Those ones were never going to vote for Biden anyways but it's fun for them to pretend.

Helium 3 is what we're planning to use in fusion, that's the point.

Working in print for 23 years I can guarantee that there was zero thought put in to what the spreads artwork would looks like across the binding.

Try liking sonic the hedgehog games. The characters are all children but the fandom does not care.

For me it's near the top on the apps homepage. Looks like this

I'd argue that xcloud and gamepass are equally disruptive to the industry. In either case you don't own the games and they are tied to a subscription. Whether the game is running locally or in remote hardware doesn't change how it impacts development and sales of games.

Cloud based gaming is not going to replace owning hardware unless they can ensure sub 20ms response time for every and I don't belive that target is feasible but either case is bad for gaming as a whole. Games with 100 million dollar budgets are never going to see a positive ROI on services like gamepass and are reliant on gamers being willing to pay full price at launch.

My point is that Gamepass and similar services will kill AAA games if they become the primary way people access games and that is something that is best avoided. Games need a 6-12 month buffer to hit sales targets before they are considered for subscription services, otherwise the entire business model will fall flat on its face and take gaming with it.

YouTube music has something like this. You choose a few artists you like then tune the randomness of what it plays. I have discovered more new artists Ina few months of using it than I have in the decade before that.

MS surprise launched hifi rush with zero marketing, put it on gamepass day 1 then complains it didn't meets ales expectations and shuts down the studio that made it. Now, 48 hours later, they are saying they need more games like that.

It may not be directly referenced in the article but cloud gaming was absolutely a part of what led to the closure of tango gameworks.

Well Trump will obviously wait until he's installed himself as a dictator in perpetuity before making this ok

At the time people (probably his supporters) would say the stupidity was an act to make him more relatable. I'm not so sure.
