Old men pine for their glory days. Miles Davis confessed a bittersweet nostalgia for hard bop even as he pushed himself and his collaborators into a then-uncertain jazz-rock. The young folks who idolise them confuse that nostalgia for capit

Voice chat has been a “staple” but it’s consistently a torrent of abuse in the most mainstream games for almost two decades now. God help you if your voice presents female. The game industry loves the mainstream ignorance on this issue. Epi

It makes me squirm but Overwatch 2, Diablo Immortal, and Wow classic were smash hits all. Blizzard is more profit than ever, entertaining more people than ever. That said…I agree with you, though I doubt MS would help. https://ww

It’s all about scale. You’re not going to get the same deal from TSMC and Corning from Apple. Market dominance and value-from-scale make for a positive feedback loop that only considerably-risky ventures can threaten. Consider how so many c
