That was my go to, but then they refused to give me a deductible invoice for my company (which is just me and my wife). It would have been a not-insignificant tax cut, as €700 is an expense deducted from our profit tax, but because we don’t have an EU-VAT number (being a minuscule company), they refused. We had no problems with other companies. So I just went for a Motorola instead (which was tax deductible). I really wanted their phone, but their complete unwillingness to cooperate, while I’m trying to buy their (arguably justified) overpriced phone, has made me a non-customer for life. A shame because I really sympathise with what they represent, but if I’m spending €700 on a mid-range phone, I want that spent money, to at least save me some money.

Well, at least they gained a one star review on the playstore lol

Fuck Sony, and fuck PlayStation!

I’m sure the pirate versions will still be ad-free☠️

They got paid, they just wanted more money (like actor level pay) after finding out the success of the movie. No one got exploited.

Are you sure the US is a developed country?

Also technological innovation kinda halted in the recent years. That’s why you see everything being filled with unnecessary AI in the name of technological advancement. If there’s no innovation for growth, all that remains is to extract more value from existing platforms, hence the current enshittification of everything.

And a shitload of people still bought it, even after the discless, digital-only fiasco.
