Sounds like just the publishing side was affected. Lots of other independent developers are kind of in limbo in the short term, which does suck.

Hopefully they can get out of any contracts and go to a publisher not associated with that family.

I remember in a high school german class we watched the dubbed version of The Karate Kid.

The teacher warned us not to take notes from Mr. Miyagi's dialogue. "His German is terrible."

If the race were between The Literal Devil (R) and Jesus Christ (D), the vote total would be 45%-55% just based on the letter they choose to run after their name.

Policy doesn't matter when people base their entire personality on their political party identification.

It's because he's such a nice guy. Deep down he knows all his kids would be better off being co-parented by Swift and their bio mothers. He can barely remember they all are. They'll be happier without him in their lives.

They do point out that they will be monitoring how it's used, and could adjust things later.

Sounds like corporate-speak for "if people abuse this, we'll lock it down harder."

Even if people are using it to share with actual family around the country, they may get caught up in future updates that remove that feature. Also note that any publisher can opt out of the sharing. If EA or Ubi or some other big company doesn't like the lack of limits, they may be able to force Valve's hand in changing the policy.

The idea is wonderful, but there are a ton sof ways this could end up worse than the old system.

A third movie can finish out Paul's story, but the universe as a whole has lots more material to draw from. Much of that should be left alone, though.

Sony bought all the "Xbox is dead" talk (true or false doesn't matter, Sony believes it), and has started the high-end gaming console monopoly pricing.

There are things I disagree with Harris about, but this cycle, I'm a single issue voter.

That issue is "never having to experience Trump in any office ever again."

Hopefully my politics can be a little more nuanced next time.
