Doesn't really happen here, except with maybe the richest companies with money to burn. It was kind of a thing in the 90s and early 00s though. They would lease (or even buy) nice cars and such as a bonus for anyone they could hire. You had plenty of other types of bonuses like that back then. At some point they figured out it wasn't that sustainable though. So it might be something like that? Though she was already hired in this case. Its loads of work to just make a few screenshots of the game, MAME has an extras package which has mp4 gameplay demos of every arcade game I believe (which is a lot). Can't really do full LPs for all of that for a demo/screenshots. I'd like them to live their lives as well ;) I guess ripping CGs from disks shouldn't be that hard, if the dev used a standard archival format.

Wouldn't want the flow of airtraffic to cease. Same with boats I guess, recently they had a bit of controversy as well. ships were polluting too much, so they had to add filters. Pretty expensive, so they researched a method to not install filters. They found one by just flowing the pollution downwards into the ocean. I saw a few articles on it, but nothing really concrete afterwards. Probably a fine costing less than the proposed filters. All in all it's pretty likely you'll be invaded by us if water rises ridiculously. That'd make for a change ;)

Most older models don't seem to have that, you can still hear the tires but that requires them to move at a decent pace. It's not that dangerous if you pay attention luckily and most people have newer EVs anyways, we aren't much of an earlier adopter nation. E-bikes probably cause far more accidents. Much like yourself I only really followed tech after most of his work, but if you deal with history in computing tech you'll come across hime quite a lot. He probably had a keen sense of business as well, he gets credited with reviving Apple from the brink in the late 90s and his other company (NeXT) introduced a few interesting concepts. Interesting ideas for corporate culture as well, but he wasn't the only one experimenting with that around that time. Reading into Musk it's mostly him being a CEO or something slightly lower and buying/merging with other companies. Paypal wasn't even his idea, it was already a thing and he just got it from a merger. Atleast he used the money gained from that for interesting projects though. It is? For me it's Japan Post and then PostNL when it arrives in NL, not that it really matters for me. As long as it arrives in one piece.

Could be, YA seems to like hopping on trends. Have seen items that I bought suddenly appear afterwards for a bit more money, they seem a bit more blatant about it than eBay sellers. Plenty of decent sellers on YA aswell though. I'm sure Alicesoft will retain an online shop in some form, especially for porn related items that's kind of the best way to sell it. I'd assume most of it would be newer releases and maybe the "download versions" of older games and goodies I guess. I'd need more space and more money if I'd go for goodies. Most of the time you only see them being sold separately on YA though. Sure, I don't know when you have to pay import tax in DE, but forwarding fee and shipping costs shouldn't be added to the value and for €10/11 you probably won't have to pay import tax right?

Probably just grabbed the first price they saw. It's a nice bit of bonus info, but it's probably never going to be relevant anymore so most don't bother.
