Forge existed in Halo 5 too, and doesn't impact the campaign....

Yes they do, I've rewatched seasons 2-9 of the Simpsons about 25+ times, I've watched it's always sunny a similar amount, my dad has seen the movie Independence day about 300 times. Both of us play the same sport, which we've played most of our lives.

That's easier said and done with movies and tv where the enjoyment isn't dependent on player base. For multiplayer games at a certain point you have often have to move to the newer versions.

Eh I don't think that's necessarily fair.

The best multiplayer in the series was Halo 5, which is also the farthest from the original in many ways. It just had a crappy story.

Then Halo Infinite was great, and extremely faithful to the original, but I would argue to a fault, as you could see them repeating the exact same story beats and moments rather than coming up with new ones.

The music was great, but the Puma (jeep), was also a huge part of it. The developers are on record talking about how they made the Puma, realized how fun it was, and then basically built the whole game around having fun moments with it.

No, it's not.

It's literally a concept no normie knows about nor would care about.

They are not trying to follow some tankie on a banned Marxist instance, they're trying to follow cute cat pictures on lemmy.world.

End of the day, just like with safe site filters etc, you'll end up with most instances following similar enough protocols and federating with each other and the vast majority of people seeing the vast majority of people, with some fringes blocked for some people.

I mean, you and him might be saying literally the same thing.

His point was that we can't hit our climate targets because society is not organized in a way that allows us to. Everyone reorganizing around their unquestioning allegiance to an AI overlord would change that though.

Google will have to distribute rival third-party app stores within Google Play, and it must give rival third-party app stores access to the full catalog of Google Play apps, unless developers opt out individually.

It's both, and honestly a pretty genius move on the judge's part. "Oh you keep finding ways of leveraging this gate to uncompetitively make money, well how about I just mandate that you give access to both sides of the gate to everyone else."

This is a wild downplay of this.

The judge is forcing Google to let third party app stores sell and distribute all the apps in the Google Play Store. That s massive.

So your opinion is that Amazon's leadership decisions are always perfect and they have perfect insight into their company and foresight? That leadership of a tech company has never before undervalued the importance of their engineering staff, or how willing they were to quit in the face of an RTO mandate?

This is pessimistic nonsense.

No, Amazon is still very dependent on their software engineers, and no, it's actually quite easy to move cloud offerings and they face stiff competition from both Azure and GCP amongst others.

Also, virtually every single internal piece of HR, management, customer service, DevOps, random internal tool to do X, is written by other software teams at Amazon. You fundamentally do not understand how big tech companies operate if you think they can afford to hemmorage engineering talent without impacting their bottom line in a multitude of ways.

And this is not even to mention the competition that Amazon faces across all its different businesses: Kobo in ebooks, Roku, Google, and Apple TV in streaming boxes; Netflix, Disney, HBO, YouTube in streaming video; Google, Apple, Spotify, Tidal, in music streaming; Shopify, PayPal, Visa, etc in payment processing; Walmart, Best Buy, Shopify, in eretail, etc. etc. etc.

Congrats then on making a bold pedantic claim that you can't actually back up and is based on nothing.

Big round of applause for yourself. I'm sure the Valve software engineers who know how profitable they are happily accept lower salaries than their counterparts at Amazon and Meta. Such wisdom.
