Do you think those companies would just quetly roll over when president is compromising the second largest market for them?
It would make a lot of rich people very unhappy and next round of political donations would most certainly go to whom ever promises to undo his bullshit.
Yeah. Keeping the shower on when you piss on the toilet seems wastefull.
Not touching the animal part, but human slaves? Im confused. Do you think farming just happens without any labor? Or do you think that working on your own farm growing food for your self is slavery? Or do you see all work as slavery?
You have a point with that, but as long as consoles are easy to use they have their audience. I have both pc and ps5. I do mostly prefer my pc, but i honestly cant deny that ps has its merits. The time i have owned the one console i have needed to upgrade my pc twice.
As long as there is no convinient way for less computer savy people to play casually, consoles will be a thing.
And before you start to crusifix me, remember most people playing games do it casually and like it or not, those people are the majority and the audience that bring biggest part of the money in to the industry.
Dont know. Some things he have said makes me think he likes to walk behind his daughters.
Trading is completelly different thing. There is risk of loosing money when selling or buying at the wrong time, but the product is still allways there and you have the opportunity to appraise the price of what ever you are trading.
In gambling there is promise of payout, but you have no way of knowing what you are getting.
Where in the world trading is a form of gambling?
There are some proper games for the phones. Most of them are ports like disco elysium, octopath traveller or balatro, but because the dont get a lot of downloads in app store and google play, the platforms tend to push free games over them. And that makes sense for them, because they also profit from every transaction and ad that those games show. Quality single pay games just have one purchase per player and the audience for them is way smaller.
I personally as a consumer see so much wasted potential with mobile games. I remember when i had one hand held machine for tetris and another machine with shmup while my tamagotchi was dying somewhere. When i got gameboy it was crazy how i could take multible games with me when going on a long trip. Now we have almost always in our pocket a machine with multitudes more power than anything back then, but because how apple and google have build their enviroments devs dont have incentive to make quality single purchase products because they wont get the visibility they need.
Sites like itch.io are too small to make a difference. It would need some big player like Steam to add mobile game category in to their app, but apple and google are making it really tedious to install and update anything outside their own controlled enviroments that understandably serve for their biggest audience, who are children.
I could comment something clever and snarky here, but why bother as you are just going to delete that comment too.
I dont get it. Are you proud that US actively doing military operations in other countries? Or are you thinking unstable countries with natural resources are inherently better than nations in EU?
That is not really the insult you seem to think.
Yeah, we are trying to stop that too. We dont want weapon systems that can be disabled by unstable president.
Were you in market for buying the car when you saw those adds? If you werent then they did not loose a sale even if you hated the add.
Can you honestly say, that if you were in really need of a car and there would be opportunity to buy a yaris with good price and it would be good fit to your needs at the moment, you would pass it just because some add you saw at some point?
Was it so effective you repeat the name of the product years later in some random discussion on the internet?
I think the adds worked pretty much as intented.
Sometimes even if you buy from different place the owner of the companies are the same. Like if you ask offers for new windows in norther europe the three biggest companies are owned by same company.
I bet i have heard the same add, even living in Finland. I live close enough to border so i get good mix of Finish, Swedish and Norwegian adds. And every single one of those are way louder than the podcast is.
I bet you were thinking about some add when writing this.
There has latelly been a lot of news of this one british lady who visited her father in Texas.
Well go mod something else then. Ill manage just fine without your help.
It sounds nitpicky because there are only like handfull of games that let people mod the game as much as skyrim does. The vast majority of the games just soils them selfs if you touch the files. Its not perfect, but its better than most.
Exactly what i was thinking. A/B testin is the best way to get data.
What worries me more is what they are going to do with that data and if it will lead to predatory business model or not.
