A billionaire’s kid ruined a perfectly functional company/division due to being a poor judge of character and overly greedy?

Here’s my surprised face: -_-

DA2 had it IIRC but Inquisition didn’t, and it looks like it’s not in Veilguard because overview makes it look more like modern FF games which definitely don’t have anything like that.

So glad that the court system is working efficiently. This happened in 2020 and we’re only just now going to trial for it in 2024.

There’s… no details at all other than “it’s happening”?

Why even announce this with no details, Knowing it’s gonna piss people off? What were sag-aftra and Replica hoping for here?

Again, I don’t necessarily think that he wasn’t overly involved in pursuing this direction, but unless it’s proven in court, no one can sue him for losing their job over it.

I’m pretty sure that you generally can’t do that, in the US at least.

A C-level officer is required generally to act in the best interest of the company, but as long as the genuinely think that what they were doing was an attempt to improve the company in some way, you’d be hard-pressed to ever prove that they weren’t acting in the best interest. You’d have to find physical proof that they were intentionally sabotaging the company, and (probably) no one who is smart enough to become a CEO is going to do that.

I mean that might be true, but those key reseller sites are also often grey-market. Sometimes they are legit, but sometimes they resell keys they bought with stolen credit cards etc.

I personally wouldn’t buy from a site that I couldn’t easily verify is legit (steam, gog, hb, etc)

Multiple indie developers I’ve seen (wube who makes factorio has been very vocal about it) have complained about losing significant amounts of money from grey/black market keys since they end up being on the hook for fees when people do credit card chargebacks.

He already did that with the Tesla models

S3XY

Then they’d have a harder time charging $2/month for it.

How likely do we think this is to be the interop format that the big name messaging apps use to support that EU regulation to allow cross app messaging?

It looks like maybe is showing the username as opposed to the display name. The username is “@autotldr@lemmings.world” and then the display name is “AutoTL;DR”, so I think you’re seeing it correctly you’re just seeing a different thing.

That’s not a good metaphor. A better one would be:

“A building is flooding and you need to invent the concept of a mop. While you are plugging the leak, send one of your people to start working on creating a mop to use later, everyone in the room can’t be plugging the hole anyway.”

Sequestration tech isn’t there at the moment. If we wait until we we figure out green energy entirely, we will then have to wait again while we figure out sequestration.

We need to be doing both, but we need them to have separate budgets and separate people working on them, because otherwise, yeah, we’ll be in a bad situation where we are diverting green energy time/money into sequestration. The problem is that we are fighting against people who don’t want to spend any money on any of it. If the fossil fuel people want to work on sequestration instead of green energy, fine, let them. Hell, force them to. Pass laws making them be net-neutral on carbon and that can either be from shutting down plants or capturing everything they put out. If they don’t choose to shut down, they’ll spend R&D on capture, and we can use that tech more widely in the decades to come.

Yeah, I’ve said before that as much as people liked to hate on Chris Metzen, it seems that when he left it was a massive migration of optimistic talents out of the company. Now, that’s not to say that he caused people to leave, as opposed to him leaving for the same reason that everyone else did, but I’ve looked at it as a big turning point in blizzard’s history of being generally good-natured.

… unless

Same. I used GPM, then when they added YouTube Premium, I used that too. When they killed GPM in favor of YTM, I dropped the entire service.

Windows as an OS has absolutely been showing ads for a long time. Ads for their own stuff for the most part, but those are still ads. They pop stuff up all over the place advocating for paid OneDrive plans or Office 365 or whatever.

Dreamcast was released at a bad time, DVD components were still expensive so if they’d included a DVD drive it would have provided some future-proofing, but the console would have been even more expensive than it already was

Well the official app uses a new internal (graphql iirc) API, so that would be nice but it wouldn’t really work as easily as that.

Literally final fantasy 16 is a Sony exclusive right now, so it’s not like anyone can even claim it’s a historical thing

You say perfect, but my perfect platform doesn’t have microblogging at all, so that feature missing would be the best.

My point being that perfect is subjective
