I've never played a Sony game or owned a Sony console. I'm simply stating how a major japan-based company could save a young studio from completely disintegrating, allowing them to realize what could be a promising new IP. Also Sony could easily spinoff the studio once they've gained a certain size/reputation (they have spinoffed subsidiaries like financial services last year). Oth Microsoft would never spinoff any game company (they'd rather shut the whole thing down).
Honestly iced v60 is so much simpler.
Can they fix aoe2:de? The game keeps crashing and I needed to fix it every patch with a special bash script
They should get fined for any food thrown away.
Do you think it would make sense for valve to donate money and effort to Godot vs improving source?
Honestly a private company like Valve should consider going into the game engine business. They could probably use the same monetization as epic (5% or free on steam) and it would be a breeze for them to integrate. However it might not make financial sense for them hence they have not done it yet.
Yeah this is the real news. Doesn't matter how much revenue they are making, but artificially inflating the margin is literally greed and should be used as a proof of oligopolistic move by antitrust orgs to break them up.
Wow getting downvoted heavily. Looks like a lot of people either never took the subway in a big city or think that making it free would somehow not make access to the subway easier for disrupters?
Honestly the budget would be better used to subsidize transport for disabled people, increase budget for food banks, or build more shelters. I don't feel our taxes should subsidize Ms. 100k/yr living in downtown Toronto or Mr. 800k home living in kitsilano to give them free transportation, unless all of the above are being properly addressed.
Let's be honest, the whole divesting from Israel, although sounds impactful, will have zero effect on Israeli companies, nor their government. The value of those Israeli stocks will likely not be affected long term, since a dip in price will likely result in an instant buy from many hedge funds and private equities, since they are essentially priced under the market price. Ironically, a non-trivial number of those funds receive their money from states like Saudi Arabia, who supports Palestine. So while those states publicly claim their support for Palestine, they are indirectly invested in Israeli firms (e.g. 10% of the Shlomo group is owned by the Saudi), and divesting would simply result in those investors to gain a bigger position on Israeli companies by buying the dip, increasing their stakes (and consequently their position) wrt the Israeli corporate system.
What's the tldr? Just read the entire article and couldn't grasp the main point of this article
