I still have a job. I survived layoffs... for now. My workload has increased, but all is well, and I'm thankful for that.

Hoping for the best for you. Take care!

No doubt. I agree. I try to stay out of things for that reason, but this was big news for a couple years and is still going on. As a gamer, it was unavoidable. The number of reports coming out of that company is concerning. But I do try to separate art from the artist when I can.

Basically Activation and Blizzard with their sexual misconduct, harassment, and otherwise. Their CEO defending it. The allegations of toxic work environments, etc. It's just not a company I support, despite the fact that I was a huge fan of their games. There's a lot more information out there, but I don't feel like going through it all. I'll remove my post if you want.

Maybe I'm just being salty? I don't think so though.

Edit: Sorry Chris, if I am out of line or didn't provide enough info in my original post.

Yeah they keep changing the structure of the plan. Music used to be a separate package I think? That was years ago.

I wouldn't call it fluff though :P I (initially) got it specifically for the music, and that's what gets the most use from my family :) I guess that doesn't make it any less fluff for you though. I agree that it should be a separate package.

This price increase sucks though.

Yes it does :\ Lucky for us it doesn't seem to affect the family package. They raised the price on that last year.

Here's hoping they don't raise the price of that plan too.

Yeah, I can't disagree honestly. The Disney+/Hulu/ESPN ad free bundle is like $20/month usd.

You probably can, but I'm lazy ;) I like it. Got the family one so everybody in my house can use it. We listen to a LOT of music on youtube music in my house, and a few of the others like watching cooking shows and silly junk on youtube. There's some pretty decent content. You can get by with ad blockers and stuff, but since I use the music app in my car and at work I prefer not to deal with all that.

For most people, there's probably not much reason to pay for it.

Edit: Not happy with the constant price hikes though. It seems like the bump the price by a little every year or two.

Lightguns don't but newer technology does. Guns these days just use cameras and they work fine. There's no technical limitations here.

But I do appreciate your comment because that was an actual thing for a while, so completely relevant, honest, and true.

It's still easily doable for modern developers.
