Amazon Let Its Drivers’ Urine Be Sold as an Energy Drink

TLDR, not an Onion headline, just a test to see what Amazon will allow. A person came up with a "Release" brand drink, filled bottles with urine, successfully listed them on Amazon, but only shipped them to friends that ordered them. Other people ordered them too though, but were not sent the product.

Another example of a multi-billion dollar company that doesn't curate their products/services. Costs too much money they would only profit 234 billion instead of 244 billion.

That lawsuit against Steam’s 30% cut of game sales is now a class action, meaning many other developers could benefit

This seems like such a nothing case. Steam is optional. It's optional for publishers to use, it's optional for users to install. Steam provides many many benefits for even free games or games not purchased on the Steam store.

Any publisher can publish their game on their own site, on other stores, on physical media. Even though Steam is dominant, you can buy games somewhere else as easily as you can download and install Steam itself.

I hope this case gets thrown out.
