Kotick says PlayStation’s CoD revenue is 2x higher than Xbox CoD revenue; says PlayStation being successful has lead to CoD’s success too

This is why the paid exclusivity deals from Sony seem really anti-consumer, even if they are only temporary exclusivity (most sales happen at launch).

If you already have the most market share, and by quite a large margin (the Switch is bit of a different market), then it’s a lot easier for you to buy exclusivity deals because a developer will be losing a lot less sales by being exclusive to PlayStation than by being exclusive to Xbox.

Of course, these exclusivity deals then further grow PlayStation’s higher market share in a positive feedback loop and this ultimately leads to less competition and worse outcomes for consumers.

You can still buy the games outside of Game Pass.

Skyrim.

If you had an account and then deleted it, you will get this page until you delete you beehaw cookies. It tries to automatically log you in on your old account and then fails with this error as it was deleted.

I’m not sure if this is unique to beehaw or across all Lemmy instances.

Not really, I started using it in 2008 but it’s changed a lot since then. Recently I’ve just been using it for talking about books and video games.

I used Apollo, and after the way they treated the creator, there’s no way I would use Reddit again.

Yeah, delete your account too.

It’s like Cortes burning the ships.

I don’t really care. I don’t visit Reddit anymore and don’t intend to return.

You are just describing joining any one of the dozens on instances that aren’t defederated from Beehaw or Lemmy.world - your INAA.net already exists in the form of all those instances which Beehaw didn’t defederate from.

I join the largest existing alternative - for example for technology the lemmy.ml one is already very large so I just join that.

We ask them why they aren’t helping the tortoise in the desert.

They defederated from lemmy.world and another large instance as they said there was an influx of abusive users from these instances and their small, centralised moderation team was unable to manage it.

They can do what they want though. But so can lemmy.world

lemmy.world is both more stable (like the server doesn’t go down) and has less political extremists.

I don’t get the controversy over 30fps. Like I played RDR2 at 30fps and didn’t even notice it.

The gameplay itself is far more important and on that front Bethesda has been second to none. There isn’t even one single game that comes close to what they have achieved in The Elder Scrolls. Kingdom Come: Deliverance was close but much smaller in scope (which makes sense given the size of the studio).

I’ve played every single one of their games since Morrowind and while Fallout 76 was a flop and Fallout 4 was perhaps a bit disappointing, at least without DLC, almost all of their games have been incredible.

In Todd we trust.

Yes. We won’t see their own instance at all. What we see from beehaw atm is the outdated copies we have from prior to defederation.

I don’t either.

Yeah, the solution is just to leave beehaw though. It takes a few minutes to make a new account on another instance. If they really want to access the beehaw stuff they could join an instance that is still federated with them, that way they could see the beehaw posts and the lemmy.world posts.

It’s probably best just to abandon beehaw entirely though and use alternative communities in the Fediverse.

Yeah, I suspect they will move to a whitelist the moment that functionality becomes available. Or just defederate entirely from everything and become a walled garden.

Same, I’ve found the attitude really positive here. It reminds me of early Reddit in like 2008.
