By this point, I suspect a lot of people who use the term don't actually know anymore. To them it just means "the shadowy bad guys who want to ruin my life specifically".
What gimmick would that be? I can't see anything in the text that this might refer to. Is this a translation issue? Because even the term "DEI" is at least unusual, that's not a thing in Germany. I'd like to know what he said originally.
I don't understand why you'd ask that. And I struggle to explain why this baffles me so much. Why would you think the devs of a game you like, a game that many people seem to like, might be considering making it free? If it was doing badly, sure. But apparently their business model is working. So why the fuck?
Hey Todd Howard, do you plan to make Elder Scrolls 6 free to play? ... okay, horse armour says bad example.
Now don't quote me on this, it's based on my memory from an art history lesson roughly 20 years ago (Kunst-Grundkurs im Saarland, Ü). But, if I remember correctly, there is an inverted relationship between fashion (meaning the way people present themselves in general) and the economy. When the economy is booming, people tend to go with simple, understated shapes and colours. When the economy is slowing down, they tend to go overboard, putting more effort into their looks, wearing more noticeable jewellery etc (possibly to keep up appearances that they're still fine?).
Again, these are tendencies, not strict rules. But maybe that's what you're noticing?
Bluesky themselves would love to discourage their users from calling them "skeets" but that train has left the station. If the hivemind picks a word, you have to roll with it.
