I think I’ve reached the point where no one will be able to convince me that Star Citizen is not a money laundering front.
It's the word of the day every day they be doing war crimes.
Not only is it impossible to evacuate that many people in that short a time, but they're basically declaring that they're going to use their military to targer and kill civilians.
Which is a war crime.
"Hamas did it first" doesn't give them a pass here. If it's not ok for Hamas, it's not ok for the Israeli state. And inverting that, if it is ok for the Israeli state…

People spending more time with fewer games is not a reason, in publishers' minds, to reverse course. It's the intended outcome.
Having the same number of people (or near the same number) playing fewer games, and filling those games with monetization features is cheaper and easier to maintain than having a broad and growing library of titles.
Remember, the ideal for publishers is to have one game that everyone plays that has no content outside of a "spend money" button that players hit over and over again. That's the cheapest product they can put out, and it gives them all the money. They're all seeking everything-for-nothing relationships with customers.

Time to go watch Junkball videos all morning.
Especially when they can just type in a provocative prompt and get 500 words of generic rage bait in a second.
VR is Guitar Hero if Guitar Hero was $500.
VR continues to make more sense as an arcade-like attraction than as a consumer product.
Except for the part where I would have to wear a headset that 5000 other people have also worn. (And except for the VR sickness that, it turns out, I’m very sensitive to).
“If you want me back, you value me,” Sucher told Insider.
Wow, I know business schools are filled with out of touch simps for the ownership class, but I still wasn’t prepared for this line.
Like, what was the message that was sent with the layoff? And how does it colour the interpretation of everything else? What good is being “valued” by the ownership class today when it means absolutely nothing for you tomorrow?
It speaks volumes, really, that she thinks being valued by a business - whose goals are explicitly to siphon wealth that workers create into the hands of owners - is something we should feel good about.
Glad to hear the explosion has been contained and that you can stand down red alert.
Accurate. I’d like to go home now.
