I was one of those 7 users, and so was my son that I had not seen since he was 5 days old. We reconnected through g+ after 16 years. It will always hold a special place in my digital heart.
Was it not the end consumer who paid those tariffs?
It is whomever imported the item that pays. If you order directly from a tariffed country you pay. If American_Business_01 imports stuff they pay, they then either eat the tariff, raise their price to retailers and distribution (this is what is happening in the non-video game industry). Some businesses are raising MSRP and spreading the tariff between themselves, distribution, retailers, and consumers. Some companies are trying to dump it all on retailers by not raising msrp.
This was 2006/2007 I think. Every article I read about it had a different solution and none worked fully.
I also remember when I asked for help on wow centric forums being crappy replies of "don't use Linux" and when I would post on Linux centric spaces getting "don't play wow" replies.
Years ago I made the switch to Linux, then I wanted to play WOW again but it would not run on my Linux machines, so I started to dual boot. Then I began to wonder why I was keeping Linux installed.
Eventually I made the shift to macOS because I worked in theatre and needed it for specific Mac only programs. But I still have a Lenovo legion that I am getting ready to swap over to Linux (not that all of the games I currently play do not run on macOS or my steam deck).
If I was able to get WOW running on Linux years ago I likely never would have swapped back to windows. And I am currently trying to convince my son to install Linux on his pc running windows 10.
I have it running and saving finally. I installed through lutris. From another thread I was going support:
I installed to /home/user_name/Games/the-sims-4/drive_c/users/windows_user/Games/The Sims 4/Game/Bin/TS4_x64.exe and it is saving, it is launching. I will let you know how it is doing once my wife has played a bit. Thank you very much for helping me with this.
I am going to dig into what you wrote because it looks like there is a lot of amazingly useful things in it. I really appreciate your help with this. And my wife is currently making a sim.
