I mean, not really. They had it working out great for years.

Then they killed the API.

Probably easier to be more productive when you live somewhere that gives a damn about you and your wellbeing.

AI is great for complicated personal questions, in my experience. I've asked Bing AI a lot of personal self-discovery questions, trying to figure out my sexuality among other things.

It's an eight year old smartwatch. I feel like most of the target audience already has a newer model.

Look man, I'm super tech-savvy and I straight-up almost never made it over here from reddit because the explanation of it that someone was giving just sounded shitty and convoluted. Now think about how much effort someone who uses Gmail as a substitute for knowing how email works is willing to put in.

Considering HZD is, to my knowledge, the only Sony game on GOG, I'd say they gave it a shot and it didn't pan out.

I imagine this is a mix of things. UE5 has officially been out for a while, their biggest competitor just offed themselves, Fortnite's UE editor support is out and thus Fortnite probably doesn't need as many devs now with UGC to pick up the slack, etc.

That's still a huge chunk of people though. Wonder if all these financial gambles they've taken are starting to add up.

Just update a current game and put a 2 on it?

It was a "ground-up" rebuild on Source 2, so while it carries forward all the CSGO content and aims to "play the same" in terms of movement and gunplay (with the exception of improvements like subtick actions), I'd say it's way more of an actual "2." New engine with all kinds of fancy lighting and other improvements, new assets (including weapon and character models, some of which were still originally in the 2013 CSGO launch), remakes and retouches of maps, vastly improved map-making tools, some nifty accessibility features (your walking sounds appearing on the radar) and quality of life features (selling back misbought items, or the picture-in-picture grenade throw practice camera), and some huge balance changes (games are now shorter, players now need to more strategically choose their weapons, smoke grenades are voxel-based and can be cleared out with gunfire and grenades, skyboxes are now open for grenade tosses, etc.)

It looks the same but with some lighting changes on the surface, but it's actually huge.

Because after a $3.49 payment, I never see ads again and this app is noticeably better than the Lemmy apps I've been stuck with until now.

Not allowing to ship out paid orders is not forgivable no matter the situation imo.

Because Chrome just stopped working on my PC one day like a decade ago.

Sony management didn't even see a point to backwards compatibility until recently and still can't be bothered to figure out PS3 emulation. It's easily the console's greatest flaw imo.
