We are all hot dogs on this blessed day. 🙌

I'd sign up for another lockdown as long as we get a new round of Tiger King with it.

"You're all buying it regardless."

What's "short" about the short-sightedness, though? I've been a Game Pass subscriber for something like 8 years and it's still crushing it as far as services go - probably moreso now than any year prior.

Will it last / remain a good deal forever? Nope. But nothing does/is. Might as well enjoy the great variety of games I'd never purchase (like Blue Prince, Arcade Paradise, Shipbreaker, South of Midnight, Expedition 33, etc.) along with the convenience of access to games I totally would pay for (like THPS 1+2, Gears, Diablo, etc.). Plus the built-in rewards subsidize like 1/4 of the cost.

When (not "if", when) they jack up the price to a point that's not worth the games or I don't have enough time to play to justify the spend, I'll just cancel.

What the fuck kind of headline is this? Do they employ editors at checks link THE NEW YORK TIMES?

Yeah, from that perspective this reads roughly like when the Zoom CEO started forcing his own people back into the office. Basically tells the market that your company has no real faith in the claims it makes about its products.

It'd be interesting to see a histogram of release (s1) years for these. At a glance, it looks like there's some major recency bias at play.

Wholly agreed. There are no ethical billionaires. Fight me.

+1 to both of these!

John Carter was accused of being too derivative, but hilariously its source material (the book A Princess of Mars) was the great-grandaddy of science fantasy as a genre. So JC is derivative of a bunch of movies that got their ideas and inspiration from APoM.
