That’s on Spotify, HomePods have been able to stream from other music services for years: https://screenrant.com/apple-homepod-supported-music-services-how-many/

Did you mean to link to the song “War Games”?

They aren’t discounted on the Switch at the moment. At least NA, anyway.

Edit: now they’re discounted, lol.

Pool alleged that the family's lawyer said she wants to “bankrupt” the school district and its leaders during the legal proceedings.

Isn't that a Republican's job?

I know it gets quoted a lot, but Gabe was 100% right. It boggles my mind how people in power over these streaming services just don't get it:

One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue. The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.

The "Video Games Now" part basically describes Castlevania II.

It's been so long, but I recall having fun in Sims Online. Sad it died the way it did. I may need to check this out.

Honestly, I'd much rather movies and shows be like music. I could subscribe to Apple Music, or Google Play, or YouTube Music, or Tidal, or Spotify, etc. That's competition. Not spreading it out all over. Too much fragmentation can be bad for consumers too. It's why I've been doing my best with buying stuff I really want instead of streaming it. Some stuff I can't buy, and I get that. But others, I'm doing my damnedest to own it so I don't need to subscribe for it.

Side note: I know it (streaming movies like music) is a pipe dream that'll never happen. But still, one can dream.

It's basically the Live Nation/TIcketmaster issue. They sell the tickets to the events at venues they own. Conflict of interest much?

Ah, yes. The "find out" stage of the "fuck around and find out" lesson from thinking "we can do Netflix ourselves." Nice work, assbags.
