It is how giant publishing houses self-destruct in the gaming space. They fail to realize how difficult it is to build up talented devteams. Everything becomes about maximizing profits in the end. Between the shitty monetization tactics and the terrible working environment they’ve created, they end up destroying their ability to make good games. I fully expect more mediocrity from Xbox/Activision-Blizzard, if not declining quality.
That’s just propaganda from BEV companies. They just saying that so people won’t realize that hydrogen solves many of the problems of electric cars.
We will drop electric cars because hydrogen cars are fundamentally superior.
Because it is a car-shaped airplane. It is a terrible airplane however, while also being a terrible car on top of that.
Reddit is still a year behind Twitter/X on its path of enshittification. So just wait another year or so and you’ll probably stop going there.
It is shaping up to being another massive bubble…
Please stop listening to corporate propaganda on this subject. You have absolutely no personal responsibility to solve this problem. The idea that you have to is an invention from business. A way to make it a personal responsibility and not something businesses have to solve.
It did not sell at full price everywhere.
And again, it has to NET $2 billion, not gross. You are simply deceiving yourself if you think it is guaranteed to make money.
Not everything sold at full price. By six month, it was probably closer to 50M. GTA Online has a much higher cost basis. It is not a magic trick to generate free cash. Again, they need to NET $2 billion, not gross $2 billion.
Again, GTA6 really has to match the success of GTA5 or else it will lose money. You don’t know if it can.
Actually no. They probably did not gross $2 billion until they sold around 40-50 million copies.
GTA6 will have to fully match the success of GTA5 to be a success. That is the risk here.
That’s grossing $2 billion. But they’ll still lose money at that point. They will have to net $2 billion, which won’t happen until they sell like $4 billion or more.
It will be the most expensive game in history, with a reputed development budget of around $2 billion. Anyone can do the math and realize that it would have to sell in ridiculous numbers to make that up. If it doesn’t capture the magic of past GTA releases, it will be a massive money loser.
Eventually, there will something like a 1000 Hz monitor. At some point, it will refresh too fast for the brain to register any difference.
The world is fighting fewer wars than ever in history. That doesn’t mean there are no wars, they’re just much fewer in number compared to the past.
I’m curious how far you can take this. Can you drink only espressos and still get hydrated?
The simple answer is to give it all away in some way. The notion that you can personally do good with that money is the delusion of every billionaire.
It’s literally this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hero_with_a_Thousand_Faces
The vast majority of stories with a heroic protagonist will be a variation of this idea.
@LiamMayfair The world will still be using fossil fuels until well beyond 2050. We already need to start the conversation about geoengineering and climate mitigation strategies.
@psyqology @spicysoup I use the standard DNS that comes with my ISP.
Lemmy needs to move away from downvotes altogether, or make it totally pointless. Just because Reddit uses it doesn’t make it a good idea.
