I told the person at the The Economist's live chat that I was unsubscribing due to that dark pattern. The other reason is that even if the content is great their app isn't. The saved articles feature isn't shared between different devices. Another reason is that you need to get into an article and then get out instead of doing continuous reading. Ended up reading/annotating downloaded PDFs because it was a better experience than using their app.

That's something I didn't notice but I understand. As an Emacs user that had to end up using Vim mode (evil) due to such concerns.

As I said, spent a lot of effort getting good at SupCom and didn't feel like learning everything again for the expansion.. For me a perfect SupCom would be a SupCom 1 with better performance and graphics. Prefer games that are focused on economics and construction than rushing and getting some land resources, which was the focus in SupCom FA and I guess is better for most people. SupCom 2 I played like 5 hours so I don't even remember much other than I didn't like it.

Haven't played any games, other than VR, in years but I will install SupCom and play a few hours for the memories..

Third party vendors don't buy vulnerabilities on Google's infrastructure and web services. Third parties like Zerodium are interested in 0days on Android, iOS, Windows, Chrome...

You could try to sell it to criminal organizations or monetizing the vulnerability yourself, but it doesn't make any sense to be in that situation if you are making six figures as a bug bounty hunter.. even if you didn't have any ethical qualms regarding such acts.

I was in the top20 worldwide ranking of the original Supreme Commander when I was a teenager, never got over the changes they did to the economy and gameplay on FA. The performance of the original was even worse, you had to apply a patch to get multithreading.

Found an SQL Injection too, reported it and got a license for Supreme Commander 2 as a bounty. That game was way worse than the original, too simplified but I guess it was the logical path as people complained about SupCom's difficulty/complexity.
