If piracy was a problem I can find them multiple international corporations that are well know for using copyrighted content to train their LLM without paying for it or having permission from the owner of that content.

This is what happens when the person running the business does not patronize the business and is only interested in short term profits.

They didn’t have a good history before that either. MS sucks at everything.

My guess is that these Chinese manufacturers will kill the old automakers that are in rapid decline after decades of low quality products at high prices.

I don’t know if the Chinese brands have good quality but they’re priced lower than the expensive low quality trash that’s already on the market from all the other automakers.

Why would they create the optical to digital DRM program if they were keeping optical drives in the next system?

MS wanted to kill the secondary market since the start of the 8th generation in 2014. Their DRM rules are a big reason why a lot of people dropped Xbox to switch to PlayStation.

Their product hasn’t done anything new or different in a while. They keep coming out with a bunch of scary hype stories every day so it all seems fake as hell now.

Is there any reason why you or anyone would give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt?

Expect the worst from MS and you’ll never be disappointed.

The real reason to kill disks is to create the zero ownership future that corporations and private equity have been salivating for. They are training entire generations of consumers to accept less and pay more while they will own nothing and have no good choices.

All to trap people in their digital ecosystem. They could have easily offered an optional optical drive on their next system.

MS sucks.

I haven’t tried the Indiana Jones game. I usually stay away from games with preexisting licenses because they tend to be more for general audiences than people that are into gaming.

I’ll add it to my wishlist.

The reboot trilogy was a bit too close to Uncharted. I enjoyed those as shooters but they never felt like a true continuation of classic Lara Croft games.

Death Stranding style of traversal challenge is closer to classic Lara Croft than Uncharted ever was. The bean counters only follow trends though.

grappling hook, RPG-esque stats, skill trees and quick time events

So many game developers only know how to do derivative slop.

I am hoping for a more realistic and challenging Tomb Raider game instead of cinematic crap that plays itself. I don’t think it’s ever going to happen.

I think it’ll be closer to $300.

A normal part of game optimization is making sure that it doesn’t take up all the storage space on every device.

What exam is in that game that justifies those file sizes?

It’s very easy to imagine war machines with a shoot on sight algorithm. It doesn’t have to be AGI for it to be good at hinting people down.

Home owners would complain about property values because they care about unrealized gains more than a working economy.

I’ve tried a lot of great hardware that is literally just a slight button angle change from being absolutely perfect.

Does anyone actually prefer the angle of the A and B buttons like that for most games?

Samsung uses monopoly tactics and government support to bankrupt smaller companies and then raise prices. They’re scum.

RAM is so important to the world economy that their patents should be made public.
