Smartphone screen is too small, iPad screen is too large. Neither is the right aspect ratio.

It’s going to take a court case to iron this shit out. It’s coming.

Narcissism

Good thing Microsoft is known for taking popular IPs and making them better and not beating a dead horse until they shrug their shoulders.

/s

Destiny is the only game Sony has bought of note ever, and it’s not going exclusive, nor is Bungies next game. Sony buys talent, not game libraries.

Sony has bought exactly 1 existing game of note, Destiny, and neither it or Bungies next game going to be Playstation exclusives.

Microsoft has bought all of Zennimax and will be taking all future games off Playstation.

So I don’t know what you’re basing your points on.

It’s going to be years before the apple headset is meaningful enough to have exclusive anything. It has to coke down in price 4-5x and have several other must have apps. Gaming is still hardly worth the effort for studios to support on Mac or Linux.

They will be anyway, Microsoft doesn’t know how to run studios. They have little to show for in the last 23 years.

That’s only because Microsoft has no taste and can’t figure out how to actually create an IP.

They don’t get credit for it. It wouldn’t have been a Sony game either.

Forza. That’s it. They weren’t behind Fable, they weren’t behind gears of war, they weren’t behind halo. Microsoft has nothing to show here. Every developer they’ve bought in the past has turned out nothing special afterward, just sequels of diminishing quality.

Sony has the superior hardware, and superior first party titles. Sony has often financed some third party development which keeps things playstation exclusives, but to my knowledge this has always been new IP not existing sequels like Microsoft has done in previous generations.

Microsoft’s monetary incentive is to kill PlayStation and make everyone buy GamePass. Then they don’t have to put effort into making individual games, they’ll have your money anyway. They’ve shown for years that they don’t care about Xbox making money. They are propping up Xbox with profits from other parts of their business, something that’s usually considered anti-competitive, but that’s out the window these days.

Sony doesn’t buy games to keep them from their competition. Sony buys developers and talented people to make games. Throughout their history Destiny is the only game of note that they’ve purchased and neither it or Bungies next game are playstation exclusives. Every other developer had been largely making Sony exclusives games from the get-go, or didn’t being any existing titles of note with them.

Microsoft can’t run a studio or create IP. Forza is the only title of note that has been created in house. Everything else was done by outside creative and later bought and run into the ground. Could that change? Maybe, but it’s been 23 years and they have jack to show for it. Sony only has a few more years of development experience than Microsoft, but has destroyed them in the quality and quantity department.

An attempt to try to win the Presidency and Pardon himself no doubt.

Really just seems like blurring the likes of what assistants are allowed to do. There’s no kickbacks or anything for her work on the court. Public speaking and book tours are typical. Her tenure doesn’t have an end date.

I cannot be bothered to care about this when her colleagues are violating these principles at exponentially higher levels and the last Presidential administration practically uses the office for nothing but self enrichment. Strengthen ethics rules across the board so none of it happens again. If not this goes to the bottom of the list of ethics problems.

We need to be clear here. Don't hate Meta/Facebook for complying with a legal search warrant. That's the law. Hate Meta/Facebook for having the ability to hand over private chat messages at all. End-to-End Encryption is the only answer. It's not about trust, it's about the ability.

What if they shut off the oxygen!?

How can you compete with an echo-chamber of lies?
