“Seems like the entire point of the game was obviously to comment on colonialism right?”

Wow so brave

Being an Overwatch fan in 2023 is an emotional rollercoaster, they’re all used to it by now

Cancel PVE and then have the gall to charge $15 for this? This is scummy as shit.

Other than for the weird pose and choice to use femshep... this is still weirder

Just give us more Garrus body pillows bioware. KNow where your bread is buttered.

As someone who has had to deal with executives and marketing announcing things that were in no way a done deal, I feel for the folks involved. But also, I have never once seen a project that was overpromised in this way come to a good end.

The narrative being pushed is that the LGBTQ community is a homogenous mass of pedophile groomers who want to “induct” children into their “lifestyle.”

That’s exactly the point. The app devs said they’re happy to pay for API access at—this is the important part—a reasonable price. But reddit has zero interest in offering that. This is not about reddit trying to save costs, this is entirely about them trying to price 3rd party apps out of business ahead of their IPO.

The bandwidth itself is relatively cheap. At an average 1kb payload per request, Apollo’s 7 billion monthly requests add up to about $500 on AWS (where, as far as I know, Reddit is hosted). The compute costs of retrieving and assembling the request data are much harder to estimate but they’re going to be the bigger…

Ubisofts market cap is about $3 billion. A $2 billion dollar deal seems like a massive risk for them to even consider. 

Wild economic speculations isn’t a good business model?

So, a company whose business model is buying up other companies, and whose value is solely in how many companies they can buy, lost half their money when someone said they weren’t going to give them even more money to buy more companies.

Given Amazon announced they were working on a LOTR MMO, I’m actually inclined to believe it was them.

On the contrary - by publishing it, he was technically being unethical. He may not have been the one to leak it, by publishing it, he was just as complicit in unethical behavior. It was GM’s document; GM’s data. As such, they have every single right to determine when, where, or even if it gets shared. By publishing…

He didn’t get a time-out, he got kicked out of the event entirely.. which speaks volumes about these relationships between manufacturers and “journalists”.

If you think about it, he actually got kicked out for being a journalist, instead of the good little lap-dog that manufacturers wine and dine at these events.

Okay. Here’s the first thing. I don’t support publishing internal documents they way you did — these are not the Pentagon papers, which would have never seen the light of day had it not been for reporters. Instead, you helped deflate GM’s carefully timed and choreographed big party — which they spent serious $ on, for…

I farted in a 2015 Mustang GT tester at Willow Springs right before Matt Farah got in it. At first I felt bad about it, but later I attributed it to adding a dime to his lap time so I now chalk it up as a tiny victory. Don’t tell that to Matt though.
