Unity is probably developing their own video player and they wants devs to pay them for it, not use VLC for free.

I didn’t say anyone owed anyone anything. I was saying one level of frustration was understandable, one was not. Anyhow, my case happened twenty years ago when creative commons barely existed.

It depends on if the first guy is complaining about having to reinstall this specific software, or if the software borked his entire system to the point that he has to reinstall his entire OS.

Jesus is chilling with his friends, some call them disciples, but that’s not really fair. They were the only ones who believed in him when times were rough, and he treasures that. They’re having a few beers, a few laughs, enjoying life.
