underplaying, idk. I don't think Powerwash Simulator is hooking people with its story, though.
I don't think I'll ever understand why games like this are so successful lol. I guess it's just the dopamine hits without the microtransactions? It's not a "game", though, not in a theoretical sense. More like busy work simulator.
While it may seem to be a smart money move, it can result in a costly productivity and innovation lag for the economy.
For the love of god! Won't somebody think of the economy?!
Because they know the "party of anti-regulation/anti-nannie state" will never trust people to take care of themselves and someone will be forced to do it. They acknowledge either they will have to do a bunch of work and be liable when it fails, or some middle man will. So they choose the middle man.
“I hope that everyone sees, regardless of their specific reason, that the enemy is outside of the house. The people posing as Americans with big American opinions but are actually operating from a basement across the world have one common goal - to destroy the United States. We have our issues, but we really can’t allow them to succeed.”

"Yeah, we're just gonna turn that feature right back off here for a second...nothing to see, don't worry about it."
You forgot the Console Wars.
Smaller makes it more expensive. I hope it'll be under $1000, but I think I wouldn't be surprised if it were $1200.
What is happening, what is it you think I said? Why did you come back a day later and make a second irrelevant comment?
New track? Nice! Thanks for the heads up.

AIs are agents when they have their own utility to maximize that differs from other agents (including the player).
Is that a thing? Does the map create more dirt as a function of the player's actions? Does the player need to account for this and adjust their strategy to counter it? That would change my categorization, yes.
It depends. If all players have the same motive and there are no competing agents, then it's a simulation. If players have different motives, then it's a game. If players compete against AI agents, then it's a game.
The formal definition of a game is:
I'm arguing that if the size of
K_a==1then it's not a game, but that page is generous:Which would include a person standing in a room doing nothing as a game. I'm saying that's not a game, hope we agree lol.
