Counterpoint: Society should be pressuring people not to increase food waste just because they can afford throw stuff away for no reason.

But they hit so many buzzwords. 20 year old buzzwords even!
Yeah I understand they were all 6th gen. My point was just that it doesn’t really make sense to blame the Dreamcast failure on its timing. Dates also matter:
Late 98 was release in Japan
Late 99 was release worldwide
Early 2000 was PS2 in Japan
Late 2000 was PS2 worldwide
Early 2001 Dreamcast was killed
Late 2001/Early 2002 Gamecube and Xbox
The meme makes it look like the Dreamcast popped up late, but timing was not the reason for it’s demise at all. PlayStation dominating the market, as you mentioned, was probably the biggest one. People knew the PS2 was around the corner and the Dreamcast had barely been out in the EU by the time the PS2 was strutting it’s stuff on the Japanese market.
Yeah, I’m of the opinion the Saturn was the real problem. It was not a bad step forward compared to the Megadrive, but compared to the PS1 it was nowhere near as good.
Dreamcast was a great console. It was really ahead of it’s time with a bunch of things, the VMUs, the internet connectivity, the range of peripherals and keyboard/mouse integration. It was the first console I ever got relatively near release and never regretted it.
This is a really odd way of putting it seeing as the Dreamcast came out before the PS2 and was discontinued before the other 2 even came out.
That’s not very useful if there are no more elections.
Well for one, I immediately deleted my comment because I think I misread the post title, so didn’t want to accuse OP. How can everyone see it still to vote and reply?
Two: it’s talking about the trolley problem and letting one die. Seems transphobic to let the girl die because she revealed she had a dick (if that is indeed the reason). That implication is kind of there. At the same time it could simply be that both would be great options, which I think is what OP intended and is why I deleted my comment.
Three: it’s a shitpost and it probably doesn’t need such analysis.

Is there such a thing as a demaster? If so, this is it.
But who is going to implement the AI policy? I thought they sacked everyone.
A remaster is in no way the same as the original. I understand you’re putting forward the business reason for it being delisted, and that is probably the true reason, but that doesn’t make it less scummy.
This article makes me wonder if it was becoming insanely expensive to produce. It always seemed like an expensive choice to sign Rod Humble to make his own studio from scratch in California. They are probably very glad to get that off the expenses.
Love me some Science Data. Much better than that Normie Data you get everywhere.
It doesn’t seem likely at the moment. It’s a whole mess and it doesn’t look like the outcome is going to benefit the original creators, the usurpers, or us fans.
I’m very surprised by the discourse in this thread. I understand that people were given lots of warning, but that doesn’t excuse that they just had their purchase recinded. Why not just allow download of an old version of Minecraft Java still?
I’d consider myself a Microsoft fanboy as I’ve had Xbox live for nearly 2 decades and Game Pass since it came into existence. Removing people’s purchases for any reason is a scummy move.
What a weird article. When I think of hybrid I immediately think that means hybrid working model (some days in office some from home).
Having studios in two different countries working together doesn’t feel like a remarkable feat in this day and age and worldwide collaboration is pretty much the norm in any sizable developer.
Whatever game they end up putting out, it’s going to be Disco Elysium in name only and I hope it doesn’t fool anyone into buying it.
As other comments have said, they aren’t even doing game streaming, just mobile games. You can already download mobile games through heir app on a phone with a subscription.
And Steam didn’t really fail, it excels at streaming games around a network. Xbox games can all be streamed with game pass and its pretty good.
Or, you know, someone in need nearby. There are homeless people eating out of garbage and families using food banks everywhere. But then you’d also look like an asshole for just giving them a bunch of crusts instead of a whole slice.
How about just not buying more food than you can eat? Or save a couple of slices for the next day? Or give someone else a slice before you fill up on the inner circle of your plate of food?
