First of all, I never said I buy them on release. I pretty much but all of my games on discount. Except for Factorio.
And also, you tell me to speak for myself and then immediately admit to buying an occasional AAA. So turns out I was speaking for you, too.
But most importantly, the point was that my statement will be true for vast majority of people. They aren’t gonna stop buying AAA games.
Might as well say “stop buying AAA games”, as they all are made by corporations, who are, as we know, scummy.
But we aren’t gonna stop, are we? Like, I don’t even play them, I play retro and indie games, but an occasional AAA still slips in.
All higher end USB-C MBPs also had 4 USB-C (Thunderbolt) ports.
*slaps top of the port* Each of these ports can fit so many ports.
That weird little bear to the right of “ACAB”?
I just saw this episode for the first time a week ago and it was worrying kind of funny to see the date. While I’m not in US, Europe isn’t doing much better lately.
Ahh, into the dressing makes sense, yeah. I think I’ve done that myself before, now that I think of it…
I have never seen anchovies in a Caesar salad. Is it a regional thing?
Edit: It’s in the dressing, right. My bad.
You say it like my definition is the weird and unconventional one. The term literally says “passive” income. The conventional definition is “you did something once and profit from it over time without putting any or very little effort”.
In case of your weird and unnatural example, if the sale process is automated, and you can go do other work in the meantime or just sit in an arm chair and sip beer while watching TV, then yes, it’s passive income.
Your example also implies that you had some other income to sustain you while you were working on these widgets and you shifted the income from what could’ve been active income to be passive income later.
In other words, you invested into these widgets and are now receiving dividends.
Please see my other comments in this thread, you have a wing definition of “passive income”, please look it up.
You just have a skewed definition of “passive income”. All passive income implies at least some* ammount of work in advance. Yes, even “being a landlord” passive income requires you to do some work in advance, depending on the circumstances. You need to save enough capital to purchase a property, then make it rentable and find tenants. Is it a lot of work? Depends on the landlord, but some is required.
No it’s not. It’s “definitionally” income that’s passive, i.e. you’re not actively doing anything for it (any more). In other words, you can put a some or a lot of work in advance and then receive income over time, passively. A short list of examples:
As a software dev I know what it entails. It can be your job AND your passive income.
Idk. All of my “landlords” did it themselves. But I’ve never lived in the US.
But again, it’s not my point. See my other comments for the explanation.
Regardless of your views on whether or not landlords deserve their income, it’s irrelevant to the point I’m making. The are other ways of having a passive income besides being a landlord; ways that are arguably “earned”.
Sure, but it’s still passive income. Being a landlord is not the only way of having a passive income. And I’m criticizing the way it’s defined.
You choose to ignore the key point of the comment. I also listed apps/games. Technically, I may choose not to maintain the API. It might not remain relevant or profitable for very long, but I can just ignore it.
Besides, being a landlord also requires constant maintenance. It’s just that the income is arguably disproportionate to the work done.
I don’t think that’s a fair or accurate definition. If I programmed a paid piece of software*, or a paid API, that I don’t intent to upgrade much, that’s passive income, which is earned.
What? Sorry, I don’t speak frog.

Cause it’s rimming, guys.
