Okay, so let’s go down the list. Musk has bought Twitter so he could:
Everyone’s ‘okay’ with it until it’s $5 more. Then another $5. Then another $5.
This is what’s happening with all of these streaming services. They’re all doing the gradual boiling water trick. They know if they turned the dial all the way to hot to make the water boiling, metaphorically speaking, that nobody in their right mind would want to jump in. But if they just turn the dial slowly, let the temperature build up by hiking these prices bit by bit, it wouldn’t cause that much of a stir and people will be complacent with it.
I’m mostly asking out of curiosity, but also maybe for anyone here that’d like to know. But if you buy Ubisoft games from GOG, like Prince of Persia, they won’t need the shitty Ubisoft launcher, right?
That’s the reddit logic for you.
Make a huge, heavily invested deal about a cause.
Do something that suggests that there’s going to be a follow-up of change.
But actually do nothing about it and resume status-quo, while talking about how there could’ve been change, what can be done and act all defeatist.
The Netherlands is the PS1
Good way for me not to care even a pixel of these games.
DOOM and DOOM Eternal
Does anyone remember being around people, when you were a kid, that awarded you behavioral stickers that are holographic and had various shapes like stars or animals?
This is exactly what this stupid verification thing is about. OoOOOoO, I’m so special that I got a fucking checkmark next to my name and I actually spend money that could’ve gone to something else worthwhile just to keep it! /s
I feel like we’re in a world where all of these companies are fronted by childish adults that treat all of their userbases like these kinds of kids. But they pretend that they’re adults because they do business things.
That’s the best part of Final Fantasy, is that a lot of them don’t really interact with eachother unless they are direct sequels and spinoffs (like Dirge of Cerberus for FF VII or FFX-2). At most, there is references and they all do share bits and pieces because they’re relatively in a giant universe. Like, you’re always going to see Chocobos. Bahamut is always going to be a part of the game in some role. Cid will always come around and vice versa.
But generally, the story will be different, the cast will be different, the mechanics will be different .etc
And the government continues to give them more money. I’ve figured it out now.
People want better broadband. ISPs promise to broaden internet. Government gives money. ISPs spend a considerable amount of the promise of better broadband in marketing. Doesn’t happen. People still want better broadband. ISPs promise again. Government gives more money. ISPs continue spending on marketing.
Over and over.
