"Bless your heart"

It's a handy indicator? It makes it clear the dude was a delusional farkwit. That makes things easier. Pretty much every claim made thereafter can be ignored as "highly likely to be delusional".

...but enough about organized religion....

Copilot+ SKUs. Windows 11 Copilot+

So, unless you're actually running one of these SKUs - this does not apply to you.

But do feel free to keep manuacturing outrage.

Intentionally burying the relevant facts is just so /. FUDdy it would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.

If it takes this much effort to tune a UI for the mouth-breathing consumers, nuke it from orbit. The species is damaged beyond repair.

Agree to disagree. They're mediocre to boring games. The only one that almost wasn't completely dull was the pirate-theme nonsense.

They are effectively Sonic the Hedgehog for *real* gamers.... but still the same silly platforming collectathon gameplay loop.... with murder. "Innovative"... sure.

That being said, getting this worked up about a game is the domain of the developmentally impaired.

How even the most illterate can manage to get something posted on /.

The actual linked piece even has this correctly stated as "are" .... Yet here we am. Doing word bad things in excitmints.

Sure... if that's where they're using it..

Not sure anything will solve the boring gameplay loop of "collect the things to do the things to trigger the things to collect more things and also stupidly long cutscenes with atrociously voiced scripts of the most generic nature."

They're adding LLM stuff..... and adverts..... and loot boxes

Most boringest collect-a-thon set of games ever so no big deal if it's delayed forever.

More garbage storefront sites!

And when it comes to garbage storefronts, you'd be hard-pressed to beat EG. Almost as if Tim-the-Douchebag-Man-Child Sweeney has a preference for abusing EG's customers.

Way to gloss over the facts.

This hugely inflated pricing behaviour originated on consoles. The one market chock full of mouth-breathing gamers that would happily support it because they picked a platform on which they have no choice.

The pricing was inflated to "protect" brick-and-mortar stores but has never witnessed a decline in parrallel with the death of those stores.

One of the common arguments put forward for the cost was always physical media distribution and marketing... Virtually none of which exists anymore.

But sure... let's play pretend.

The dev costs is recovered in untis. That's the deal here. Make a cruddy game and lose. Make a good game and print funds for the next.

Your argument appears to be "If the game cost $1m and only 100 people purchased it then they should pay $10k each!" That's the dumbest argument for price gouging yet.

They've trashed around 12 studios and an untold number of games.

Not sure who/what broke EA but the path from something like Beasts & Bumpkins to full on EVUL CORP must have been a depressing one.

Pretty much one of the strongest arguments for hanging MBAs at graduation.

1. You *very* clearly don't.

2. Nobody was discussing Cloudflare.

You clearly don't understand what Cloudflare is.

What does E2EE hav to do with encryption at rest?

E2EE refers to transport.
