Back in 2012 I couldn’t put Skyrim down for 2 or 3 playthroughs, even without mods. Of course I’m older now and got less spare time… but I didn’t even get past the first few quests in Starfield. I don’t know why it doesn’t grab me the same way.

They’re already starting their paid ad-free $10 a month tiers for Europe only. They’ll stop showing advertising to underage people “for now”. They’re going to flood Europe with garbage ads and maximize subscribers that way.

Games is done, person making stuff for new games leaves for new job. News.

Thats a fair assumption. I think it might’ve just taken longer, especially if the ad-supported tier was there quickly too, or even as an option from the start.

I mean the very first year or two. As I understand they were burning money anyway, but it’s too late now.

YouTube messed up by not being a paid only service first and later offering an advertisement supported free tier. That way around, they’d be celebrated.

Proton will be ready by then.

Even if it was free and ad-free I wouldn’t want it.

This isn’t even really normal entshitification, they added videos and some music cheap Spotify knockoff to their fast delivery flat rate. Nobody asked them to.

Then they slowly raised the price, essentially locking everyone that just wanted free fast delivery into a video streaming service and kept increasing the price.

They did this to force existing subscribers into their “new” business idea of a video streaming service, when they couldn’t yet compete with the competition back then. Good news for them, their competitors are shit now.

Now they can include advertisements in it too and add more expensive advertisement free tiers. Essentially increasing the price again, but hiding it so people can’t ask for subscription fees back in Europe.

Do they really think most people have forgotten they just wanted a fast delivery flat rate? They will never offer their delivery flat rate without video and all that stuff again, only if a legislature would force them.

All because Amongus sold so many times…

Nice timing, since the first remotely substantial upgraded iPhone in the past years just released. Probably just a coincidence.

They altered the deal, they will alter the deal further.

Interesting read, I guess testing on mice is all you can do the behavioral part. But the methods section doesn’t state any weaknesses, I know it’s nor required but you know.

At the end of the 3-week-long exposure, behavioral testing began. During the open-field test, mice were allowed to explore a low-lit chamber for 90 min with spontaneous movements monitored in the x-, y-, and z-directions. Several parameters to measure behavioral performance were recorded, including distance traveled, rearing activity, and duration in the center. Surprisingly, we found that acute exposure to PS-MPs induced an increase in distance traveled, which was more pronounced in older animals (Figure 3A–D). Similarly, both young and old PS-MP-exposed mice reared significantly more in the open-field, as compared to age-matched controls (Figure 3E–H). Young PS-MP-exposed mice did not spend more time in the center of the chamber overall (Figure 3J), but both low- and high-dose groups spent more time in the center when analyzed as a function of time (Figure 3I). Low- and medium-dose older animals also showed an increased duration in the center (Figure 3K,L).

I’m not saying any of this is untrue, I’m saying consider the domain name of your news source too.

This has been going on for so long that it even found its way into pop-culture entertainment like Anime. Every other Isekai-Anime starts with the protagonist being worked to death by an abusive (dark) company. Its almost like a common disease in japan.
