They're not going to stop security updates, they're going to charge for it. Not sure they really have any incentive to not charge for security updates....

Budget title is definitely a stretch, but I think that was just poor word choice - the fact that those three games are less than the typical "AAA" price of $60 I think really proves their point that gamers by and large are choosing cheaper games — it's the industry trying to push premium priced games.

Billionaires literally want the impossible

If your competitor is forced to raise prices 10%, why wouldn't you raise prices 8/9/10%?

Anyone that's taken an AP history class knew tariffs don't work to help the economy — it's a tax on all of us and only raises all prices.

You might not buy a €600 Xbox when the Switch is €250, but it looks more attractive when the Swich is €470

TIL someone trademarked it.

Really demonstrates how broken our trademark system is.

In 2015, 2.1 million people were still using AOL’s dial-up service. That revenue stream has dried up. The number of dial-up users is now “in the low thousands,” according to a person familiar with the matter. - Source (2021)

Imagine losing 10% of your paycheck quarter to quater...

Sort of surprised the reverse of the network effect isn't as fast - but then I remember there's still people paying AOL for internet.

So he was breaking the law?

Hm... I wonder what my punishment would be for breaking the law...

Sorry, best we can do is cancel that game from the developers of Critically Acclaimed Game and lay off all of the developers.

Alanah is great - and this isn't totally surprising. The enshittification will continue until profits improve.

Tbf, there's also been a large online culture against those exact things in games - we live in a post GamerGate society, and there's a frighteningly large online presence of "antiwoke" people ready to brigade any game they perceive as "woke".

I mean, all you have to do is watch any new game's discord, voice chat, or even Steam "curators" - there's even a dang spreadsheet

Mostly due to the fact that mining bitcoin becomes harder as more and more are found, and the "worth" of that work no longer exceeds the cost in electricity to do so.

In the past, it was basically free money, especially with how volatile it's value is/was

Batteries are also addressed

And when exactly has congress voted 90% on impeachment?

Remind me right before midterms about what happens with impeachment.

Republicans have proven they will never abandon him while they remain in power — Trump will not be impeached (again) or convicted until Democrats return to power.

Richard Stallman, is that you?

Further cementing unfair elections in the US and riding further down the fascist road.

Arresting judges for political reasons no less.

This... might just be the only way to get funding now

Ctd?

The comparative toxicogenomics database?
