I was just about to make the same comment.

Maybe he got asked to leave because he didn't know Yoda said, "Do or do not, there is no try."

Yeah but “everyone was pretty cool with it” doesnt get the clicks like implying there was some capital D drama.

the cloud has been microsoft’s ambition for more than 15 years. there’s definitely market research on it.

Great writeup! And, only one minor correction:

People don’t seem to get that the purpose of these agencies isn’t to just stop monopolies from happening, it’s also to prevent monopolies from happening. Yeah, cloud gaming isn’t a big thing right now, but as time marches on, everything that can is going digital, eventually it’s going to be big, that’s inevitable.

Interesting. I kind of see their point, though. They’re arguing that MS doesn’t have an incentive to make CoD et al. exclusive right now (which I disagree with), but that they could use it to fully lock down a different emerging market... which... probably yes, actually. There are enough CoD diehards in the world that…

“The CMA’s decision hinges on cloud gaming tech that no one believes in yet”

McDonald’s Monopoly, the original fast food gacha game?

Fries and soft drinks are McDonalds profit centers. The burgers break even or maybe even lose a little bit. A medium order of fries is probably 2-3 potatoes at most. It can’t cost more than a couple cents at wholesale rates.

Like how about instead of complaining, you fuckin figure it out, bud.

Maybe it’s because... let me check on the app quick... a small fry on it’s own is fucking $2.59. That’s 230 calories for $2.59. I can get a 250 calorie hamburger for $1.49 or a 400 calorie McDouble for $2.29. Like, I’m not here to do pricing strategy for you, McCEO.

“lavish gacha pull are typically only in-store deals”

When the fries cost nearly as much as the burger I stopped buying.  

My solution was to put it behind my tv.

There were rumours that DeVito Wario was the plan for the sequel to the 1993 film.

Danny DeVito has the exact opposite of Mario’s high pitched happy-go-lucky voice. He’s the antithesis of Mario.
