As a person who cares about the gaming ecosystem, I think it would be really healthy for Microsoft to not have full market dominance.
They’re busy making studio acquisitions which are gradually centralizing the market, which could become very problematic if they start taking anticompetitive approaches to distribution.
More people on Linux means more pressure for software availability on Linux, and if people can just move over relatively easily that prevents Microsoft from going full corpo-digital-prison-hellscape.
It’s a bit of a rabbit hole, but Rockstar was caught recently selling a cracked version of their game on steam.
A lot of the time the person / group doing the cracking leave a digital signature. Here’s a hacker news link to the original Twitter thread that caused a bit of fuss recently:
And now think about how those same people are our politicians!
I noticed when I fly a lot of airlines include models of the plane you’re on in the in-flight purchase pamphlet. They’re pretty simple, probably fine for a kid - on the off chance you’re flying somewhere for the holidays.
That looks delicious! Is there a sauce on the pork?
All the activity in every zone I visit really does just feel so great. There’s no better sign a game is alive and healthy. It was totally that which hooked me.
Note that they’re just isolating blood flow. They’re not taking the brain out and putting it in a fancy jar.
Not totally clear how this is different than a heart and lung machine that they use during major heart surgery. Sounds like this is mostly an improvement on that, they talk about it replicating the ‘pulse’ of a heartbeat for example.
I still play EVE online, having a lot of fun in faction warfare these days.
A video came out on the history of the game recently, just a cool 6 hour deep dive. https://youtu.be/BCSeISYcoyI?si=1sKdXt8oPRUTbzs1
I’ve also gotten into Guild Wars 2 recently and I’m a little addicted. The game just feels great: nice community, events are engaging, so much stuff to do but at the same time not demanding like games can be sometimes.
I moved to Europe from the US. Forgot to cancel my gym membership before I went.
They demanded a handwritten letter, delivered in person by myself to cancel the membership. I wasn’t buying an international flight just for them, so I mailed them a letter and had to threaten to sue to get them to close it. Absolutely disgraceful.
I guess a political movement demanding better metrics / KPIs wouldn’t be all that sexy, huh.
I was reflexively mad reading the start of this comment but by the end you had me 100% sold on your analysis.
Oh snap
