Wait, the plan was to get recurring revenue out of single player games by tying them to gamepass.

This failed, for entirely predictable reasons, and now MS is holding a load of very mature, stable game studios and needs them to make checks notes double the revenue (actually, profit). This simply isnt posssible.

Theres a story out from early in the year about MS requiring a 30% profit margin across the firm which when applied to games is just nonsense. Not ambitious or unrealistic, nonsense.

Games is a terrible fit for MS and the companies who allowed it to buy them for stability are realising that.

“You can’t rule out the possibility that executives are idiots, but that shouldn’t be your default belief. I don’t think there is any obvious path that would have doubled the revenue from Id games.”

Some of us quit when we couldn’t use RiF. Literally dozens of us

The differences are mostly around consent. Eg. You cant quotetweet without the author setting a flag to allow it

But they dont generate it themselves, making twitter uniquely bad

But you could use it for slower access solid state, and then set that up as virtual memory.

Youd be swapping like crazy but itd be so cheap compared to the same amount of real ram.

I think this might work for many people just browsing the web. Maybe even games

Admits or boasts?

No, the left has hated him long before this.

His problem is appearing as if he does nothing. He isnt popular with anyone at all, and as i say a lot of labour members have hated him since he was made leader.

Theres a whole other post here about the way the uk perceives NI for you to not know this, but its systemic so dont feel too bad.

Wow the comments.

Russia running sabotage across europe through infiltrating telegram channels of extremists, pretending to be one, then paying someone to do something “for the cause” is well documented by now.

They dont care about the cause except for how much of a wedge they can fit into european societies. France has had the worst of it so far but its everywhere.

At least gamepass and the ms aquisition spree gave us Pentiment.

Seems a small thing to have released after buying half of the industry but thats microsofts problem. Maybe they can sell them all again when they get bored.

Strictly by the description it should include websites too, and would have to be extremely low level to prevent viewing.

Also Nintendo should probably be concerned at how widely the law is written for the DS

“We give big fat bonuses to our teams if they do hit a few goals,” Abrak said.

Didnt they fire the team?!

Shame they cant build one from alaska to the mainland then, canada has control.

To be honest south uk looks pretty good but anywhere north or south is catastrophic.

I wish it had a scenario for last 5 years average, the uk has many more than the preindustrial 0 tropical nights now.

Moat. A pause stops competitors catching up while theyre ahead
