A AAA game's source code can be like 100 Tb and with every update they'll have to reupload it. Also there's always stuff (usually music) the developers don't own and buy a cheap restricted license for.
Where did you take that number from? The source code is by far the smallest part of most games.
I took Android sources as the sample and exaggerated it a bit.
That's a lot of words just to say "I made it up"
If you think that was toxic, you must be very new to the Internet.
The part that annoys people is when you doubled down to try to save your argument instead of saying something along the lines of "yeah, you're right".
I think its more the lack of self awareness when you, with full confidence, made unverified claims and presented them as fact. That's toxic. Me pointing out that you did so was not toxic.
Have you ever tried taking a step back when you're upset or you just like digging yourself in deeper to make a fool of yourself in front of people?
Oh my! It's a good thing you're on an anonymous site, huh?
Well don't worry about that here. Worse comes to worse is anonymous people like me will bug you because you make it easy and you respond without fail, giving people exactly what they want.
Someone made something up about you once, so now your plan is to never be introspective again for the rest of your life?
Good luck with that. I'm sure the issue in that situation was definitely how self-aware you were at the time.
I'm like nicotine. Toxic, but addictive.
Just try a little. You'll love it.

Awww. Not my precious Lemmy clout! I'll have you know I once got 25 up votes on a comment and I've never submitted a post. You don't know who you're messing with.
Oh my god you're incapable of understanding sarcasm. You were the fucking weiner in school reminding the teacher of homework she forgot was due, weren't you?
So what you are saying is you were that kid. Naaaaaaarc.
You know in America threatening someone with police action is like threatening murder, right? Your pathetic tattletale behavior might kill someone someday.
So you're saying the problem is that it's infeasible to distribute the source code, which they already distribute to all of their developers with no problem, while there are numerous platforms that will host it for you for free if it's public FOSS?...
