you made me go look, but you are correct.

 

IIRC, Microsoft paid 5 billion USD for Mojang several years ago now. They've added tons of mtx to bedrock (and neglected Java because it's harder to monetize I guess)

Then there's story mode and dungeons.

But 5 billion is/was a lot. Do you think they've brought in that much since taking over?

1.5 years of learning unity gone down the shitter. here I come, godot

even if they backtrack, trust is ruined at this point. this only makes sense if you're trying to destroy the company intentionally and short your stock on the way out. what the fuck

from the article:

"To be clear, the end of servicing applies to drivers provided via Windows Update. Manufacturers will, according to Microsoft, "need to provide customers with an alternative means to download and install those printer drivers."

so no, this is click bait for what amounts to a nothingburger

it is still a state case and would not be eligible for a federal pardon. the main advantage for these guys is that the jury would be pulled from that entire federal district rather than just from the city of Atlanta, meaning more rural hillbillies which increases the chance of a sympathetic jury

“The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in ‘Metcalfe’s law’—which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants—becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.”

did something happen? or is the "exodus" just due to a slow death? it seemed promising, but I did stop going there a while ago because there was enough here to scroll through
