This is basically "I should have asked more questions in the interview"

If you aren't willing to fix obvious issues like this it is not somewhere that I want to work.

no, they have incentive to charge as much as they want, butt they have massive costs / capacity constraints per token, if anything they have a major incentive to reduce them because they literally cannot meet demand.

Dude, this sounds more like a build problem than a new guy problem. Your process sounds completely broken.

And if anti-gravity existed, we could have flying cars.

Outside of ignoring the laws of physics, this isn’t very useful of speculation.

I think you and I have had vastly different experiences of the normal level of conscience in companies.

> Otherwise, why not ask the reporter to reproduce the issue every single day until you choose to fix it in some unknown point in the future, and if they miss a day, it gets closed? That seems just as arbitrary.

Truenas literally takes this approach to bugs.

The main feature they don't want to add is making it easy to tell when games are crap by user reviews

Software projects that do things like edit spreadsheets, transform data, do calculations, yes.

Software projects that are themselves a type of art that is itself copyrighted, lol no.

It seems you don't understand copyright. The entire game is copyrighted. Not just the specific sprites.

You can see the same effect if someone were to make a yellow short guy with metal claws and regeneration as a character.

Power doesn’t just apperate out of thin air. It has to be generated and that has costs. If suddenly the grid draws more power then more costly sources have to feed it. Everyone pays for the same power.

The big consumer also buys in bulk and negotiates better rates etc.

All of these things were managed by the SEC before it was defanged. You don't need 47 laws, you just have to enforce the basic behavior ones. We don't. Nothing else will fix this.
