Little bit of everything I think. I personally have been getting tired of Microsoft pulling their shit, but without Valve making compatibility so simple for their launcher it would make it a much harder sell.
During today’s Ubisoft Summer Game Fest showcase, the publisher took a moment to acknowledge that, yes, its long-in-development and oft-delayed Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake is still being made. But if you wanted to play it soon...bad news. It won’t be out until sometime in 2026....
Honestly to God, while I get wanting to play an updated version of games you love, I played through the original trilogy off of gog a few months ago, and they have stood up remarkably well. I can't help but see all of this as a bit silly.

God I'm fucking sick of this loss leading speculative investment bullshit. It's hit some bizarre zenith that has infected everybody in the tech world, but nobody has any actual intention of being practical in the making of money, or the functionality of the product. I feel like we should just can the whole damned thing and start again.
You're right, but once we're feeling effects of that magnitude we're already pretty much screwed. We'd need long term corrective action, and basically manually reverse all the damage we've done. it bought as well be teraforming at that point.
Honestly with how that company is going you might be better off getting a cheap rig and installing your favourite flavour of Linux. I'm still salty their implementation of surround sound and video decoding can't use the actual power of the chip it's running on.
Frankly given what they've promised and what's already in there it could easily go to 3x. It's fucking bananas. I was 30 runs in, and still finding new NPCs and events.
Fantastic, I was forced out of my optimal dose and lost approx 3 months of my job hunt during peak hiring times because these idiots can't get their shit in gear.
One could argue to get exclusivity of said IPs for their subscription service. They haven't pulled the trigger yet, it's possible they have aborted the plan entirely. I wonder if they even know what they're doing.

Fuck me, it's been so long since I've heard the Australians are all prisoners one that it took me a few seconds to get the joke. We need to do more crimes clearly
She's so transparently working backwards from her original knee jerk judgement on her views on gender. I've never understood why people feel the need to die on this hill, change is scary sure, but it's not THAT big a deal is it?
Very likely. I find it also has a lot to do with environment, like work is the place I go to get stuff done, home is the place I play games and chill. So when it's time to get stuff done at home, the wires get crossed a bit.
