Makes sense. Renault is going all electric in the future even for their Alpine line. Waste of time and money to invest in an ICE that will never become competitive and when the knowledge won’t be adopted for the consumer engines.

Why should they not? Ferrari has done that plenty of times before.

What does he want? A handjob? Man just hire a Dubai porta-potty like every self respecting rich Arab man.

They could’ve just used the second seat for testing and to audition for the second driver. Letting Perez keep that seat was again a waste of time and money. Now Max has to carry the entire team by himself for next season like every season after Riccardo left.

If you still bought a Tesla after Musk has shown his true self you are as much of a fascist as he is.

Yep. This gen has been pretty barren when it comes to AAA games that aren’t remasters/remakes and it’s not just exclusives. The handful of AAA games I want to play run perfectly fine on my low spec PC. Sure not at 4k60, but upgrading my pc or buying a PS5 pro just for those few games just isn’t worth it.

The service providers are the ones who dictate the costs. They provide the infrastructure. The costs for these kind of transactions are much much lower because of economy of scale they handle millions of transactions per day across all their clients. Because they handle so many transactions they can charge a small percentage fee. The loss they make on small transactions they will make up with bigger transactions.

While Steam uses a normal bank transactions to pay developers, because many of them are in the hundreds of thousands and some are in the millions of dollars so you don’t want to have a third party handling those that asks a percentage fee. You’d rather just pay the fixed fee the bank charges per transaction. Since it is cheaper for those large transactions. That fee can be $10-$20 especially on international transactions. That’s why Steam waits till that money is above a $100. And using a third party to handle those small transactions wouldn’t be worth the hassle. The percentage fee would be high anyway because of the low volume.

The whole thing just turns into one big screen.
