So she wants to capture the entirety of the financially active population on the planet. Who believes this nonsense?

Every company owner has their price.

Imagine buying Arkane Studios and forcing them to do Redfall.

Game plan:

1. Buy as many game-makers at exorbitant prices to monopolise the industry.
2. Dissolve the game-makers immediately, when they do not perform to absurd sales targets.
3. ???
4. Profit.

I wish I could go the place, where all people who don’t believe these stories come from. Sounds like a dream. I consider myself lucky with the professors I had, but I also had a fair share of bottom feeding trash.

Atlantic?

Not today, CIA.

I agree that video games have had technological regression, but what about hardware? That slowly but steadily continues to develop right?

No, the free market is only good when I personally profit off of it. Competition is communism.

I also have CDs that are this old. There’s a big difference between CDs that you can burn yourself, because those are using organic materials and the weak laser in your disk drive to burn them and professionally made disks, which are usually using inorganic materials and molds. The molds then are embossed into the datalayer of the CD, making it significantly more durable than organic discs.

Magnetic tape depolarizes over time. CDs were organic and they would literally rot away. But as long as your Blu-ray discs are high to low (HTL)/inorganic Then you’re really set for at least 30 years as well, just like professional tape, but at a fraction of the price.

My personal conspiracy theory is that Sony is trying to kill Blu-ray before it enters public domain. (2028-2030 or so). Single-layer Blu-rays are invaluable for my cold storage backups. So I’m going to keep buying them. And thanks to them, entering public domain, innovation will be possible once again. So, in all honesty, I don’t have that much to fear, as mega corporations also use blu-rays heavily for backups, together with tape.

Wow, fuck the European Space Agency! >:(

Epic lacked a search bar and a shopping basket for months after launch. He compared his 2018 product with a 2003 product and still lost.

i said it in another post, I’m saying it again:

Merz is personified rage bait.
