I can’t speak to the specifics of it, but Bedrock and Java editions are functionally entirely different games. They’re designed to function nearly the same, but under the hood, the only real similarities are in the graphical assets. Past the user interaction, they’re not really comparable at all.
Since OpenNIC resolvers are user-run, doesn’t that mean a bad actor could theoretically pop up at any time and log any request that goes through them?
Rowling owns the rights to the Harry Potter IP, a fact that can easily be verified using multiple sources with a simple search. As such, she makes royalties on every single use of the IP.
And BTW, no one denied that she makes any money from it, they just denied that it matters.
I also never made the claim that denying that she makes money makes you an “outright transphobe” (a phrase I also never said, despite your quotes.) I stated that denying the relevance or existence of transphobia is the same as a tactic used by racists.
Everything you just said, and everything you attributed to me, actually only happened in your own head. At first I thought you might just be confidently incorrect, but the absolute depth of your lies makes the truth clear.
Opaquely lying like this is also a tactic used by various types of bigot. It’s called a “straw man argument,” is an unethical tactic that adds nothing to the debate, is a favorite of bigots everywhere, is generally applied when one has no real argument, and is only effectively applied in far less obvious manners than this.
Not at all. In fact, denial is a common tactic. See the “racism doesn’t exist” crowd for a prime example. I think you’ll find it’s full of racists.
Well, someone said terfs had nothing to do with Harry Potter, I said the IP is owned by a terf who makes millions from it, and you said “Yawn,” so… Yeah, pretty much.
Put simply, a terf owns the IP, money flows back to her. Outright denial of this fact is borderline transphobic itself.
You’re borderline if you’re happy to sit around and pretend (and publicly claim to others) it has nothing at all to do with Harry Potter as a series.
You don’t know me.
What a long-winded way of telling me you want to support transphobia.
The people you just named, ya know, other than your favorite bigot, you know how they tend to get paid? Paychecks. One and done. Generally, they don’t get royalties. They might get paid for future projects from that cash, assuming the publisher brings them back or owns them, but as far as straight cashflow goes, that money is going to two places: executives and rights owners.
Just admit you’re transphobic, it’s a lot easier.
Where does the money flow, bud? One way or another, you’re supporting her and her transphobic views
Gee, what could a game in a series created by a terf have to do with terfs? Scientists will ponder this for years. I mean, it’s not like J.K. Rowling owns the I.P. and makes millions of dollars per year from things like this, right?
Edit: TL;DR
Rowling consistently makes passive income on all Harry Potter products. Multiple sources have cited that Rowling earns anywhere between $50 million to a $100 million each year from royalties. Forbes estimated she earned $95 million in 2017 alone.
I’ve read about this one. I don’t know if it applies to games totally managed by other stores, but I know it originated with key distribution. The gist is, they distribute keys to the publisher free of charge, so this was so they can’t undermine their pricing while still utilizing their content distribution systems.
IIRC, it basically just says that base prices have to be the same.
This is entirely true, and you don’t deserve the down votes from people who refuse to face it.
Building an equivalent system to a console, without a whole lot of luck being involved as far as finding deals goes, is likely to cost nearly double. This is speaking from experience, my current mid-tier PC, which almost performs as well as a current Gen console, cost about $400, and without, as said above, the ludicrous luck I had finding some deals, would’ve cost about $600, as the GPU alone, one that isn’t actually very good at all, retails for over $300.
Gallery-dl is another option.

I ran into you naturally, and let me just say, your behavior is uncivil. So yes, you should be worried about getting banned, you should expect a large amount of users (many with valuable input) to block you, and you should understand that it will be entirely your fault.
I hurt a Mods EGO
This exemplifies said behavior. You are self-isolating here.
