- Comment on "Valve must stop making excuses": Steam under fire for "significant price disparity for PC games," causing regional pricing that's "often 20% to 30% higher than the dollar equivalent" 2 weeks ago:
Right. The increase is from ~$69, so it’s +~45% more expensive. If it was a decrease from the $101 it would be ~31% cheaper.

Yeah I was curious where the 30% was originating when it looks like 45%

I have not forgotten. I mentioned it was the family’s ability to use that money, not the individual! You are right that it doesn’t change the conclusion though.

Yeah good shout. I gave up after I realized. Thanks!

His investments and stocks do provide income (although not a salary). Regardless, my earlier statement still stands.
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted this sob story 4 months ago:
That’s all well and makes sense to me, but the person I was questioning stated that $350k+/year is not rich. All of those boxes you mentioned could be ticked way lower than that, and this is nearly 10x the median salary of the UK. That roughly means this family has the ability to spend 8x the median individual and still save/invest 2x their salary per year.

What does this mean? By this metric, the wealthiest person in the world is not considered rich. Elon Musk both works and has an income.

By what metric? Where would you define rich?

For sure, there are lots of options for controllers for PC!

That is true.

I mean Nintendo isn’t really pro-consumer either. I’m not sure if they donate or support genocide, but they are pretty capitalistic to a fault.
- Comment on BDS calls for boycott of Microsoft and Xbox gaming products over alleged Israeli military connections 6 months ago:
Well except for any Xbox peripherals such as controllers, or games published or made by studios owned by Microsoft. It’s not just Windows OS.

- Comment on Why aren't we all getting rich from compound interest? 7 months ago:
Yeah I see, that’s fair enough.
- Comment on Why aren't we all getting rich from compound interest? 7 months ago:
I feel like I’m not being clear then: that’s ONLY taking into account the potential interest earned? Touching the principal, you’d be able to go for much longer. This is coming from a place of ignorance and envy as as American with no prospect of being able to save $1 million, ever.
- Comment on Why aren't we all getting rich from compound interest? 7 months ago:
I have received 5% at least the last few years, but even disregarding the last I’m talking about future spending.
- Comment on Why aren't we all getting rich from compound interest? 7 months ago:
Yes that’s the last 30 years though. I’m not talking about past profits, I’m talking about the future. They seem to currently have enough money to secure at least a decade of spending even before taking interest into account.
