I’m a sub to their services and use it for travel and getting UK shows on BBC that don’t come to the US. Works great and no complaints.

In my freetime, I play games, play with gadgets, solve Rubik’s cubes, play rando’s on Lichess, and take lots of naps with my 6 cats.

It’s a fun game but an ultra competitive market. Either show you’re in it for the long haul or most players will never give you a chance.
I don’t think folks expect to restart when the pre-order perk is 3-days early access… But we live in a world with day one patches on every single game too 🙃
If they were actually concerned about it, Valve could have done real NDA’s and/or plastered the build info and user name on-screen like most game tests. They’ve done it in the past so I assume this was a calculated risk/choice.
Worked for Blizzard before all the Xbox layoffs… The confusing actions are mainly because the gaming division is now it’s own company within Microsoft and responsible for its budget and making revenue for the first time in XBOX’s history. The leadership level all got promotions and new titles, they shared new org charts to everyone, and then the layoffs and closures began almost immediately. It’s no longer about making their user base grow but about making money so expect their games everywhere and to see Game Pass lose features and raise prices.
I was paying for it at a legacy price still but that gets wiped out with this I guess. Canceled.
I was initially shocked but that’s like 4 months away from the initial launch. I’m fine with that.
The only way the Fediverse gets ready is by going thru the growing pains that Reddit had to when we all fled from Digg. It also wasn’t ready then but the community stepped up and became mods and built apps and made it awesome. We will do it again… and this time it’ll be distributed and much harder for one person to screw over all of us
I do but try to remind myself that “wasting my time” is a concept that capitalism has forced on us bc they want us to feel guilty when not productive.
Just the idea/concept felt off… someone should have asked why we need a whole game about a side-character that no one asked for
Ooof… sad for all those devs, but wow was that game was a mistake from the start
What’s with every big tech company trying to destroy their userbase this year?
I moved off a while ago at this point… I still have to use some of it because of work being on G-Suites but otherwise my personal stuff has moved.
Doesn’t seem that surprising since AMD has its chips in all the consoles. Probably just makes the PC and Xbox version extra similar
I’ve been happy to see a few webkit browsers on Mac recently (like SigmaOS). Hoping others follow suit since that team seems to be doing good work again
It’s no more cheating than scrubbing through StackOverflow posts for help. Just a lot quicker.
They did a real good job with Redfall after the last purchase. And Starfield keeps getting delayed… gotta release good exclusives to eliminate anybody lol
I guess that’s $2 for Ultimate though. If you’re paying for it, that’s the tier to get.
I’ve been on the beta for a while and like it much more than the old design. It also comes with some improvements like the notes feature
I don’t get why? It’s a great game
