Me, from austria: interesting

That looks genuinely vile, than again, im not a greasy american

Good cause that was fucking stupid of them Just because they think they can "uhm actually" this release doesn't mean it was gonna go their way

That smells like desperation to get a higher playercount and paypiggies

Got more votes and comments here than I ever got on reddit. So this place is pretty cool.

Give it a week or two, things will calm down like they always do

They totally lost me at facebooks competitor to twitter

Are we gonna have 16 times the detail again?

Dont feel too bad about not knowing everything from everywhere, as you said you arent a tech guy, but lets get to your questions

1. Privacy thats...depending on how you see it, supposedly they don't sell to third partys but they do use it for you
2. I will never support them, not only are their prices disgustingly high compared to their quality, their walled garden and fucking tooth and nail fight to keep it that way isnt helping helping
3. While not required I do think they should at least look into all of it for a bit

Im the end, do whatever you wanna do

it doesnt just feel like copy paste, thats quite literally what they are doing, there is plenty of evidence online to show that they do but hey, if you can make whatever low effort thing you want and people still buy it why bother trying?

considering who matt is he just might make it an option lol

well than, i did not, didnt know this site existed but they do show a blender community, thank you
