They’ve been paid. If they have bonuses that they may not get because of a lack of sales, they could easily unionize and bargain for better pay so they aren’t reliant on bonuses.

But it’s not called Self Driving, is it? It’s called Full Self Driving so I would imagine it needs to drive itself, you know, fully.

Yep, that was my bad.

Worldwide, Sony accounts for 88% of console market share. That’s pretty damn close to a monopoly, and in certain segments (Japan, and other Asian markets) it has a literal monopoly. The notion that MS acquiring ActiBlizz is going to result in everything swinging the other way around and create a MS monopoly is absurd.

I’m not defending anything. The thing you said made no sense.

Microsoft get a bigger monopoly? First off, Microsoft isn’t even close to being the market leader, and you can’t get a “bigger” monopoly.

You still don’t need a Hollywood actor, a voice actor can do the required “acting” for mo-cap.

Or, and I know this is a radical idea: stop getting movie actors, pay voice actors more, and keep your development and marketing costs lower?

Releasing Bout is a miscarriage of the small justice for all of his victims, many who were impoverished Africans in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Rwanda. Bout should never have been released. He should have had his life prolonged as possible so he spent as much time in jail as possible.

A boycott is an active campaign against an entity. A consumer saying “I don’t want to buy this” is one consumer making a choice. Even if it’s a group of consumers making this decision, it doesn’t make it a boycott. All I see in these comments is people saying they don’t want to purchase future products associated with…

This has nothing to do with screwing over anyone. As consumers we have the choice to purchase a product (that is years old, mind you) or not based on the information at hand. We are not under any obligation purchase a product that we don’t want to, regardless of motive for not wanting to buy it, whether or not one…

So because you didn’t no one else should?

Ok, so taking all this into account why would you advocate for a race to the bottom?

Hi EternalNooblet!

That’s not being cheap, that’s gaming the system so it benefits them at the expense of everyone else. If the rich were truly cheap, they wouldn’t be buying megayachts and mansions and whatever other vanity purchases they want to make.

You think $1,900 a month is enough to cover rent, food, utilities, insurance, and literally everything else, without even saving some money for rainy days?

This is a contract worker who has to pay their own taxes and provide their own benefits. The $3,000 is not take home.

The rich do spend - they spend it on themselves and often at the expense of everyone else. Those megayachts aren’t figments of the imagination.

“Record profits mostly come from expanding player base.”

Or yet another example of a poorly optimized PC port.
