The same FTC that let Microsoft buyout one of the largest 3rd party publishers in the game industry by losing in court? I don’t think ChatGPT’s maker has anything to worry about. US regulators have no teeth if you are rich it seems.

If Microsoft caught up by building up 1st party studios nigh from scratch - which is what Sony did - I would have no complaints because anyone could do that. May the best company win. Buying up one of the biggest publishers though. What’s S

The 10 year guarantee means nothing as I can see Microsoft crippling non-Xbox versions of CoD - e.g. it has poorer performance on PS5.

MS is playing the long game. They don’t care about this generation. They want to win all future generations. 3rd party support plays a big part in a console’s success. MS is effectively buying out one of the largest 3rd party studios denyin

Reading is a perfectly fine way to increase one’s vocabulary. It’s not the only way - TV and actually conversation would work too. I don’t see why it’s a bad way. It’s cheap and doesn’t require manpower per session.
