You guarantee immunity and anonymity?

Is that the same kind of guarantee you gave about never attacking Ukraine when they gave up nukes?

Any one want to guess who will really end up paying for the price hike?

It’s not AT&T.

Yeah, but Kotick was not really the real issue. He’s a straw man of sorts, a target dummy, designed to draw fire for unpopular decisions.

It is the board and shareholders who massively incentivized him into that behaviour. CEOs are brought in to act in the interests of shareholders, while also abstracting them away from blame and direct culpability.

The goal of blizzard (and any other publically listed company) is wealth creation for shareholders via share price growth, not making games per se.

And for them to both be eclipsing at the same time, crazy odds… or, dare I say it, astronomical

Why is PCMag supporting more Twitter usage? It’s a poison, a platform for mass manipulation.

Wow you’re being down voted hard.

One of the problems with anonymous payments is that they can be used by foreigners with deep pockets, money laundering (which snowballs into much bigger problems), etc. I can understand why they’d push back so hard.

The problem with tracked payments is the loss of privacy and over control. Can understand why they’d push back so hard here too.

One of those issues with no good solutions in sight. Yet. Maybe. You basically have to pick your poison.

Hey everyone, we’ve finally done it, we’ve found the one quote that will make trumpets see reason!

I had the impression that people running for office in Mexico were being assassinated a lot, if she is real force for good then I hope she’s safe

Man, the internet archive is one of the good sites that’s not a puke gobbling corporate, can we direct attacks to someone worthy of the heat instead?

Imagine China comes out on top over the next few decades and then reach AGI with the CCP mindset.

That would be the enslavement of humanity on a scale never before seen or imagined

Is it high prices or is it less spending power in the majority of citizens?

And then the inevitable industrial shrink caused by that seems so surprising to everyone

Ubi is meant to provide people with basic survivability in an increasingly automated world.

I cannot imagine a worse idea than putting basic survivability in the hands of a shareholder bound corporation.

Playing this now, it’s really good. I last played just after EA launch, a lot has been added and refined.

Shareholders don’t care about anything other than a rising share price, and one of the ways to get that is through cheap labor.

Responsible operation? Don’t make me laugh.

And just to be clear: They’re not responsible for those crimes themselves, no sir. No way.

In 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

"… accelerate the Company’s revenue growth and profitability.”

Yeah, that’s the problem.

Riccitiello is actually not gone it seems, he’s the chair of the board.

So that influence is still there, not that it matters, we’ve moved on to other platforms where there’s still some trust (for now).

Edit: I misread the sentence in the article, it seems the chair went to someone else

Everyone would lose, but sometimes that has to happen to stop dictators from running over the world.

I’m holding something the size of a mobile phone with no screen or buttons. Specs are that it supports up to 400mb/s NNB, or Native Neural Bandwidth.

Fortunately it’s the newer wireless model so I don’t have to worry about cable management in my hair.

Agreed, the first steps toward fixing this are much deeper.
