Depending on the country, and depending on the gift, yes. Though it’s mostly not enforced.

Hiding the loads would require them to redesign the game.

What I wonder is why they don’t copy the game from the cartridge on first load - that’s what they do on PS5 and Xbox Series X because the optical drive is also too slow.

It depends on why it’s slow. Games are complicated software, and some times compromises made in the base architecture can cause issues when porting to untested hardware.

You remember how that was a console exclusive so it was optimised around the console’s specs? Star Wars Outlaws wasn’t done with the Switch 2 in mind, so if the Switch 2 has limitations that the target PC spec or PS5 / Xbox series S doesn’t it’s natural performance will suffer.

They are hoping people are going to be afraid of being caught with one. (yeah, idiots)

Because the manufacturer and seller are in China and they want to make an example out of someone?

They had the “We the people” platform, started by Obama. But Trump started ripping it apart, and Biden pulled the plug on his first day in the office.

And even then instead of being people driven, the US administration would choose what they want to address or not. For all the excesses of EU bureaucracy, there are plenty cases like this where it prevents politicians from ignoring people’s concerns; they can still refuse to act, but at least the petition system forces them to go on record.

Are ID Documents numbers validated on submit if you fill the form instead of using eID? Some countries don’t even have an eID option, and Finland and Ireland don’t even ask for document id.

So does not allowing food companies to sprinkle lead and uranium in food. What’s the point?

Yeah, it would be great if Google made this more granular. The same for Samsung with AutoBlock.

Congratulations, your noob user is now using JPEG-XL. It’s not working on old devices, or any mainstream browser besides Safari. The less mature library also has a bug that allows for RCE and now everyone is running a cryptominer.

Now you say, but webp is supported everywhere, so let’s go with that. Now the noob is using wepb for a bunch of rasterised vector graphics with 4 or 5 flat colors, and he’s wasting more disk space than before.

So I repeat, if you need one size fits all, PNG is better, it works everywhere, and it’s even more efficient in cases where lossless graphics matter the most.

The title is hyperbole. PNG is lagging behind modern lossless formats in terms of new features.
This doesn’t mean it’s a bad format or that it shouldn’t be used. In fact, it should still be the default unless you need something it doesn’t support or really need to reduce file size.

So, basically, ATLUS is a money printing machine.
