These seem to be the four major points:

clear and transparent pricing and pre-contractual information;
avoiding practices hiding the costs of in-game digital content and services, as well as practices forcing consumers to purchase virtual currency;
respect of consumers' right of withdrawal;
respecting consumer vulnerabilities, in particular when it comes to children;

First one actually seems pretty well covered by Warframe already. Second point can be met just by displaying the real currency price next to the plat price, calculated based on what people on average give per plat when purchasing through the Warframe website. Third point... Yeah that's going to be a point of contention for sure. That'll require a redesign of the plat system. Fourth point I'd also say Warframe does. Their 'oh shit' moment when they ended up creating a slot machine with, what was it, kubrow skins? Demonstrates them actually caring about this already. Basically they saw people interacting with a new mechanic much like one would a slot machine, and then soon after rolled it back and refunded everyone who had spent money on it.

I'm not quite following. From my recollection meta ethics deal with the origins of morality, with absolutism being that morality is as inherent to nature as, say, gravity is, and relativism that morality is a social construct we have made up.

Is it hypocrisy to acknowledge something is a social construct while also strongly believing in it?

If I grew up in the 1400s I'd probably hold beliefs more aligned with the values of the time. I prefer modern values because I grew up in modern society. I find these values superior but also acknowledge my reason for finding them superior ultimately boils down to the sheer random chance of when and where I was born.

The death of PC gaming is often exaggerated, be it vr or flat. The open nature of the platform will always have a certain audience.

Good. There is a lot of fear that Russia will only use a cease fire to regroup.

Talk softly and carry a big stick.

It is not just the prime minister candidate saying this. Every party leader is in agreement that the talk of annexation needs to stop.

Puma is pretty alright from my experience. They are based in Germany, pretty large and mainstream.

Is the claim that a corporation runs this community to do self-promotion actually based on anything substantial or are they just being weird on Reddit?

Live service games are not only balanced around tedium, they are designed around tedium. Without it people wouldn't buy boosters etc.

Adapting the meta faster than people can catch up and letting people pay to keep up simply switches the game from balance by tedium to straight up pay to win. Or pay to play optionally, at least, which live service games heavily push you towards doing.

People will chase the meta regardless. Balancing a game by introducing tedium often results in people merely finding the game tedious.

Why the fuck would that be understandable lmao

Krita er dejlig til at lave digital kunst i. Jeg hører den ikke følger helt så godt med til billedredigering. Passer det i nogle af jeres erfaringer?

I would be cautious to trust an American company just because they are non-profit. We know that if they get sufficiently big they can just transition into being for profit (see OpenAi), chances are regulations regarding this won't become stronger later.

Signal being open source of course helps, but it's usually the ecosystem that people grow to rely on that keeps them in place, not the technology. Just look at how big Reddit is compared to Lemmy for a good example of that. If signal was federal that would be quite different since jumping ship would be easy.
