Right to the point, good summary mate!
- Comment on Suicide Squad Cost Warner Bros. $200 Million In Revenue 13 hours ago:
This is a very good point. It also shows the delusion of the executives, thinking that their next shitty looter shooter will become the new Fortnite, not understanding the oversaturation of the market. People have limited hours to play per day, the only way they can play your game is if they stop playing something else.
- Comment on Suicide Squad Cost Warner Bros. $200 Million In Revenue 14 hours ago:
Good demonstration of the current quality of journalism. Cost X in revenue” doesn’t make any sense, as cost and revenue are the exact opposite things, the difference of which (if I simplify) make up the EBITDA that the quote from the company actually referenced for the 200 M USD negative impact.
I’m not expecting a game journalist be an ACCA certified accountant, but should be at least able to write an accurate title based on the available quotes and information.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s Neuralink reports trouble with first human brain chip 14 hours ago:
Yes, infortunately this is the case. In an article I read the guy was able to pay chess and Age of Empires with his thoughts and the chip, quite impressive tech indeed, it’s just that you absolutely cannot trust anything near Musk
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 1 day ago:
I got a few months of Apple Music with some device, was happy to ditch Spotify. Not very good, preferred Spotify’s UI and logic, but still a better alternative, and at least not pushing podcasts in my face (which I have zero interest in). I will never use Spotify again

Many decades ago, the US decimated parts of cities and a lot of railway infrastructure to make way for cars. It’s never too late to ruin something

It’s just simple corruption (or lobby, as it’s called in the US), they are saying what the highest bidder asks them to say

- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 5 days ago:
The most depressing thing I’ve seen related to this topic. A small team that worked incredible hard were lucky enough to achieve the impossible, and now they watch without any control as it is taken from them, for no other reason than greed.
Due to to unchecked neoliberal capitalism, big companies like Sony already cover so much of the developed markets, that they have no way to naturally grow more. So they are forced to squeeze more out of what they already have, as stagnation is not accepted in this hellish system.
The line must go up, whatever the cost!

Yeah, I understand that sales funnel logic, but still argue it’s direct financial impact would be marginal. It’s wishful thinking from Sony, that just because you got your claws into a PC player by making a PSN account, they will start buying PS stuff. The data monetization is much more direct, but still, not much additional money to be made by a few thousand extra registrations (especially as they had to be aware of refunds happening). These are definitely valid upsides, but I don’t they are big/certain enough to make this call, and compensate for the negative consequences.
My gut/experience tells me this is mostly about the PSN account numbers, and some execs getting a gazillion dollar bonus if they can push it above certain target by the next report, even if they damage the revenues in the process.

Holy F, what a smooth brain move. They had an IP with incredible goodwill that would have been printing money forever (think about DLCs and merchandise, maybe even a TV series), and they chose to destroy all that to increase the active PSN account numbers by <1%, whuch doesn’t even have a direct financial benefit, just something they can peacock in their quarterly reports, trying to bumo the stock price,

Thanks for the correction, never realized how little the nuclear share was in Germany, I always assumed it was much higher, similar to the countries I’m more familiar with. The phase-out barely makes a difference

- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 week ago:
I’m from Eastern EU but work in Germany in English. As I grew up with my native language’s keyboard, I always set that up, but turn the display language English.
Worked fine in 10, but with the new 11 work laptops most things are indeed German, but some apps are in my native language, and some in German. And a few days ago, lock screen stock photos started appearing (instead of the company’s logo as before), with quotes in my native language. All because I want to use a specific keyboard. Based on searching, this is a known problem, win 11 languages are a mess, and no way to fix without resetting settings an reinstalling some things, for which I would need to leave my computer with corpo IT.
