They say they get around the easy linking of a single wallet address to your identity by using subaddresses. I don't think this fixes it, it merely delays it.

The number of these subaddresses are capped to prevent botting. But suppose you use this account every day for years or decades. You've meticulously allocated subaddresses for different categories of spending, assessed the risk profile of using each one, and used them throughout the years until you're out of subaddresses.

Now you're vulnerable to having your identity tied to the account since the risk of getting had goes up every time you use any of your subaccounts. And this risk only increases the more you use your Worldcoin.

Even if the biometric privacy safeguards they built in (hashing yer Mk. I orbs) work perfectly, I wouldn't use it for the reasons I mentioned above, there isn't a way to ensure transactional anonymity if your account/subaccounts can be linked to your real identity regardless of the method.

Just speculation here, but is this a sign that CDPR is tilting more towards mainstreaming GOG over prioritizing game development? Valve did exactly that with Steam and they very, very rarely release games they make any more.

Steam is a cash cow that literally just prints money for them. I'd imagine CDPR corpos to be salivating over that kind of low maintenance income that comes with owning a large digital distribution gaming platform.

From a cultural perspective, I found the Mayan counting system to be quite intuitive for a base-20 system. We're used to base 10 or base 60 (clocks) so it's interesting to think how that number system evolved in their society. Having five fingers probably helps.
