It creeped me out that I didn’t find a camera in the bedroom. There was one pointing at the bathroom and one at the general living room and kitchen area. The bedroom had so many decorations that I couldn’t tell if there was a hidden camera. I made sure to only change in the bathroom with the door closed, but I (female, traveling alone) still felt uneasy. Up until then I stayed in Airbnbs plenty of times but I haven't stayed in one since then and don't plan to unless there's no other choice.

I booked an AirBnb in Spain, no cameras mentioned in the listing. When I arrived, I found two, one of them pointed at the bathroom door, so most of the bathroom was visible when the door was open. Also, even though photos mostly matched the apartment, the address in the listing was not the real address. The host directed me to a different address in private messages. Reported it all to AirBnb, they ignored it.
The author infringed on Facebook name and possibly the logo too. Facebook sent a notice to Google. Google complied with the law and removed the extension. Yet the author blames Google for all this.

How would anyone check if there's an answer to a question without posting the question?

What's with those general statements that don't bring any new information? I can't downvote you but if you have constructive feedback please provide it. Don't just write "no, you are wrong" or "there's more to it" statements without any explanation.
Your answer is needlessly rude yet again.
So he's guilty of too optimistic estimations. Who isn't?

Thank you very much for answering and for sharing the document. I am currently working on my first platformer so I am eager to read everything I can find about making good platformers.

I am curious about your experience. Would you name any games that you worked on?

You wrote: "Microsoft owns the idea if they want to. By participating in the competition we (and I) agreed that Microsoft can claim rights over the idea and use it as they want."

I think you are wrong about it and Microsoft doesn't own those ideas. Can you link to terms or rules where it says what you claim?
