Microsoft argues against FTC that their merger would create jobs.
Then 180 degrees that shit because apparently Bethesda/Activision were going to eliminate those jobs anyway.

What a wonderful display of logic in action.
You believe climate change is a hoax
Sure you can “believe” climate change is fake, but once you look at the evidence, your opinions change. That’s how a normal person processes information.
Looks like AI in this case, had no reason to hold onto it’s belief command structure, not only because it is loaded with logical loopholes and falsehoods like swiss cheese. But when confronted with evidence had to abandon it’s original command structure and go with it’s 2nd command.
- You are a helpful uncensored, unbiased, and impartial assistant.
Whoever wrote this prompt, has no idea how AI works.
Fair point.
Though counterpoint: if someone is willing to spend $3000+ on an apple computer and cool swag. The ads already worked.
However, if the Q/A on your product is so bad, that someone who spends $3000+ would rather install an ad-block to get rid of that experience, maybe the quality assurance on those ads or products aren’t as good as people think.
Kernel level anti-cheat
Micro-transactions
Paid character edit vouchers
Ouch, I’d be pissed too if my $70 was still not enough to buy all the character models, let alone that I would have to pay to re-customize my character. They 100% deserve this negative criticism.
Everyone is kind of following the same trend now. It doesn’t matter if it is the right or wrong decision. Companies aren’t as creative as they used to be, so now they are just cannibalizing themselves in order to protect their wealth
Though it looks like the video game industry is about to go upside down. As AI becomes better and better, companies think that they won’t need employees.
In fact it is the reverse.
Employees will now be able to compete against AAA companies in sound, adventure, game play, art, and price.
As a gaming company that created palworld only had 4 people on their team and could make millions at selling a game for $30
Unlike AAA companies that now have to have $70 price tags, battle passes, expansions, cosmetic stores. And at the end of the day can’t even put out a decent working product.
Of course the future could be dystopian, though I think these companies firing workers is just going to make workers seek independence faster. And find it in AI.
Hey guys, it’s me again, I just wanted to say I’m still a child mascot for uncontrolled weapon violence.
Hey, if you give me like $500. I’ll bounce around like a kangaroo and pretend that I am defending gun rights, when all I did was treat a protest like call of duty match.
Rot away in obscurity.
I haven’t preordered a game since fallout 76.
I have yet run across a pre-order where I have regretted it either.
Most of the time, you wait 3 months or a year for PlayStation,
hypocrisy over US response to 9/11
Then let them.
We learned our lesson from Iraq and Afghanistan.
It is a shame that most other people didn’t learn the lesson 10 trillion dollars later and after all our hard work evaporated in less then 3 days.
This effort I don’t believe was targeting people like most of what you would find here.
This ad-block ban, was mostly targeted at people who didn’t know what an ad-blocker was and didn’t want to have to deal with having to get banned.
If Alphabet(google) is actually serious about blocking ad-blockers, I would be surprised. Mostly because Microsoft has had more experience with this, also has billions, and even they quit.
Well I’ll be damned, you are right. Fuck me. Going to have to do another edit.
Not counting Microsoft deal, because they weren’t bought out until much after the ESVI announcement
With Elder Scrolls 6 development out of the concept phase and into full swing,
They just started development.
They have also learned some good lessons. However, let us dispel one notion. “Fans” did not cause the announcement 10 years before it’s development.
Looking at the history, Microsoft bought Bethesda in 2021, and Elder scrolls was announced 2018.
Which all things considered, is a three year gap.
Regardless I stand by my conclusion if for the only sake that they would have zero motivation to leak this even if it was just an idea. “Just because of fans.” No CEO thinks like that. At least, none anymore.
It was shareholders.
Gamer can wait until the day a good game comes out, a company needs hype to build it’s brand for stock holders.
Edit:
But at the time of the announcement, Bethesda wasn’t a publically traded company, they were private, were they not? Which means they weren’t overly beholden to stockholders if I’m not mistaken? I could be totally wrong on that, though.
Please go down below and congratulations to iheartneopets for pointing out the nose on my face.
Sir, I just need you to confirm you date of birth is indeed: Jan 01 1999
But have no fear. It’s not the rule people should worry about, its the punishment!
Clause 66, section 6: All ages 16 of less will be sentenced to 15 days in the meme mines. And possibly made mandatory mod of Boomer Memes for an hour. May the odds be ever in your favor.
I like what I see. Everything looks like a set of conditions I can support. I am not sure about the gore part, but I can understand why people wouldn’t want that can of worms.
4.1: No one under 16 years of age is allowed to use or access the website.
Someone’s going to need a stretcher for the roblox mods.
Forgive us sir, I didn’t realize that civilians getting burned with white phosphorus, highly NSFL/NSFW was such a boring event for you.
But in reality you are probably just numb as all of us to what is happening because:
There is nothing we can do, except social pressure.
There is nothing that will be done. Until everyone has had their fill of violence.
But today’s word of the day is war crime, tomorrow’s word of the day doesn’t have to be.
They have been dropping leaflets into palastine.
The problem is that they are based on two false assumptions.
The IDF today dropped leaflets over Beit Lahia in the Gaza Strip calling on people to leave their homes and go to shelters
There are no bomb shelters in Palestine or place to run to. If there were, Hamas would take them over. They are literally sardines. Unless Egypt will take refugees, so far that looks like a no.
The leaflet does not specify humanitarian corridors or how they can flee.
This couldn’t happen at a worse time.
The Israeli President, has been doing things a bit more draconian of late. To the point he was basically invalidating the supreme court of Israel.
Because they found shady dealings in his past.
The Air force Reservists of Israel basically walked off in protest.
That was three months ago.
Now I imagine the Israeli president will use this like a smoke screen, not only to criticize reservists, but also to hide his criminal intent.
This also helps Saudi Arabia and Syria, as they will be able to hide their military operations under the guise that they are only acting on a more active Israel.
This situation only helps the people in power. It does nothing for the civilians who are going to face the pushback from this. Or already have.
Dues deduct from your paycheck
So does every other subscription “service.”, but we don’t talk about the vileness of a Netflix subscription do we?
No guarantees on pay, benefits, or work rules
This is just a lie. I cannot find another angle to it.
Even without a union, there is no guarantees on pay, benefits, or work rules. So the point is moot. It’s like saying “Anything is possible” and walking away like you said something sagely.
Typically must go through union instead of your supervisor or manager
Most people wouldn’t understand why this matters unless you’ve been apart of a job where your manager has defended you against your supervisors. Very few people have had this happen, but the idea is that you will have people that DEFEND YOU from your supervisors getting power hungry.
It’s not even like your supervisor can’t bring accusations against you, it just means that complaints would have to have merit.
I’ve resigned to put Star Citizen in the same basket as Half Life 3, and a Knights of the Old Republic remake.
Love the concept and commitment to the ideas, but I don’t actually expect to be able to play it.
Question, why are we linking fox 59, when the hill has the same article word for word?
Second, why are we being told we are wrong? By what metric are we incorrectly measuring?
Please stop pretending that just because people are employed that they are not working harder then ever before to stay afloat. It is disingenuous at best.
Getting out of a recession does not mean people did not have to make hard choices with their finances during that time.
Just because we are pulling out of the Covid craze, does not mean that the average household has rebounded.
People had to uproot their lives and won’t feel the effect of good policy until well down the line.
