Yes, they made money from sales of the game. This does not explain why they continue to publish free updates for the last 10 years.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If there's a sort of "apocalyptic" event but there are still surviving communities, will people be able to make eyeglasses again, or are people with vision issues gonna be fucked?
8·7 months agoI wanted to train my kids to do this, but my spouse rolled their eyes and asked, “Why would we willingly give up a weapon for you to have a last stand?”

17·7 months agoThey were young and zombie movies were everywhere. In the way of all children, the questions were non-stop. This was also the time I was bedridden, so I convinced them that zombies only went after healthy people.

673·7 months agoI have trained my children from a young age that, in case of zombie outbreak or alien invasion, I am to be left behind. I require far too many medications to function in a post-apocalyptic setting.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What water bottles are completely free from the problem of weird chipping/shavings of the material which could put material in the water, even when dropping it or when using Bottle Bright tablets?
12·9 months agoI have a stainless steel bottle, 40oz. I have never seen what you are asking.
Nicely done!
My folks still have one.
I remembered a worse time (than being the one who kills access):
One of my vendors had won the contract that my company currently held with an automaker. It was told to me in confidence, as they thought it was going to be announced later that month. I was also told because they were looking to hire me to keep all the day-to-day knowledge.
It was finally announced… EIGHT. MONTHS. LATER.
While I never said anything (it could have tucked a major deal and got myself and a few others in legal hot water), I was always quick to counsel my underlings to move to other positions or get jobs somewhere else.
I still run a fantasy football league from my first corporate job back in the 90s. None of us are at the company anymore.
With my access in my last job, I could have crippled the company with 5 minutes notice.
It’s horribly passive-aggressive, but it is safest for the company.
