And the sales were sometimes a tiny chunk of what Playstation sold.



As far as severance goes there certainly worse.


I would take a new fire emblem game, but certainly not a full upgrade for it.

I upgraded to the OLED model years back and it works fine for me.


Lol. I brought up real actual things in a techno oligarch state.

It matters.


So you read and understand the decision, right? Or did you just run to Wikipedia’s article on Jimmy Wales, look at the ‘Political views’ section, and decide you were sufficiently informed to poison the well raise the alarm?

No, I know his views are kind of shitty already.

I can’t believe you would sink that low with your sourcing

Umm, you accused me of sourcing information on the site he founded.

You seem tired. You might need a nap.



The founder, Jimmy, says his life was changed after reading Ayn Rand and considers himself an actual objectivist.

Take that as you will as a starting point.



This time it matters. They are going to make her Sidney Sweeney on some sort of quest for ancient used bath water.



That is a real thing because something happened that was out of line with my expectations!


The answer could actually be much simpler. Last I checked horizon zero Dawn sold over 3 million units on steam which is nowhere near what they sold on PlayStation systems.

I wonder what the cost of porting a game that size is these days, because a few million copies may not be enough to float the endeavor.


I buy a ton of games a year after they release or so. I got the benefit of the expanded edition or whatever and it’s just as much fun for me as it was for everybody else a year or two ago.

Now I play a lot of single player stuff, so your mileage may vary.






They actually do quite a bit of legwork to track down current/original rights owners. In some instances they are even able to acquire original source.



Are we pretending that grok is a source for… anything? True or not?





Nope. You have your programmers work more hours and their productivity is just going to tank.

There are much smarter ways to do this, but the jobs are so in-demand that they can treat employees like slaves.


The code was almost impossible to port when the time came.

There are bigger things at work here.





When they talk about specific ties, sure. If they are there, cool.

Some of the wording sounds like far too broad a stroke to paint, much like the 90s/2000s panic over music and gaming.

I mean, are we completely removing guns and military? So no Doom or Wolfenstein?

Microsoft provides the Israeli military with Azure cloud and AI services that are crucial in empowering and accelerating Israel’s genocidal war on 2.3 million Palestinians in the illegally occupied Gaza Strip.

This, for instance, is pretty real, but isn’t directly about their gaming arm.
