Of course they do. The S23 for example is smaller than the iPhone 15, was the same price on release (came out Feb 2023) and has features beating the iPhone 15 Pro Max, a much bigger and more recent device. Most features/hardware on the bigger phones exist in smaller phones, most of the extra space on larger phones is usually just taken up by a larger battery anyway. They can go watch some teardowns, look into all the software locked features like with the recent Pixel 8 phones, instead of blindly jumping to the defence of these mega-corporations who only want to upsell.
But yes, obviously some features are a lot harder to fit in a smaller space, but I thought that was the obvious asterisk to my comment. Perhaps they should spend some R&D on figuring that out though, rather than rehashing the same devices year after year which is just leading to e-waste.
(I'd love the 3.5mm port back too, but they all want to sell their wireless 'buds' now, so not going to happen for that reason alone :c)
That will be a side effect of them locking abitrary features behind the bigger and thus more expensive models, if there was feature parity smaller phones would probably still be the norm.
Triple A would fuck it just as much, would be poorly optimised trash riddled with MTX and/or DLC. No good studios want to take it on because it's a beloved world and they dont want to risk it, but these random studios youve never heard of will for that quick buck from the name.
Even on that video, the cop sucked the entire time (due to the lack of good training). You are alone on a busy highway, the last thing you want to do is start a fight, you don't even want to be on the shoulder like that, it's far too dangerous. No matter how you wanna show this, the guy should never have been put in a position to be shot.
Nah fuck that. It was verbal until the cop tased him, then its not exactly shocking that it causes him to react. The cop was screaming the whole time, no de-escalation at all. Just get him to the side of the road, safe and talk while waiting for backup. It's just more evidence of undertrained US cops. There was no reason for this man to die.
It's all for game pass. They want to lock people into their favourite games with a subscription, that's where the money is for Xbox at the moment, all these buyouts are for securing their service as 'the one to want' before others clamber into the space. So I suspect things at ABK will continue as they have been doing for the most part, but with the games on game pass and maybe some more Xbox ports.
Yes wait for a Steam sale. https://steamdb.info/sales/history is good for tracking them, although they are usually all the same dates every year, so not exactly unpredictable.
They are clearing inventory of the current SKUs ready for the refreshed ones, so it's highly likely it will be on sale again this month and/or during the Autumn sale in November.
Normally I would agree, but paradox are just as cancer with DLC as others with battle passes. Paradox just browse the workshop and take the most popular mods and then sell them as DLC. Some DLC are good, dont get me wrong, I think they did a pretty good job with Stellaris, even if most of it is overpriced.
You will be lucky to outlive Bobi.
