So, just sword and sandal Sims? Jesus, it sounds so plausible now.

Look at it this way, Google stopped caring about their viewers as anything more than wallets to empty years ago. Now they're going through the same cycle with advertisers. They don't care if the ads land, or the targeting works, just that they can convince them to keep buying ad space.

Eventually the ROI will show as not worth it to the advertisers, but by then Pichai and the rest of the C-suite will be pulling the same scam at another company whose investors are more greedy and stupid than saavy.

Because the horrible truth of America now, is that CEOs and their ilk have stopped caring about creating value, or building a sustainable business model with long term revenue. Now they just look at witless investors as wallets to be emptied too.

This puts the whole thing in new perspective. This sounds like conspiracy theory and delusion. I almost expect this from Insanepeoplefacebook.

That was a lame joke about the check mark. 😔

Why is Javascript on Twitter?

Didn't know they could look like that. Neat!

Thank you for correcting my misinformaion. I have edited my post, while pointing out the error, My sincere apologies.

I feel somewhat the same on single player, but this is competitive GAAS, and they knew exactly what they were doing when they did it here. People who do this seriously already know every map, every spawn and every weapons characteristics within three days. (I'm wrong about this see below) This is simply another pay to win mechanic for the kind of people who play 12 hours a day, reach max rank in three days and hunt rookies who didn't spend the extra money to play early.

I have been corrected and apologize for the mistake. It is not competitive and that mostly renders my point moot. I'm leaving this here for posterity.

This should be another origin scenario for Cyberpunk 2077.

There's still plenty of time for Rockstar to make this a mission in GTAVI.

If this functions to poll users broadly, then count another one for NOT federating. I came to Lemmy to not have my feed dominated by a tsunami of corporate junk curated by one of the worst influences in modern society. And if the counter argument is that I can block their content, then you can go join threads. I have no desire to be on a service where the majority of other users are constanly being fed crap from Meta and then interacting here, even if I can't see the initial influence. I can go elsewhere, sure, and will if they federate, but I like it so far and would rather not. But consider, at least, the kind of thing .world will become if the only people here are people who think, "Hey, maybe Zuck's new project won't be so bad!"

Yes! I wonder how a company working with Cambridge analytica to start a war, and influence elections worldwide, who sold children's personal information illegaly in EU, and gleefully partcipates in the Prism surveillance program, would be? 🤔 I mean it's not like they just gutted their staff trying to deal with misinformation for the 24 election. We simply can't predict how they might behave!
