There is a nearly zero percent chance that the game developers are also cloud experts. Having the same parent company means almost nothing, especially when you get to the size of places like Microsoft. The internal bureaucracy can actually make getting things accomplished properly worse. External contracts are usually pretty clear on what's provided for the payment. Internal processes are often much more blurry, if not completely muddy.

I'd say it's more on how the developers setup their system to utilize (or not utilize) those dynamic capabilities.

The game devs not taking advantage of that properly should be on them. Put the blame where it belongs.Don't let the devs off the hook just because you want to at least partially blame the MS cloud. Microsoft's systems CAN handle dynamic loads when setup properly, we see it all the time.

I mean that's what happens when you cancel everything and close studios.

Can't release anything if you aren't making it.

I mean the Onion was overshadowed only because real life went off the rails and became a parody of itself.

No shit. This was obvious from day one. This was never AGI, and was never going to be AGI.

Institutional investors saw an opportunity to make a shit ton of money and pumped it up as if it was world changing. They'll dump it like they always do, it will crash, and they'll make billions in the process with absolutely no negative repercussions.

Because they have no actual proof of it, and direct evidence against it. They talk about phones communicating with each other to restart... yet a phone inside a faraday box restarted.

It's almost certainly just a software bug in iOS which is why it's inconsistent.

It protects you from being compelled to provide biometrics to unlock the device. Since the courts have made a distinction between providing a password and biometrics to unlock devices for whatever asinine reason.

Good. Now let us emulate and mod your damned games in peace.

Oh it's simpler than that. They just go around the requirement via loopholes in the agreements. They know they're required to give priority, so they just make the freight trains too long to fit on the side track on those routes. So if there's a conflict, the freight train physically cannot get out of the way and the passenger one has to.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. Konami is obviously involved since they own the IP, but so far what we've seen and heard seems to indicate they're staying out of it.

The Producer is Noriaki Okamura and, while he does have Metal Gear Survive to account for, he also worked on several Metal Gear games with Kojima, including Metal Gear Solid V, Zone of the Enders, and Policenauts.

The Creative Producer is Yuji Korekado and he's worked on nearly every Metal Gear game over the years under Kojima.

It's being handled by legacy Metal Gear lead developers that worked with Kojima before, not an entirely different team remastering something they have no experience with.

As great as Kojima is, he can get in his own way sometimes. I don't think he would be good at making a faithful remaster, it would turn into something completely different by the end. He's much more about pushing boundaries in storytelling, not adapting already told stories, even if it is his own just being retold.

There are varying levels of moderation, and not all moderation is unpaid volunteer like lemmy and reddit. Not all moderation is just morons fighting or porn being posted where it shouldn't. There are dedicated moderation teams that handle the worst things like child sexual abuse verification and reporting at sites like Facebook, etc. Those are pretty objective based determinations that don't need to handle moderation criticism or concerns in any way shape or form.
