It’s more like a default platform seeing as even former PlayStation exclusives are slowly getting a PC release as well. And I did call Starfield Xbox/PC exclusive, not just Xbox.

It’s probably not the word to describe what’s getting released where and stems from marketing but it’s commonly used in gaming so most understand its meaning.

Why do people behave as if Starfield was the first game not released on PlayStation?

Who is doing that? It’s just blatantly obvious that it would’ve been released on PlayStation without Microsoft meddling and their games sell a shitload, I mean Skyrim has been chugging along over a decade now. So I’m not really sure how Starfield is irrelevant to Ms buying shit conversation.

It’s not what being an exclusive means (let not get into linguistics here, I mean strictly the gaming industry term). I agree this specific case was anticompetitive but framing it as an exclusive just weakens this point in my opinion and allows to shift the debate away from it.

Away from what? Everyone knows what it means – or maybe I don’t, please enlighten me in that case.

So I don’t remember where but I’d heard about Microsoft wanting to buy Nintendo long time ago. The suits are always spitballing.

And funnily enough Starfield being Xbox/PC exclusive is an example why their hoarding is bad for gaming, and why the Activision deal shouldn’t pass.

40 second load times are pretty dreadful in a genre that by design has a lot of them.

It definitely is a different story when your (presumably) really good friend with industry connections is a piece of shit compared to just doing the right thing without risking anything, even getting praise for it. He’s just a human with maybe less than average integrity who did good when it suited him. Who can really say why they wrote the letter.

Throw him in jail.

My guess is that women don’t prefer to pay a higher price to get home safely but that’s just reality they live in. Also it’s an inconvenience to wait longer for a ride so why would they choose that just to spite men?

Also they (women) can probably decide from experience if they usually get harassed by men or someone else and choose to opt in to this program based on that. If it’s nonsense then they won’t do it because why would they.

Also only 23% of Lyft’s driver are women (based on a super fast search) so this actually happens to also help that issue as well indirectly as their demand grows.

Well getting harassed is also not fair.

Also this probably will have an unintended consequence of letting the popular gender choice(s) earn more, as there is less supply and more demand than if the whole driver pool was available.

How is dismissing a correction with a blunt “nope” nice and tacking on etymology when we’re talking about modern use of the word?

Yeah what kind of linguistics dweeb doesn’t understand that language is fluid and shapes with time and location.

Emotions motivate everyone.

It’s insulting and counter productive to say this thing is about dumb people following their emotions when education, money and opportunities play such a big part.

At least he puts them to use. I bet he’s sad all the time.

I thought Ken Jennings was a cool dude. This doesn’t feel like a cool dude move.

Scabbing or not, it’s semantics, but supporting the strike seems right to me. Though like you mentioned there’s the rest of the crew to think about. Maybe they need this check.

But does that actually hurt the ones responsible?

Yeah, might. It’s good good to question it even if that’s the case. Maybe next time someone will think twice about doing something similar if it’s not consensual.

I wonder could you interpret this as AI created movie script isn’t copyrightable but the actual filmed movie is. That would invite some weird competition, like we’ve seen over the years with the copycat movies.

I wonder if they actually now have him by the balls so he’ll actually starts listening them.

And I think google offers to translate text from picture for a while? So why wouldn’t they implement this to YouTube? And of course they have to moderate the content if possible.
