No it’s not. 2 qps is pitiful. If anything $400 is crazy expensive. I guess most of it goes to traffic/storage costs, otherwise they are being ripped off.
I haven’t built any of those, but I feel like the cookie law is profoundly stupid and I think that it’s fair to punish users for their bad voting choices.

If you want to block third party cookies you have always had a switch there in your browser options.

A total stranger? Sure, why not. That’s why I don’t care about big tech having my info.

Friends or relatives? No way.

Openmw on the other hand is slower than the original engine. I’ve found it to be too slow to be played using integrated graphics cards found in older laptops.

If you find it too slow you may want to try a cache plugin. I think automattic (the creators of Wordpress) have one.
That’s absolutely insane.
This should be compared to death rates from COVID.
