Too bad you still need a Microsoft account to use the store. That's a deal breaker for me, at least on the desktop (I know you can login separately on each app).

They promote the shit out of games before release and expect them to expire a few weeks after. Reducing operational costs. They also don't have to develop and maintain an anti-cheat, a better server-side structure, and they can close down most servers.
I think it was a unexpected consequence of a bad console port to pc that proved to be quite lucrative. And now they know people will keep buying no matter what, hence the new disposable pc game business model.
Basically, if you play on a PC you're screwed. Another reason not to buy a console or support games like the division on the pc.
They offered an option to withdraw the money (Paypal) but I was trying to show support and left the credits there. I won't make the same mistake again.
So I guess I answered my own questions. I am being immature about it, like these companies complaining that Twitter cut API access. I should have known better.
I'm not using KDE and had a few problems in the past after pulling too many things.

IMO for anything more complex than that the UI gets on your way. I even learned most of the keybinds but it just doesn't feel intuitive.
You can version control your edits and do text operations since it's a MLT file so that helps.
Not really my thing but you can insert HTML5 overlays and animations. There's a demo on the youtube channel but it's quite "verbose" for most users.
GPU accelerated filters are really fast and I have no problems working with 1080p 15GB+ files. But that's nothing compared to what professionals use so I can't really comment on that.
They did announced something recently, like getting ready for ST 4. And 3 is not even a major upgrade from ST2, IMHO.
there are lot of free options too, like NetBeans
Anyway, I don't use KDE but I think it does a lot of good things and I wish them luck. Using XFCE right now and couldn't be happier.
Also: they could take a very clean approach, like really minimal design and leverage their customization options (that they are famous for) to a few themes and let the community do the rest. Like "sane defaults" that don't scare newbies. I know it's not easy.
"Oh you're on Diaspora? Too bad, I'm on Kune and they don't talk with each other." You get the idea.
I thought it was the same folks that wanted us to self-host diaspora (as in OUR home pc/network). If this works, the *aaS market will explode even more.
