    Microsoft should be broken up. They never should have been allowed to get so big in the first place.

    Yet somehow wow has retail, classic, progressive classic and now forever. Who the hell is still playing that game?

        Yeah I don’t know why I said that. I’m just surprised that it’s still has a cultural impact after 20 years

    While I’m glad that Hideo Kojima’s projects were picked up by Microsoft, and therefore the people at his studio will have paychecks because of that, it has to make these layoffs so much harder to take. MS just willingly picked up two projects from a guy who is chronically over budget, but they’re still doing layoffs for their existing employees.

    No chips, no ram, no SSDs. The industry found it’s foot and shot it.

    This is going to be like the housing crisis but more permanent.

          Reddit started forcing login for old.reddit. That’s one driver, and why I made an account here, and have read several comments from others saying the same.

            I get why that’s so annoying. But I’m not sure why it would drive new signups here. Isn’t that more of an issue for people who don’t want to create an account?

            Feels like we need a really strong Fediverse/Threadiverse search engine to fill the gap left by Reddit ending open access.

              For me, it was more about supporting the “small guy” who isn’t trying to profit off my data.

    They want Xbox to make a resounding comeback while also removing all of the talent from the studios. Cat’s out of the bag, we already know it’s not “14 layers of management” being fired, it’s everyone. They aren’t making the latest awesome Halo for the next Xbox, they want some sloppy sad corporate approved vibe coded cheap thing that they can ship with the limited number of new consoles.

    and people will still go buy it in droves.
