Yes, you’re all doing it wrong…by doing it at all.

What deadlines? Squadron 42 was supposed to release in 2016…

That ship has sailed.

What dumbass is letting AI post articles without human oversight? That’s like rule one of what not to do.

Did we already forget that BG3 existed like once year later…?

These people didn’t play Witcher 3. It’s mostly right wing rage bait podcasts. They’ll move on to a different side thing to be mad about in a few days.

… Less traceable in that the price of the coin going up and them cashing out isn’t a direct line from the government coffers to their pocket.

I’m aware it’s a public ledger.

That’s exactly what the plan is. They’re funneling themselves government money, but in a way that’s less traceable

My toddler had a respiratory issue several days before Christmas. Hospitalized for a few days. Released a few days before Christmas. We got home. Pipes froze that very day, for several days. So no water in the house. We were supposed to travel, but due to the hospital and weather were stuck home, so we had to scramble to get a few Xmas things together for the kids. Luckily midway through Xmas, the pipes finally thawed - Christmas miracle, we could shower.

Sites like these are why amazon has been using more coupons at check out instead of straight discounts. Messes with the price tracking

Boomers’ children are grown ass adults with their own kids now. Those parents are the ones who grew up playing games. This dumbass narrative doesn’t play anymore

Ghosts

Most people, when speaking about a gaming device, aren’t talking about the ability to play things from 40 years ago that you could run on a smart toaster

AI is definitely already here. AI will be scraping anything public facing it can reach

Reddit went ban happy and nuked my 13 year old account over attempting to appeal a mod power tripping over an innocent comment they didn’t like.

Which was after the api think killed RiF

Why don’t they just fix their game instead?

Only by the rich people who are actually stealing from us. PPP loan forgiveness for their litany of fraudulent claims…

Do you know why 30% was chosen? It was the typical cut retail took. Physical stores selling goods take that much to cover their lease, logistics in moving those good to the store and employees.

Online stores do not share most of those costs. 30% is not needed.

No it wasn’t. We were taking about streams monopoly status and epic being one of the few alternatives.

YOU were the one trying to deflect the conversation into business viability. Which your entire side tangent really only reinforces how obscene the monopoly hold off stream is, that trying to break into the market is so expensive.

Well yeah, fighting for market share against an entrenched monopoly isn’t cheap. That’s not a reason to cheer on the monopoly though.

It’s limited time, but also the selection these last few years has felt very uninspired. Everything is extremely derivative and been done to death.

There was a mass consolidation of developers/publishers recently, on top of further extended development cycles that has really limited any kind of variety we might have seen.
