You're right, it's not theft. It's fraud. Which is still illegal.

Most of them do, though at that level they're probably not asking indies for keys. The indies come to them.

The secondary market is a bit of a grey market — most of the keys are semi-legitimately sourced from other markets (ex. buying keys in India and selling them to people in the West), but you never really know.

From the sounds of it, these are basically phishing attempts, and there are basic precautions you can take against phishing that don't take very much time at all. Taking a close look at the email address you're sending too is a good first step, as is checking the recipient's Youtube page for an email address (not…

I don't particularly disagree with you, merely pointing out that there were a lot of unwilling participants in the war. And I don't think saying that they had a hand in electing the officials that sent them to die is much of an excuse; you could justify literally any governmental injustice that way.

That's not really true when we're talking WWII — most soldiers were conscripted into service.

There's more to grenades than just flushing enemies out of cover, they're also used to deal indirect damage, for area denial, and for utility (flashbangs, smoke). The problem with RGOs was that they were as good as an M67 for most tasks with the additional strength of being able to deal nigh-unavoidable damage to…

No more so than using Photoshop to create an image over doing it on canvas. It's not like there's not a lot of skill involved in creating the 3D model, painting it, and assembling everything in a way that looks right and still provides freedom of movement.

I imagine the purpose is because he can. You don't really need much of a reason to do a fun little electronics project.

As I recall, she was found partially at fault (30% maybe?) for that reason. Doesn't change the fact that McDonalds was selling an unnecessarily dangerous product despite knowing exactly what kind of damage it could do.

Didn't Riot start automating some punishments a while ago? I don't follow it too closely anymore but from what I recall lower-intensity punishments (chat restrictions, maybe one-day bans?) can happen from a Tribunal case and aren't reviewed, mostly because the false positive rate is really low.

People have been shouting about false reporting in LoL for just about forever and it almost never ends up being true. It's incredibly common on the forums to see someone claim that they were banned or suspended despite being an innocent angel, only for Tribunal logs or a support rep to prove that the ban was fully…

From the Youtube comments, apparently ZSS's paralyzer shot forces you to stand up.

"Hit harder" just means to hit with more force. Hitting a ball harder results in more distance, hitting a pane of glass harder results in shattering the glass. Either works.

Not really? It depends on the system in question, but in general ranking systems treat wins and losses about the same, because otherwise everyone's ranking would trend towards zero.

Welcome to the wonderful world of ranked anxiety.

There are basically two things that matter: build quality and Xinput support. The vast majority of 3rd party controllers have crap build quality compared to 1st party console controllers, meaning they start out feeling bad and just get worse from there. Xinput support is probably standard nowadays, but if anything…

It's worth noting that this is a pretty inefficient way to go about getting cards. While it's the best way to get a specific deck, it also means you're losing between 75% and 88% of most cards' "value" to disenchanting. If you're just trying to build up a collection you can probably get something like four or five…

The problem is, you very quickly get into a chicken-and-egg arguement — do women (generally) not like video games and therefore the market doesn't focus on them, or do video games not get marketed to women and therefore women (generally) don't like them? It's basically the same issue as women in STEM fields; it's…

No, their purpose and design is to launch 40mm munitions. Even in the military, that includes plenty of non-explosives, such as flares and smoke grenades.
