Not all contractors are equal. In many cases that expertise *IS* the outside contractor.

It's 2026. In the view of half the country that only applies to white males. You know, the disenfranchised class.

Not everyone has the power of an organisation who can afford many lawyers to stand behind their opinion. If you look up how much money the media who criticise Trump has spent on legal defences in the past couple of years you'd realise how stupid your post actually is.

Yes the "ACTUAL" reason is that they don't want cheaters online in a *checks notes*. Single player game with no multi player component. Wait that can't be right. *Checks notes again*. Where's this "actual" reason citation? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Stupid claims require proof too.

Most people. What if I told you, you don't need to run your games at 4K, with everything set on Ultra and raytracing turn up to 11. It's 2026, casual gamers have long since owned 6GB+ GPUs. If you've bought anything with a dedicated GPU in the past literally decade you'll be fine, maybe with the exception of those ultra ultra cheap 50 series cards.

And no, there are plenty of casual gamers who play on PCs. Your mum doesn't count (not a joke, you're the one pointing to candy crush). ... (okay I lied, it was a your mum joke).

I sincerely doubt it. Firstly the PC version was always announced as not being far behind. There was never a multi-year window in plan and this announcement is completely in line with language they've used previously.

Secondly GTA6 isn't that expensive. It's actually cheaper than GTA4. GTA4 launched at $59.95USD which is $93 in inflation adjusted terms. GTA6 is launching at $79.99. Inflation matters.

Thirdly, what was this flop you were talking about? GTA4 broke industry sales records including highest ever first day sales, and highest ever first week sales. The lifetime sales numbers (while not record breaking) were also incredibly impressive. You are thinking of a different game or an alternate dimension.

I'm sure all 5 subscribers who are keyboard warrioring all over Twitter about this, that qualifies for people "having heard" a trend was happening, won't affect their bottom line much.

Hint: Fuck all people care about it, but it's fun to report about it as a filler item in the news.

Fuck this, release the Snyder cut!

They'll put her in running for president candidate in 2028.

Yeah why not. I mean you guys do it, so why not everyone. You want a race to the bottom, you got it. Time will come to line you up against the wall wrong thinker.

You're assuming an Epic developer is any better or more trustworthy. I mean these are the people who took 3 years to figure out how to add a shopping cart to a store front which itself is nothing more than a webpage and electron. I think that's a programming 101 homework assignment for anyone educated.

Honestly if it was AI generated I trust it more than anything else an Epic "developer" has produced.

Call it out as much as you want, your stupidity isn't actually contagious.

I agree with that. The issue is that if you look around enough you'll probably find those people with self inflicted problems are likely in a great majority.

The modern world has shifted to the point where we're no longer reading through TV guides to find out what is on cable / TV next week. In many cases people find out about a series after the last episode dropped, and then they want it *now*. Add to that the number of people who use their streaming service as a planning tool ("add to my list" or "favourites" or "watch later" depending on what service you use) and you've added a lock in dependency.

That said what you said also falls apart in a multi-person household. Someone is keen to watch something on one service, another on another. Are you going to give up watching Lanterns and tell the wife she's just going to have to wait a month before she can watch *insert show not on HBO*? I'm not that brave. :-)

All of the above. The thing about 133 commits for a day is that you only lose a day's worth of AI tokens when things go wrong. The thing about easy to commit code is it's easy to replace code.

A day's work is a day's work regardless of the number of commits, and "last known good" configuration also doesn't care about the number of commits.
