    If it’s an investment what is the expected ROI
    The ability to continue to do business. Trump has promised to place excessive tariffs on imports between 25% and 100%. Some of that is no doubt Trump bullshit scare tactics. But he's in a position to make a lot of it happen, stacking all three branches as he has. If any company runs afoul of him they can look forward to a lot of interference in their business. Congressional hearings, FBI investigations who knows what. It's his stacked deck and he'll be dealing the hands.
    If the shoe fits then.

    "...players are penalized by having their login details suspended, sometimes for over a century."

    I wouldn't worry, the game isn't going to be around that long...
    Especially if said players class action then out of existence for such a digression. 

    People sue for everything these days this seems more legit than most.

    Evolution not revolution. iPad 25, iPhone 25, Mac M100. 

    Where is the new mind-blowing stuff? 


    This is how Apple rolls | Macworld
    Yes, even the revolutions were just coincidental evolutions in a shiny new case.

    I'd love to see Apple resurrect their networking products. A big problem I see, however, is that Comcast/xfinity charges extra to use your own modem and router by charging for the higher data package while not charging if you use their garbage modem/router. I want to go back to my former city that had its own high-speed fiber network without any ISP to deal with. 
    In a lot of locales, one's choice of access is limited.
    Where I live in San Francisco, Comcast is the only service available on my block.  MonkeyBrains may work, but I'd have to spend $200 to find out, and they max out around 200Mbs.  Sonic, AT&T and others are available a block or 2 away...
    Then it might make more sense if the device uses a version of Apples Cellular modem and has an eSIM so a fall-over service or family bundle service could keep the house connected if all the phones are out. That could let other player just sideline cable operators in monopoly areas and 'encourage' competitive behaviour.
