They are allowing the largest software company in the world, and the third largest company in the world by market cap, to purchase the largest game software company in the US (non first party).  That is fucking horrible.

Where are you getting this from Microsoft is MASSIVE compared to Sony which itself is not “small”

I don’t think Sony is going anywhere. The only losers here are the gamers. 

It’s bad optics if your internationally-marketed blank check-budgeted fantasy world of magical humans is populated like a West Virginia renaissance faire.

The point of a Slim model is the same as it always is, to streamline production and cut costs. No matter when you introduce a revision there’s always going to be that period where they still have old models they need to sell, but you also have to consider the people out there (like myself) who have been holding out…

No, I think they’re right. You need to take into account how much work and time you will need to put into selling these. A good portion of these may never be sold (which is why they’re still here a decade or more later). On top of that many of them have stickers on the cases or don’t have cases at all. Peripherals are…

Reading the ad, it sounds like it was part-serious, part hoping for a lottery ticket.

Gotta love manufactured scarcity.

It’s unclear why they refunded?  I think I can clear this up.  They did it... for the lulz.

Your link to the remaster is to Steam, which is only the original game. The Remastered is an Epic PC exclusive.

I thought I’d read somewhere that he sold the rights for the Shawshank movie for $1000 (and then gave back the $1000 after seeing the brilliant film adaptation).  

On the day before the blackout began on June 12th, Similarweb logged more than 57 million daily visits to Reddit across desktop and mobile web clients.

I mean, a lot of them just said “we’ll enforce only Reddit sitewide rules” and no sub-specific rules, thus allowing anything to be posted. They assumed people would start posting NSFW so they marked the subs accordingly. They literally didn't do anything wrong.

...except the “inmates” are already the ones “running the asylum”?

And Ironically, none of them gets me an actual Final Fantasy Game.  

The first generation rotoscoping on the 35mm theatrical trailer for Intellivision was super cool. I haven’t seen an earlier example, but I may be mistaken. 

I’ll never stop forgetting about this commercial
