  • Games are a lot more expensive to make now. While the tooling has improved, the cost of labor has risen-sadly not enough to keep pace with the cost of living. The cost of a game to the consumer is also a lot cheaper than it was in even the 90’s. So you have a lead gen strategy in gamepass that forces them to recoup in other areas but they still aren’t able to recoup enough. Because of political monetary policies which gamers don’t really want to think about, currencies are worth less (USD lost 7% this year already-$100 bill is now worth $93) and the game prices haven’t adjusted to compensate. In short, games are hitting a similar wall to movies where in a world with Netflix, everything is going to end up looking like mediocre trash if it has to be basically free.

  • We (Americans) don’t get punished for war crimes. Those are only enforced on countries without leverage. This is why it’s so important to keep leverage (big beautiful bombs) out of the hands of anti-Christian dictatorships. Also, our supreme court ruled that he can do anything in the context of being president. I’m bummed that he had to go to war over low approval ratings but no better target than Iran if you’re going to do it. It’s a bigger country than Gaza while being equally shit and Israel will absorb much of the short term retaliation. I’m curious to see how China reacts.
