They live in Washington DC ... in Georgetown, even.

But they do go out of their way to look at Christmas light displays. Sure, that’s seasonal, but still... should the government throw a fit about it?

I’ve seen people put Confederate flags in their windows. If that’s free speech, robots are free speech.

Also Sony: Hey, that WiiU was pretty dynamite.  Let’s make our own!

I mean accurate lol, Sony burned a lot of bridges with how they handled the vita.

Mostly commenting to ungrey you, because you have a good point. But it’s not the one I’m trying to make. I’m simply stating that it’s not the catastrophe they’re making it out to be. Would I recommend it to anyone? Hell no. Absolutely not. But it’s not The Room.

What an absurd attempt to make drama out of one dude just deciding he doesn’t want to direct some movies, and everyone involved being better off for it.

I think Gizmodo, out of all news sources, explains the situation a little better, but people are going to take this out of context because no one reads anymore.

Headline: implies some specific hostility towards Gunn or Gunn’s DC plans from Affleck

Someday--maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday--we will finally have run out of things to say about that stupid Justice League movie.

Ben Affleck: I don’t want to squander any more of my life, of which I have a limited amount.

Off the top of my head, Sony has paid to keep the following third-party content off of Xbox (either permanently or temporarily) during the PS4 and PS5 generations:

No consequences? Right now the studio can’t make any money at all. Their daily revenue is a big fat zero. That sounds like serious consequences to me. I know if my employer made zero money they wouldn’t be able to keep paying their employees for very long. He could put the company out of business if it goes on long…

As a prior victim of DMCA takedown abuse on YouTube, I thought we had it bad. But if any Joe Schmoe can use it to yoink entire games off storefronts too, then that’s absolutely fucking broken and a nightmare for game devs.

They don’t actually believe that. They know exactly how much revenue they get from CoD and what percentage of their total revenue it represents (under 10% in all likelihood). They already have a very strong portfolio of exclusive IPs that allow them to compete effectively in the console market. They don’t need CoD to…

You do realize that subscription revenue is just a small portion of each company’s total revenue, right? Sony, Nintendo and MS make the bulk of their gaming revenue from software sales. In the console software market, Sony has more than double the share of MS.

I think you might be underestimating how effective this framing is. It might be a transparent effort, but it is still extremely important because Microsoft *is* the smaller player in this market.

So you are saying the PS2 was on top but for a reason, PS3 ended up on top by the end... and xbox fell behind more recently because of themselves so that means Sony hasn’t dominated them? Sounds like you are affirming Microsoft’s claim to me...

The only people crying about a monopoly and how this is bad are sony fanboys who think exclusives are bad when it isn’t on their preferred system.

Becauaw I don't think it would lead to a monopoly as Nintendo would never sell and Sony wouldn't to Microsoft. Again people are looking at MS as a whole whereas ita Game division is very much in third place in the realm where these regulations would apply for the sale.
