Considering how much bloat a lot of AAA studios currently include in their games to try to justify $70+ prices, all I see this doing is massively increasing the standard. If a game has a base cost of $100 I'm going to look at everything with a far more critical eye than $60.
A new report suggests some AAA game studios "hope" Rockstar prices Grand Theft Auto 6 at $100 to set a precedent.
This hike would allow studios to raise their own prices to make up for their shortcomings: 80.lv/articles/gta-vi-might-…

Why didn’t you explain this? @BBCScotlandNews @STVNews
And yet more privatization of essential government services. I'd like to note that the privatization of the mail in the Netherlands wasn't exactly a solution that helped all that much in the long term, and the railroads are having similar problems as well.
Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky has been cleared to buy Britain’s iconic Royal Mail for $4.5 billion, after his company agreed to retain the Britain headquarters, pay taxes in the UK and even retain the Royal Mail's Crown cypher reut.rs/49Dn4Nm

BREAKING: Billionaires have raked in $276 BILLION since Trump's reelection.
America's billionaires now hold a record $6.7 TRILLION.
Republicans want to give them a tax handout worth at least $2.7 TRILLION.
This is how you build an economy that only works for the rich.
It also encourages devs to make the DLC worthwhile. Nobody involved in GOTY is going to care for 5 skins and a battle arena, but something like BL2's Tiny Tina adventure or Elden Ring's Shadow of the ErdTree is a different matter.

Yeah, shit like this is an automatic HARD uninstall for me. A "use external software to purge it from my machine" type uninstall (not that I ever installed this app in the first place)
Microsoft's Bing Wallpaper app got criticized online for its malware-like antics.

Amid the devastating impacts of climate-fueled disasters, the Department of Energy's core mission of researching and promoting cleaner energy solutions is more important than ever. Putting a champion of dirty fossil fuels in as the leader of the department would be a disastrous mistake.

The ability of demagogues & autocrats to surprise, to create a new scandal every day, is their superpower. It diminishes attention to the previous day's transgressions & normalizes them. It slowly numbs the senses, including outrage. Values are the only defense. Hold them dear.
