You could make it work mathematically: the added 50% would need to be based on the initial price and not a modification on the adjusted price.

It's most logically interpreted as: x * 1.5 * 0.5 = 0.75x
But we could see it as: x - (x/2) + (x/2) = x

I'm equally fun at parties.

Truthfully I don't know the answer to that question. I started trying to make an educated guess at it, but I kept finding holes in my thoughts: I got nothing.

The article mentions that most publishers will license it for 6-12 months, but it's going to vary. Basically keeping Denuvo in use indefinitely costs more money than only using it for a short time.

From a business perspective I think it makes sense to license it for that first 6-12 month period. As a consumer too I wouldn't mind that: let them protect the initial sales period and then remove the DRM for long-term use. Early adopters will get the shitty version of the game... but that's already true in so many other ways.

Huin said publishers license Denuvo technology "for a certain amount of time, [maybe] six months or a year," mainly to protect that initial sales period. After that, many publishers decline to renew that lease and instead release an updated version of the game that is not protected by Denuvo.

What grinds my gears with all the people (whether Denuvo officials or elsewhere) that claim that it has no effect on performance: they only focus on average FPS. Never a consideration for FPS lows or FPS time spent on frames that took more than N milliseconds. Definitely not any look at loading times.

I'm willing to believe a good implementation of Denuvo has a negligible impact on average FPS. I think every time I saw anyone test loading times though, it had a clear and consistent negative impact. I've never seen anyone check FPS lows (or similar) but with the way Denuvo works I expect it's similar.

Performance is more than average framerate and they hide behind a veil of pretending that it is the totality of all performance metrics.

And here I thought he had finally disappeared from gaming.

Let's be realistic: this is another scam by him. Everyone likes to brush it off as him as dreaming bigger than he can pull off and getting caught up in his own hype or whatever. But no, after you do it enough times in a row for enough decades without deviation, it's hard to deny what it is.

Especially after his most recent game of Godus and all the bullshit from that.

This dude doesn't deserve the coverage this article gave him, and the only discussion worth having is to warn people off of his lies.

Pro Max prices have been static since their introduction with the 11: $1100 for the base model. Pro models have also been static at $1000, although this article only mentions Pro Max price increases.

That's a big part of why I'm going to upgrade from my 12 mini.

Also looking forward to better battery life and the higher resolution camera (which if I remember right was mostly for low light pictures?).

It almost certainly is. It comports with precedent and prior Wisconsin court cases have ruled in favor of this use of the veto.

That's the automod for the sub in question. It's not a reddit wide bot in this case.

Of course, it could be that reddit's admins are helping mods make these kinds of reactions. I'd believe that. But the account itself in question (automoderator) doesn't tell us anything about how reddit's admins feel.

Looks like no, it's desktop only:

reddit.com's traffic has decreased by 3.36% compared to last month (Desktop).

Interesting to note that if you scroll down further you'll see that the #1 content referral to reddit is adult content at 20.6%, with second place being video games at 16.3%. A solid one fifth of the other sites pointing at reddit do so for porn, basically.

That's an issue with the management being assholes, but not being incompetent. The game was great, and asshole behavior can be fixed or the assholes can be replaced. Incompetence is harder to correct.

id would be great for Halo! The only reason I wouldn't want that is because I want them sticking with whatever they're working on and already passionate about.
