Hmmm, but you're comparing countries, and then the EU which is a group of only some European countries, There a several other European countries not in the EU. The EU will likely not exist in a decade or two (insert shocked face). Spain has Spaxit supporters, France Frexit. And Poland has just ruled that EU law cannot supersede it's national laws (which really really undermines the EU's authority ) it's a slippery slope. the UK is still one of the most economically significant European countries, and the center of Europe for many industries and sectors. Remember Europe = land mass, EU = union of some European countries. Many European initiatives will still include the UK, as it does Norway etc.

No, this is illogical thinking, and racist in itself. If you are constantly relating the word black or white to race, you have the issue. These are simply colors (or lack of if you want to go that way). The negative connotations of the black are numerous. Black is the dark, the night, the dirty, the sinister, evil, darkeness. But this has nothing to do with skin color! and this is true for all cultures worldwide, Same is true for white. It is bright, purity, clean, heavenly, This is because of the physical world, nothing to do with race whatsoever. Once you stop relating words like "black listing" to race or skin colour, and only focus on what it means, the racism completely disappears, because there never was any in the first place.

Have you got any stats for actual player base decline?The only info I've seen was a drop shortly after release, and specifically for destiny 2. This was one of the few games that was released with stadia at launch and it seems inevitable people will have played it initially to test performance and see what stadia can do, and then not ever play it again. As far as I'm aware there are no other stats on player base, but would be genuinely interested to see some if you have any.

Weird, why do you only want to read about stadia's "more interesting" competitors? Stadia is currently leading the way, and is particularly interesting because it is an entirely new player in the games hardware/delivery market. It seems to have the best performing product out there, though with the let games, and is evolving fast but growing slowly. Google is in no rush here. All the other players (with the most to lose) have been forced to rush to market with flakey betas. It's a fascinating time in gaming brought about by Stadia's release. But you only want to hear about the threatened established gaming industry offerings instead?

I know this is an interesting topic, but could people please explain why they are still posting on topic? I know the slashcott doesn't officially start til monday, but for some of you it seems you are quite unaware what the future of Slashdot actually holds, and are carrying on regardless. This will all be gone soon, or have I misunderstood Dice's plans and ignorance of what the slashdot audience really wants? Or do you honestly believe it'll all be ok?This is a serious question. I'm suspicious you are all shills, and confused why on posting, you all get straight to "score:2".

Hey, your post got modded up quick! Please reconsider posting at all, slashdot is about to die unless direct action by its users is taken, did you miss something?

Please don't post sensible replies like this. These are the stuff that they are able to "sell". This is what will ensure /. demise. Are you not aware what is going down? With no discernable "product" (aka "audience") slashdot towers may realise our actual worth, even if it might be too late Fuck Beta!

rinse!

Not unlike Soulskill yesterday, Timothy's "articles" are following an odd pattern. All articles are approx 3.50 hrs apart. Every one. Are they just automated? Or does "someone" have a specific schedule, of article, fake posts, shills, deletes, mod-downs, coffee, breathe, pray, check its not all a nasty dream.... Rise and repeat.

They'll be able to discover all the people on BETA BLOCKERS!

Slashdot is run by the devious. Why are so many of the "on TOpiC" replies by AC's...I wonder if.... oh just FUck Beta

Please excuse all the typos there. Something funny gone on with commenting, but still my fault. BETA spoils everything

Well, for instanceMaybe if Slashdot were based based in UK, they would be able to see the mental health problems of management, and arrest them under trumped up cahrges before they destroy swathes of actual meaningful communities. Please consider stopping sensible responses to Slashdot articles. Otherwise in a few weeks slashdot will drown under likes and selfies. Your post today kills tomorrow. Think, react, the only good post right now, if you like slashdot is of course, Fuck Beta.

What is this? Beta Filla? Please refrain from commenting too sensibly in order to attempt to save Slashdot.

Exactly. All this commenting about pith, when time is running out...it's like fish gasping for air for the last time.
