Probably being present as trainers or consultants for British systems, intelligence, tactics etc. I can't imagine they operate at the front or you'd be inevitably getting body bags back and you can only keep quiet so many.
Nah, without control of the levers of government they're just terrorists. Don't forget that the government was well warned about Jan 6, and Trump's team actively suppressed preparation and response. It's not going to be the same if Biden is in office.
He closed his bluesky account some time ago so he must have left then. I assume they had some dnd agreement because only after he confirmed it publicly did bluesky came out with their announcement.
It's not so much honesty as much as trying to stem the bleed.
A CEO has a fiduciary obligation towards maximising the profits of the shareholders of his company first.
Another comment here said how they needed money and expertise from Sony to roll out a game that could support concurrently the number of players they do support and how Sony is collecting their dues.
However, the fuckton of hate that's being piled on now goes at least partially on to the developer which puts a wedge in the previous alliance.
As a developer, because of the demands of the publisher, they've gone from a position of such extreme good will that they had only blue skies in front of them - heck they could have crowdsourced their next game with ease and people would buy it sight unseen, meanwhile I bet Sony would be considering buying them to become in house studio, MS has a history of scooping such studios also - to revulsion and betrayal.
It also opens up a strategic vulnerability for a different developer to white knight the now proven market.
That's not good news for the shareholders and future prospects and the CEO is trying to stem the bleed without pissing off the publisher. Seems pretty tame to me.
There's no mainstream liberal media. There's establishment/billionaire media that panders to the cultural issues of the left in order to contain it in anything that involves taxing the billionaires or anything consequential.
I liked Rogue One too. It had some weight. That Darth Vader close up fight scene at the end was the first time I recognised him as a terrifying force and not a cartoonish bad guy.
Someone high up will probably lose a lot of face if it doesn't go through. I'm assuming someone looked at numbers in a spreadsheet and asked why on earth do they have a huge pool of data they can't legally use to enhance their ad targeting - when the developers said it might be a problem with our users they said fuck them, just ram it through. How do they backpedal without looking like out of touch idiots?
Was about to ask if we can transmit digital signal with enough compression and error correction over AM - I guess I wasn't the first one to think of it 😂.
Wait so their original argument argument is "you lied! we only killed 7,797 children so far", as if that is an acceptable number?
