“The orange cornflour we used to create an eye-catching spectacle will soon wash away with the rain..."

Just like the Mona Lisa incident - they aren't doing irreparable harm to the monument. It definitely gets the discussion going, which feels like their ultimate goal.

Yep! With Steam Deck pushing more native game support, I hope we see more users get used to the Linux environment and increase the demand on the PC side for better support across all applications.

Another reason is that you are virtually guaranteed to find any application you need that supports Windows.

With options trading, a lot of stock movement is reflective of speculation rather than true value.

The way I see it: PC has a high upfront cost with minimal maintenance/upgrade cost to continue using it with newer releases for years.

Consoles have a cheaper upfront cost but no maintenance/upgrade. Once it's obsolete (as determined by the industry, not the owner) then you are forced to buy a new console for new releases.

For me, in practice, I know for a fact that I have spent less on my PC components and games than I would if I wanted the same experience on a console.

I've been a PC gamer for 3 decades. Most budget conscious PC gamers I know upgrade individual components as needed. Done this way, you can easily get more for your money than having to buy a new console every cycle.

I think he's talking about the next Mass Effect game.

The game console industry proved this was a viable business plan a couple of decades ago.

They probably realized it's not profitable because 90% of a user's visits are home, work, store... wash rinse repeat day in and day out. They can probably get more meaningful data from the person through their other various tracking methods.

Are ransom attacks on the rise in recent months? Any sites that track these sort of things?
