Gamers are by and large toxic and ignorant. The ask isn't as straightforward as they make it seem. It would require changes to the binaries and client code beforehand. This doesn't come for free. All the examples of 'how it used to work in the past' are predicated on the specific choices of development to go that route. If an application and server are not architected that way then releasing the server binaries do nothing for the community.
If we're talking real engineering (like professional accredited engineering and not programmers calling themselves engineers) you couldn't be more wrong. It isn't used in deployment necessarily but for modeling and analysis it has no equal.
The use of per month seems arbitrary in the case of a sale as that would depend entirely on the circumstances of the buyer and negotiated mortgage, if any.
Gonna need some evidence to back that up. I'm right downtown and 1bdrm ~600sqft condos are rented at about the $2500/month mark. There are some $3k+ outliers but they're few.
A boycott will not be universally supported and the lack of popularity of this move among the customer base is sure to be factored into the price adjustments. Avoid by all means but I'm skeptical of the impact such actions would have.
Not really unhinged just ignorant.
