Are you sure it can't export c# to web? I would have assumed that as true but Godot's documentation does not list that as a limitation, and in fact offers c# code on how to use the JavaScript interop, something that would be pretty meaningless without support.
Sure piracy isn't necessarily a lost sale, but would there be more sales if people could not pirate the game, as with say a ps5 game? Especially in the case of rather widespread piracy in the weeks preceding release where even normal platform users may pirate because it's the only way to play. To what degree I couldn't tell you, it's most certainly not a 1 to 1 like the companies would like to argue, but there's almost certainly at least some amount of loss.
It does seem like they're mistaking two issues as one. Because you can't submit a friend request without knowing the descriminator I don't see how it would be involved in failed friend requests, I would put the blame for that squarely on case sensitivity. And not knowing your descriminator isn't really a problem, it's shown prominently on your UI if you need it, it's not as though the unique user names people come up with will not be similarly prone to forgetting when it has no use outside of friend requests.
Yeah on the surface this looks more like "This user doesn't know German we should make German tweets much less likely to appear on their timeline" kind of thing. Just a complete misinterpretation, presented as fact without any supporting evidence.
I think even if he was correct that Twitter has a lot bloat that needs to be cut, I really struggle to believe you could accurately judge who or what needs to be cut when slashing your 7000 employee business in half within 5-6 days of walking in the door. The chance of making big mistakes and cutting critical staff and teams is very high.
When I did Comcast phone support it was common to have different call centers and queues for different regions, each region has different internal tools owing to differing networks during acquisitions so only agents with the right tools and accounts would be able to handle certain customers. Our center handled multiple regions but agents would usually be trained to handle just one. Usually the IVR will make cursory account billing and outage checks and then forward the call to the appropriate location.
It's pretty bold of him to claim they were trying to make themselves more appealing for an aquisition or merger when nearly every action Twitter took was to try to stop Elon from buying them, only relenting when he made an offer so preposterous that they had no choice but to negotiate or risk a lawsuit from their shareholders.
I don't know if that's true. At least it you wrote a story which is almost exactly like Harry Potter from scratch, without referencing the original and with none of the original characters, I don't believe this would be an issue under current copyright rules.
