Curious if this is so broadly true without bundled resources; obviously screens are higher DPI, so even buttons are now designed for at least 8K resolutions, even if most consumers are still on 1080p.

Orders of magnitude beyond 640x480 or pre Windows 3.1 resolutions.

You definitely should bump it up the list, especially if you can handle ray tracing, though the raster lighting is also good.

While true, it’s pretty asinine to hold companies operating in China accountable for complying with Chinese law. It sucks, but they aren’t just going to abandon the Chinese ~cash cow~ market.

The games in progress I mark as favorites, I have “Finished” and “Play Next” categories, and I have a big dump category called “Won’t Play”.

Aside from that, I have some big categories for collections of old games from humble bundles and steam sales, like legacy Myst, Wizardry, or Sierra games, or like Star Wars game collections.

Or, the real sign of gentrification is that the Google Maps car drives by your neighborhood more than once every five years. Guarantee that’s not happening in the projects.

I was beyond disappointed to see this. I have limited time to fire up my PC at home, so was looking forward to being able to finally play this game, on mobile, during travel.

For what country?

In the US, at least, the long term average is 3.10%, including the post-1913 Great Depression and the Oil Crisis/Great Inflation of the 1970s. From 1990-2020, the average has been 2.2%, just slightly worse than the stated goal of current US economic policy, which is to maintain long term inflation at a rate of 2%.

Meaning, 3% beats inflation significantly more than half of the time, especially since 1990.

Cost of living, yes, and if you’re a solid performer, 3% is considered good. However, this is a 5% across the board, and a large increase to entry level.

This. They clearly overextended due to the boom in streaming during the pandemic, and are now reacting to the contraction in content consumption both here, and on YouTube.

I mean, yea? Income less operating expenses is profit, so if you can lower operating costs, without compromising the service, your bar to profitability is by definition lower. This is why it is called “right sizing”.

Fta:

“I want to be clear that we still have more than enough resources,” said Clancy. "We are still a reasonably sized organisation. We’re still going to be able to service your needs. We’re still going to be able to improve the product.
