I’m surprised to read that Paradox rejected a proposal for a new Battletech game. I thought the first one made a lot of money.

PC is another of MS’s platforms with Windows. No shit they’re ok with their games being released on it when consumers are paying over a $100 for a Windows license every few years.

All it does is encourages stock buybacks. Too many CEOs are trash at running companies.

Straight out of Russia’s playbook. Support BLM protests and racist organizations at the same time. I’m not surprised China caught on. Sure would be nice if the US and China could just get along.

There’s traffic in NYC and Chicago. As long as there are roads people will drive. There will always be traffic. Public transit only affects how bad the traffic will be and limit growth of the city.

There’s no reason to speculate his motives. It’s obvious he didn’t want to buy Twitter when he was forced by courts to buy it. He was being an idiot trying to manipulate the stock price. I know it’s hard to believe a multi-billionaire can be an idiot, but it happened. There’s no 4d chess move. Rich people are fallible as everyone else.

Megathreads work on breaking news where users will want to constantly refresh. Topic megathreads never work. Not enough material is developing and no one knows when to check the megathread.

Elon is constantly in the news cycle. He seems to be imitating Trump for some reason. This X rebranding feels like a forced attempt to stay relevant. Maybe he is planning to run for governor in Texas or California. Weird.

How many posts on Twitter is in your feed? Sorting by Hot, I see only two posts on Twitter, not including your post. Same if I sort by New.

Spin it off on their own and survive like Firefox. Browsers make money putting links in the homepage and adding search engines.

Thanks for verifying the facts.

When an air force general uses a term like Judeo-Christian that is worrying. The brainwashing runs high. There’s no such thing as Judeo-Christian. Judaism and Christianity are vastly different religions albeit related. It’s a propaganda term to create an emotional tie with the US and Israel. No one says Judeo-Islam or Judeo-Mormon because it’s idiotic.

There is no true protest. Let people react how they want. I don’t understand the gatekeeping on how to respond against spez. If you want to leave Reddit completely and stay on Lemmy, great. If others want to burn the site down in protest, that’s great as well. Why are so many people on Lemmy trashing people who similarly hate how Reddit is now? As if it would make a difference anyhow if they listened to you.

We already had this with Movie Pass. Ads can only support so much. Facebook and Google work with scale. They can’t sell enough TVs for this to make a profit.

Why comment if you didn’t read the article? Also if you read the article in its entirety you would know why your take received a negative reaction. I don’t agree with deleting comments btw.

I read this last night and thought it was a good article. I’m surprised by the lack of comments.

He made Call of Duty from the ashes of Medal of Honor Allied Assault by helping form the studio Infinity Ward. He wisely bought Guitar Hero from a small device manufacturer. Under his watch Tony Hawk and Spyro made several hundred millions before he ran them into the ground. I hate his guts, but I’m not going to deny his business acumen. There’s a chance MS doesn’t even replace him and he can go further into MS executive suite.

No, MS owns the digital rights to FASA games. Harebrained Schemes did what MS couldn’t do previously. MS made fps online multiplayer Shadowrun game for Xbox which bombed. After that and a few years later Harebrained came in the picture.

Your expectations should be set on low. MS with their infinite money couldn’t do shit with Battletech and Shadowrun, not to mention Rare.
