Reminds me of Amazon Games’ disastrous MMO launches in Europe because they refused to add more server capacity for European players until they left in droves. For comparison the US servers had more than three times as much capacity at launch.

That’s not whataboutism. Whataboutism is when someone brings something unrelated up to make the main topic look less important and that’s not happening here.

Alright that’s still a weird ruling to someone outside America though because something like a shopping mall or a parking lot are public spaces here too as well as anything that is openly visible on the internet. Which makes a lot of sense.

Sony would essentially own the anime and manga industry and be able to dictate monetization practices as well as trends. I find that even more concerning than the Fromsoft acquisition and that’s saying something. Nothing good can come from this whatsoever.

I’m surprised European governments haven’t demanded better enforcement of laws when it comes to hate speech on Steam. Instead they regulate stuff like lootboxes or spicy content because they think those are more harmful than fascism apparently.

It’s a public space in Europe for sure. No idea why the US would think openly accessible forums are a private little backroom where rules don’t apply.

If it was a core directive it would just delete itself.

And nobody was surprised. I predict most advertisers will return by the end of January for the same reasons they left previously: It’s the right business decision at the right time. Remember that the next time a corporation makes a pledge. It’s always about money.

The FTC does have a pretty solid track record under their current lead, it’s just that it will likely be demolished under Trump.

It should be added this was discovered to the surprise of absolutely no one.

What does a datacenter need a huge glass front for? Slashing carbon emissions? Yeah right.

Oh that isn’t even a flyspeck on the window compared to the shit he does to his ‘allies’ when he needs a fallguy or simply gets tired of them. And something tells me Elon won’t be so accepting of his role as orange man’s personal doormat so this will be interesting to watch in a morbid way if nothing else.

Good, I hope they raise pricing too and pay creators even less. Make it hurt. It’s the only language users understand apparently.

I think you give the rest of America too much credit if you think a dumbass like him wouldn’t get rewarded for his unhinged ruthlessness. The country is essentially a giant casino for billionaires at this point and Elon won by betting an absurd amount on red.

You know that’s kind of the point with the whole MAGA thing. They’re picking up exactly where they left off in 2020 with thundering applause.

Hey, it’s not only his cars that kill people, his assembly lines kill them too! And now he’ll be in charge of all the assembly lines.

Xitter is worth as much as it was estimated before he paid an absurdly over market price for it but it won’t matter because he got what he wanted out of it and will make all that money back by siding with fascism. So in reality, Xitter didn’t lose any money, Elon just threw away a bunch of billions to make even more later and it worked. America chose this.

And “efficiency” directly translates to “maximizing human exploitation” for Elon. I mean holy crap what has the US elected themselves into?

Both can be true at the same time if you just use human labor behind a screen to assist the lackluster hard- and software. They tried that with their self-checkout supermarkets while claiming they were fully automated.
