Actually you can't get the full gameplay experience without paying money.
If you don't buy a skin, then your player's appearance randomly changes between matches.
If you don't pay money, then you stop getting rewards once you reach level 62 in a season, you also get FAR fewer rewards over that time - if you pay money, you get at least 1 reward every single level up to 62 and then beyond to 100. If you don't pay money, you get a reward every 2-3 levels up to 62 and then nothing afterwards.
There are challenges that you need to complete any 4 of in order to earn extra experience to level up. You can only complete 3 if you don't pay money.
None of the things you mention affects "gameplay experience" at all. You're talking about purely cosmetic skins/items, leveling up to unlock purely cosmetic items, and challenges to level up quicker to unlock purely cosmetic items. The game plays exactly the same whether you've spent $0, $20, or $500 on skins and/or battle passes.
I don't understand the reference to AT&T's market cap... $400 billion paid to various large telcos for services and upgrades they never provided over the course of 20 years has little connection to AT&T's current market cap.

The movie is shit, people said they aren't interested.
Nobody has seen the movie... how do you know it's shit?
Why must everything have an agenda with you newfags?
I don't know what a "newfag" is, but *I* don't think everything has an agenda. *This* has an agenda, it's quite obvious. Nobody goes to RT and downvotes every movie they don't want to see. They only go to RT to downvote a movie when they have an agenda.

Bad movie after bad movie has gone to this excuse, but it's largely bullshit. Yes, there's some tiny group like that. No, they don't matter. That's not why people didn't like the sad Ghostbusters reboot, That's not why people didn't like The Last Jedi.
A large subsection of the comic-book movie crowd are apparently intimidated by leading ladies.
A non-zero subsection, but there's no reason to believe it's "large", except as a worn-out excuse for a bad movie. No, moviegoers don't hate women. Comic books especially have always led entertainment when it comes to diversity, and comic book fans have never had a problem with that.
Yes, the Ghostbusters reboot and Last Jedi were bad.
How do you/they know Captain Marvel is also bad? Nobody has seen it yet.
That would be all well and good if this was about the over-abundance of superhero movies. In reality, the "review bombs" are from misogynists who can't fathom the idea of a female superhero, much less a female superhero played by an actress who opinions of her own and isn't afraid to express them.
You have two years experience. You get paid $72,000/year.
But I do twice the work of the old fart over there making 155k.
Sorry. Union rules. When you have 20 years experience, you too can make 155k/yr.
And old fart over there is four times as productive as you are. You spend a quarter of your time learning to do things, and half of your time fixing your own mistakes. Old fart already knows how to do things and doesn't make nearly as many mistakes.
Experience has virtually no correlation with understanding or even skill.
I've got many projects under my belt where I was given a compressed timeline because the original team had been working on it for months and the deadline was fast approaching with the team projecting the project getting pushed due to unforseen complexities. I jumped in, quickly read the high level description, looked at what had been worked on, threw everything out, started fresh, and had everything done in a few weeks, plus my own personal improvements. These projects all were originally designed as one-offs, but I changed them to be modular and reusable and the projects have almost all been reused many times with virtually zero changes and bug fixes for many years. What generally starts as a 6 month throw away tool turns into a 5+ year tool that becomes central to many new services that few envisioned the tool to be useful for.
So it seems you have plenty of experience, which informs your understanding and "skill"... exactly opposite of your previous statement.
This scheme simply sells a share of your income for what appears to be your entire working life with no buy-back option. You can't even find a publicly traded stock that'll offer those sorts of terms.
If you had read TFA, you'd see the payments stop when you've either paid a maximum total dollars paid limit or reach a time limit, whichever comes first.
This is why you can watch Prime Video on the Shield but you'll need to find an altered APK to get it to work on any other Android TV device.
My Sony TV with Android TV has the Prime Video app pre-installed. It works just fine and supports 4K and HDR (abeit Amazon makes it really hard to find the 4K versions of their shows and movies).
.NET is nearly 20 years old now. And developers still need to recompile their code (and sometimes write different set of code) for the different platforms, for 32bit, 64bit different CPU's such as ARM.
Not if they compiled their code for "AnyCPU" in the first place. I've never needed a different set of code for 32bit versus 64bit with.NET, and I can't think of a case where it would be required if you're talking about pure.NET code.

If there are balls out there, it's Amazon, Facebook, Google, Netflix and Twitter that're bribing, I mean lobbying, to keep net neutrality
As opposed to Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T that are bribing, I mean lobbying, to end net neutrality.
I don't have a paid Netflix subscription, therefore I cannot watch Netflix movies.
You can't watch a film at the theater without buying a ticket either. I'm not sure how that's relevant to the discussion.
Actually, it's now up to $400 billion:

Dell has had AMD systems again for at least a couple years now.
2 out of 50 were "Hollywood elites".

Google and Facebook are not ISPs (except for Google Fiber, which is subject to NN).
Extrapolation from past experience?
Ponder which reboots or sequels you know where the male hero was replaced by a female hero. Now ponder the good vs. bad ratio.
This is neither a reboot nor a sequel, and Carol Danvers was always a woman.
The movie is shit, people said they aren't interested.
Nobody has seen the movie... how do you know it's shit?

Brie Larson said she doesn't want white males seeing her movie
Nope, she didn't say that.
or coming to her press conferences
Again, she didn't say that.
and said if they do she will purposely ignore them.
She's free to ignore whomever she pleases, just as you are.
Don't believe the lies.
Don't spread the lies.
So why does Avengers Endgame have a 98% want to see rating?
A movie nobody has actually seen. How do they know it's poor?

and the actress who plays the character, who I'd never heard of prior to this, but who appears to be a real sexist, racist, bigoted cunt.
Do you normally become this angry about the opinions of people you've never heard of?

Did you miss the word "unprofitable"? These mines would fail and the jobs would be lost sooner or later without massive government subsidies.
