Every company that owns a game store comes up with this "bright" idea — but then they realise that people can use lots of space this way, it's a lot easy to fill space with saved games than a 10 Gb mailbox with messages 😂
And — this might not be relevant for GOG and CDPR, but might be relevant for EA with Origin — there are no profits to extract from this.

They've been sending out an e-mail message today, it states that they will start deleting stuff on August 31.

There used to be a theory that a lot of people in Moscow were refusing to use public transportation and kept using cars for commuting despite hours (literally) long traffic jams during rush hours — because they weren't hurrying back to their "loving" wife and kids 🤣

You've successfully lured me into watching an ongoing show — now I have to download new episode every week 😜

That would also make waiting queues to these unified restrooms as long as they currently are to women's 😂
That's the downside of it that I see, but it might be big. On the one hand, making it one bigger room would probably help, on the other — lots of businesses like fast-food restaurants would use it as an excuse to make it even smaller to save space and use it for something else, so the queues might become even longer 😩

@kaia @hj
Yes, as always, this isn't a question of clear right or wrong, rather a set of questions and each of them should be addressed individually. Their concern seems quite genuine to me, addressing it with "Trust me, it just won't happen 😏" and labelling them as trans-hating to apply greater pressure, doesn't feel right.

@hj @kaia
I have a friend who is TERF and as far as I understand, they aren't uncomfortable about trans person using the toilet, they mostly just don't care, but that this approach would be exploited by genuine perverts (maybe not the correct term, but let's go with it), to enter women toilets. No one expects this to be widespread even, but there is a possibility and as it always was, people want to be rather safe than sorry.

@newt
No, I won't and like I said above, you might be right even about the connector. They did introduce this new connector and they are making some profits off it — these are facts, the part that this was the original plan is what I find hard to believe and your proof is indirect and insubstantial. There is a more straightforward explanation: USB-C didn't exist — and I go with that. Little Occam's razor thingie 😜

In Russia the tradition of Potemkin villages is still kept alive 😂

> Are you high?
Did we get to ad-hominem attacks already? 😏
Listen, I'm quite a boring person when it comes to this type of arguments: companies making money is of course no conspiracy, Apple using their own connector in order to make huge profits on selling cables would be a conspiracy. And going for that explanation instead of a more straightforward one — is a conspiracy theory.

Sony was also among the companies, other than Apple, that adopter the Firewire interface, although they've been using a slimmed-down version of it, but it was still present in most of their laptops. And among the primary uses for that was transferring data from camcorders — maybe that was their designated way for doing this, not swapping cards.
