Yeah, because otherwise by the above logic, one could also say, "bees are humans (and so are eels)", because they all belong to the Animalia kingdom.

Oh even better, "bees are Uranus (and so are sedimentary rocks)", because all are nouns.

    It could also be heavy bones. Although I guess that wouldn't get you to a 90.
    Also, I think white muscles (fast-twitch fibres) would be have a higher specific weight (due to lesser capillaries), which could also make someone heavier without looking fat.

    Ok, so I looked into it further and looks like they also take a tax on every trade, meaning they are actually profiting off of people's auctions after they run their slot machines.

    Seems to be quite a bit of ill-gotten gains to be found here.
    Gabe might have to pass on a few of his future yachts.

    Well, this precedent is going to end up helping all the pro-rootkit companies a lot.
    Here's hoping GoG still stays on its own tracks.


    And when they end up doing EA and others, they will get no more than a few million in fine.

    Although, I am now interested in knowing the extend of these "ill-gotten gains" Valve has..

    For some reason, even though I have been using Steam for a long time, I am not privy to the "lootboxes" they talk about. And my account was never parented. I feel like I would actively need to look for what they are talking about.

    disgorge all ill-gotten gains

    Why is this the only lawsuit where I see this phrase?
    Why do other companies go away with a few million $ in fine?

    -> Now I want to know how much Valve has "ill-gotten" out of this thing.


    I definitely prefer GoG and being able to play all my games with the internet off and don't consider Steam as some angel. But from what I see, the very fact that so many Gaming companies are trying to destroy Valve, tells me that Valve is giving value that these others don't want given to the customer.

    So, using what laws to sue a group of companies for the malicious use of court to attempt to reduce the overall quality of product options available to the consumers?
