  • I feel like this is the “WoW Clause”. I can see a lot of games going to subscription based models now. Since you can’t just “patch in” private servers, I could see games like PUBG/Fortnite/etc having to go this route.

    Remember that after WoW got big, many online games released with a subscription model. Most of them died quickly or had to switch to a free to play or freemium model.

    Going back to sub only would likely severely harm their overall revenue. I can see them try, I just don’t see them succeed in dodging the regulation this way.




  • I play mostly in docked through a JSAUX dock on my TV. It has it’s issues, definitely not as seamless as something like the switch.

    Sometimes the connection to the TV drops and it goes black for a few seconds, sometimes the TV doesn’t want to see the input from the deck at all unless I reboot both, sometimes my controllers lose connection for a few seconds. Some of which may be issues with the dock of course.

    Also, performance is mostly good for pixel art and similar things. With a lot of 3D games I have to compromise between graphics and framerate.

    It’s a lot of money for something that only plays certain games well. So I would not recommend it to somebody with my use case.



  • Businesses do not pay wealth tax and will stay where they are. They’d also be much costlier and harder to relocate than private residences.

    A person can only consume so much, regardless of how rich they are (that’s the entire core of the issue here). The gardener trimming their bushes doesn’t really make a difference in the big picture.

    States are encouraging them to come because A they are run by politicians who want those sweet donations and B they are run by neoliberals who have bought into the same myth that individuals with wealth automatically create jobs and wealth magically trickles down.

    Because it’s not necessarily correct. There’s so many fields dedicated to growing energy plants that covering just a part of those would be sufficient to electrify the entire transport sector. That’s just fields for plants for Biofuels etc., not a single beautiful picturesque meadow, not a single field that grows food.

    Of course covering car parks is a good idea too, but it’s more expensive, and it’s a climate change denier’s strawman that covering fields would supposedly endanger our food supply or ruin our landscapes.
