Omg it really feels like that sometimes.

The youtubers who paint Linux as extremely unstable/not appropriate for gaming almost come across as sponsored by Microsoft. (Not to mention the overemphasis of the ubiquity of adobe suite users i.e. confirmation bias)

Been playing for the first time Disco Elysium, but also have Kingdom Come:Deliverance and Titanfall 2 (Although I played it already 6 years ago) installed on my PC after getting them on deep sale recently.

Because the C suite can blame market forces, not the product.

The layoffs aren't about "removing bad eggs", it's about cost cutting.

Decision makers aren't going to fire themselves of course, even if they should for steering the ship into this situation.

I disagree, as a Firefox mobile daily driver I will confirm it has extensions. Dark mode reader and ublock origin, does one need anything else?

I would imagine this game is going to be the best implementation of the dualsense haptics yet. Astros Playroom being the current best.

That's true, but I'd imagine running a site like twitter actively costs money. If advertisers aren't paying, who is? Do they go to their investors and ask for money? For how long could Elon personally afford to run Twitter with all of its development costs?

Thank you for your sacrifice

I've been frugally waiting for 90% off for literally years. Finally I can play this game.

I'd love to see it fail completely. I'm hoping that musk makes it a site that you have to pay a subscription to see anything at all on there so everyone can finally give up on it.

Bad headline but reasonable argument within. Concord probably failed for the reasons people outlined, sure.

The point is that peoples fingers aren't quite as on the pulse of what will make something successful as what we give ourselves credit for. We attribute reasons for something's success or failure after the fact.

Personally, I don't know what makes a hero shooter successful or not. A game like this could be going gangbusters for some reason in 6 months time and I would probably not understand why. I say that as someone who's been an avid gamer over the last 30 years.

Hmmm.. okay it sounds like the subscription model does actually make some sense for devices that need to maintain an internet connection/IoT applications. Thanks for taking the time to enlighten me.
