I get that coaches are inherently on a different level than casual fans, but as a coach I don't really think he's anything special. He won with a stacked Celtics team where his fourth best player was a 40% 3 pt shooter who was a 7x all star before that year and eventual hall of famer, and he's been given a lot of stacked rosters and underachieved. If anything, his Celtics tenure was also mixed because that team had the talent where they could have easily won more than one. They had issues that weren't the coach, too, but it's hard to feel like he elevated them rather than just took the ride, and he's coasted a lot off of his time here.

That's not incorrect, but at best you get grounds to audit the data and publish a more complete picture, not just handwave away their data as inherently worthless.
If they refuse to publish the data (in a way that preserves privacy of users but otherwise is sufficient to evaluate the methodology and legitimacy), then you second guess. But tossing it out without that (especially when it's very clearly in line with all the other ways to look at the site) isn't justified.
I really want to see them get bent over by whoever's trademarks X steals.
It's slightly slower. It's still not bad (unlike last gen where they came out of the box trash), but it's an extra complication.
If they say they can still do split screen, I'm sure they can, but it's generally something that takes more CPU load, so it's taking extra work to do to their standards.
The split performance for "next gen" is a pretty major compromise to the ecosystem. The benefit of consoles is the single target you can optimize hard for. Different GPU can be tuned, but different CPU is an issue for demanding loads.
A standard controlled by Google is many times worse than a standard not existing.
An actual acceptable standard must come from an impartial third party. Apple should absolutely not be proposing one either.
I honestly have no idea. I'm just going to play around with the descriptions and options and decide in the moment. If there's some kind of lone wolf perk like DOS I might try to go with a small party and be sneaky. I did want to add everyone I met in DOS:2, but I keep getting the desire to see how approaching encounters with smaller numbers works.
Because it's not even sort of based reality.
Google never at any point had any interest in not having control.
Google fronting a "standard", by itself, makes it unacceptable. Everything they touch they hijack to take data that isn't theirs.
No, Google did not. They want control.
Apple supporting any standard Google has significant weight in forming is an inexcusable "fuck you" to every one of their customers. This isn't defending Apple because they're Apple. It's "I would be completely apeshit at Apple if they did anything as fucking disgusting as supporting Google's fucking trash protocol."
It's fucking terrible. I'm fine with an actual formal standard Google has an identical (much less than half) stake to Apple with. It's literally impossible for anything else to be forgivable under any circumstance.
I'm not sure what point you think you're making.
The RCS people have experience with is no more open than iMessage. It's not even sort of better at anything.
Supporting RCS is not acceptable. It's a massive privacy issue.
Is it really surprising that it's less than anything ahead of it? Did it sell more than any of them on PlayStation?
There are absolutely people who like it, but it's never exactly been a blockbuster franchise.
