Microsoft can use its financial muscle to keep gamepass games free. This will push consumers to Microsoft even if the quality of the games isn’t the same as Sony.

People don’t prioritize quality, we’ve seen this in the industry over and over, people prefer cheap prices. Which is why right now most of the products are shit, because people kept buying low quality for cheap. And the same will happen with Microsoft, most of the world would rather have free gamepass games for new games than having to wait years until they become available in Sony’s free tier.

This is how Microsoft will penetrate the market. I already have friends moving to Xbox because it is cheaper. Microsoft isn’t a monopoly right now, but this is a long term play. Microsoft is a whale, Sony is a shrimp. Microsoft can kill Sony using its financial muscle, just like Walmart kills local competitors.

Microsoft id going to fuck the whole gaming industry with their monopoly.

Hey, I see you have experience with Lemmy and I don’t see any place to ask this type of questions.

I was checking a community in an instance and realized that there were no federated posts. Are federated posts only visible from the ALL view? I was hoping for community browsing to also have a federated experience to enhance content. For example, if I want to browse the Gaming community of an instance, why shouldn’t I see gaming communities from other instances?

I understand this type of federation would require more interaction than instance to instance federation, but still, would be amazing to see more content when checking communities.

I can’t feel anything. That’s what she said :(

What? There are no horny women dying to know me?

Isn’t general relativity just a way to interpret reality instead of what reality is?

I mean, just a very accurate model of reality. But anything can be anything in any model, which is cool as long as the model has some kind of utility.

(?)

Or, are we accepting that objectively gravity is definetely not a force?

Isn’t federation a two way contract? Or is it enabled by default on instances and only blacklisted?

The eternal echoes of humanity endure, unyielding to time’s capricious grasp.

And remember, if the page actually had useful content that wasn’t click bait or some shit. Be nice… remove the adblocker and reload.

They gotta pay bills too, having infrastructure deployed to serve content is not free. Don’t kill their business if they have quality content.

Then you go with an adblock detection blocker detection blocker. Dhu.

Capitalism generally allows for a range of ownership structures, including traditional privately owned businesses, publicly traded corporations, and worker-owned enterprises.

I guess an argument would be that privately owned companies are already too wealthy to allow for fair market competition, but in worker owned companies nothing is stopping them from becoming large corporations that can also do everything a private lobbyist company does. If you don’t believe me, just look at your democratically elected capitalist government. Just because something is democratic doesn’t mean it will be ethical or fair internally or externally.

Yeha, if they are pushing this, the least they can do is lower the amount of ads.

2 ads before a video starts is just too much. Also the constant ads during the videos. Screw that.

No more YouTube for me I guess.
