"Here, I think, is a nice, bright-line, administrable test for monopoly power. If your company has a dominant position and if it allocates its surplus capital to its investors and if that precedes a significant degradation of your products, then you have an illegal monopoly and you should be broken up."
Police issued a shelter-in-place warning for the immediate vicinity of the 1500 block of P Street, urging people to go to the nearest building, stay away from windows & remain indoors.

⭐ But: although they plan to add additional speed bumps, current plans will NOT prevent side loading outright. (And given the political climate they don't dare invite additional regulatory scrutiny by barring side loading. They are evil ... but not completely clueless.)
Definitely push push push back -- but also, please research the planned changes -- confirm side loading is not going away.
❌ Do not take our word for it.

Now That The Shoe Is On The Other Foot, Microsoft And Epic Games Suddenly Agree That AI Is Theft
The past four weeks have been something of a wake-up call for the video game industry. You’ve read the headlines, so you know the deal by now: AI advancements spearheaded by Claude Opus 5.5 have turned the world of coding on its axis. Decompilations that used to take months, or even years, are now being pumped out on a daily basis, and publishers can’t keep up with the deluge of vibe-coded browser ports and “native” PC recompilations.
I’ve been covering and researching this over the past month, and there’s one recurring topic that keeps popping up in every comment section I read: karma. For many, this is the video game industry’s “you reap what you sow” moment, proof that the AI tools many publishers have brazenly admitted to using are a double-edged sword.
