Are you sure about that ? I don't know that much about these kind of dynamics because I am not a soulless capitalist ghoul, but I remember reading that Kotick actually did that kind of stuff mostly by himself and was quite good at it (which did translate into more money being made, which probably kept investors happy and cemented his position)

Oh look it's the thing everyone said would happen way back when Activision bought Blizzard

simple and boring is perfect, as long as it tastes great.

As a Regina enjoyer I agree 100%

Can unfortunately confirm

It's not uncommon to see people expressing disdain for other distros. I feel like it's tongue in cheek 99% of the time though

When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, “I WANT A REMATCH.”

Sounds like he was this close 🤏 to realizing that politics isn't sports nor entertainment there... Although to be fair, his base certainly seems to treat it that way

As a professional gamedev : good. Except if they aren't tackling similar issues in online gambling (am at work so I didn't read the article)

Edit : read the article, they basically only mention displaying the real money equivalent when buying "premium" currency, which is only the tip of the iceberg, but also pretty easy to legislate I guess.

But just know that I'm order to set it up, you have to login with your account on their computer at some point to enable the family sharing feature

I doubt it, because I think that's literally how it used to work

We have one at work (office cats ftw). I don't know the model, but knowing the owner I'm positive they didn't get a cheapo version. In this case it's worth the money because it does a fairly good job at mixing the litter which seems to help quite a lot with the smell (it gets noticeably better a few minutes after it's done its thing), since no one is gonna empty it during the day.

FOMO can be a bitch for some people. The fact that it is so widely exploited in tech/videogames is no coincidence

I think so, but most devs don't enable it. I read somewhere else on Lemmy that it was actually enabled before the 1896 update and that they disabled it so I didn't even try, but I guess I was just tired as fuck (very real possibility lately) OR someone was spreading misinformation on the Internet
