Hey, even approval to post a “fuck you” exit letter works, because here we are! Click click click! $0.05 CPM at a time. Godspeed, just know it doesn’t get better because everything is terrible and journalism-via-capitalism is a nightmare ;).
Maybe it’s not a perfect solution, but why not simply have different classes within a sport? Wrestling has weight classes, but is still divided into “men’s” and “women’s” which seems ridiculous when you already have a built-in class system within the sport. It should be: you’re in the featherweight class, you’re a…
Turns out Game Pass has been around a lot longer than we realized, we just had to go digging.
After initial playtesting, it turned out winning summoned forth a hoard of demons, and once they nerfed that people just didn’t want to play anymore.
It could go that way, but in the short term it’s going to totally be Gamepass on PC/Xbox and everyone else has to pay full price - and hey, Sony even gets the extra 10 bucks for the PS5 upcharge that is nothing more than a setting toggle from a software perspective!
It’s fun to see people fail to understand the differences between “monopoly” (which in the modern world, basically can’t technically even exist) and “anticompetitive practices” (which totally exist, but are incredibly difficult to enforce).
Because, from the article(emphasis mine):
Anybody who thinks MS is trying to lock down an ecosystem has never paid attention to the business model that MS has cultivated since they started. The whole entire point has always been to own the software and distribution. If anything, creating Xbox was an anomaly, and even then they wanted SEGA or other pubs…
Once again, “directly caused” has nothing to do with it. The “cause” is that this was an unwarranted, and unstable act. It doesn’t matter if the spit on the guy’s dog or whatever. That is not “cause” for someone to do something like this.
I’m sorry, but no “provocation” at a business warrants what that dude did in any way. Massive amounts of property damage, threatening people’s safety and HOLDING THEM HOSTAGE is in no way justifiable.
Breaking News: Honda has stopped production on 2020 Honda Civics.
My area had several school districts that were forced to shut down because there weren’t enough uninfected bus drivers to bring kids into school, and (with admittedly poor planning or political pressure) were not able to go to virtual learning on short notice.
Obviously, nobody should be subjected to harassment from customers. And if you view game development as a service-based industry instead of a product-based industry (which, of course, is the direction of the industry as we are painfully aware), devs are going to be subjected to the same kind of customer harshness as…
Agreed, I got a Kishi on a whim when Game Pass started adding more cloud options, and it works great. There’s something pretty surreal about playing full-blown Xbox games on the phone. I wouldn’t use it as a primary device or anything, but that’s more my own laziness of having to take off my (admittedly bulky) phone ca…
“Happy Gift Day, here is a shirt I wore, please feel free to wash it if you’d like, but I can assure you it holds sweat properly!”
Not for nothing, but this is the most esoteric complaint I’ve heard to date. Since we’re sharing individual opinions of experiences, Sony’s UI is phenomenally bad and seems almost intentionally hostile. And I personally don’t give a rat’s ass about screenshots. So, for me, the PS5 stays powered off in my…
I was replying to your comment, “That does make a lot of sense in theory. I wonder how likely it is in practice though.”
The point being, there are plenty of examples of “practice,” specifically in the US, of what labor unions and laws do. Your comment appeared to be in regard to the “theory” of labor unions advocating…
SAG represents minimum standards for fair wages and treatment of workers. It does not, however, negotiate individual contracts and/or bonuses, ‘featured actor’ credits, etc. If you have an opinion on that particular industry and organization, I’m sure you’re also familiar with stories like “actor X saved X production…
