  1. Private servers are what have kept a lot of old MMOs alive, you can't underestimate the passion of gamers for sure. I'm all for this, its one thing to stop giving updates but another thing to shutdown servers to kill the means of playing a game your paid for.
  2. FOMO is their entire business model. Especially with this push of being a “luxury brand” And for a while people didn’t want to miss out on the latest and greatest because the latest did a better job of meeting their needs. Now? “Yeah I’m good, thanks.” EDIT: tried the tool myself, and literally the only compelling reason for me is the faster chip, I don’t care about the camera stuff. But even then it’s not worth the over $1100 Canadian buckaroos.
  3. This was dead in the water the moment M$ mentioned it would be connected to the Amazon App store. Surprised it lasted this long.
  4. So basically more dark-pattern type brain hijacking black magic that should be made illegal, got it! And the shitification of reality continues...
  5. Then Unreal was redeveloped with the UE tournament version of Unreal Engine. While I’m technically wrong it’s also misleading to state that UE is a single-player engine
  6. Ummm, you do know that the Unreal engine was born from Unreal Tournament, right? A MULTIPLAYER game?
  7. Isn't using Petabit instead of Petabyte a bit misleading given that the average user is accustomed to Terabytes, Gigabytes, and Megabytes? Don't get me wrong, 125 - 128 Terabytes (depending on who you ask, apparently) is still massive in terms of consumer-level storage. But this is like saying that something is 10,000,000 cm long when it's just 100 km long in a more sane level of representation at this point. Would still be amazing, just without the needless shock value.
  8. So, when are we getting an AI that runs an AI that runs an AI that runs an AI that runs… …for you?
  9. One of the neat side effects with today’s storage is that larger capacity tends to equal longer longevity. so even if you didn’t use all of it, having more is still beneficial.
  10. This was actually one of those "scandals" I never quite understood. Should Apple have better communicated what was going on at the time? Yes. Was it some sort of planned obsolescence conspiracy? No, not really. Smartphone batteries wear down over time, this is an undeniable fact, they are going to have to be replaced eventually.
