And typically the boycotters weren't even the sort of people who were buying a switch 2 to begin with. Maybe there's a subsection of them that will result in some loss of sales but it would be in the fraction of a percent. There's no surprise to me when gamer boycotts fail.

I think ESL could be a factor. Definitely LLMs have better English prose than this. I'm so used to seeing long running AI slop articles answering basic questions in 1000 words (rather than 10) and this reads similar.

Definitely pumping up the word count. The paragraph used to come around to the fact that Metacritic (not steam) is the site where SMKW is being review bombed gave me visceral feelings of anger.

Is this article written by AI? Some long running, poorly phrased sentences here.

Indeed. I think if you know about the other storefronts and isthereanydeal you don't get a wrapped about steam summer sale. There's usually some new ATLs that push newer/bigger game prices down a bit further than usual though.

Lot of people saying it's Meh but ones that I've been tempted by are:

ATL 53% off for Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate edition

• this passes the $60 AUD threshold which I've been holding out for

Crash Bandicoot Nsane trilogy for 90% off

Stanley parable ultimate edition at lowest price since 2023

• deals for this game have been tepid since December 2023, but this matches the ATL

This is the easiest way for sure.

That would be a shakeup. If they released a Gaming veraion of Windows on a PC with quick resume that also played much of the Xbox library going back to the OG Xbox, that could appeal to a lot of people.

Its shocking to me that Xbox is run by the same company that has an operating system installed on 71% of the worlds computers, and they still haven't figured out how to leverage that for Xbox gaming.

I think there's a scenario where they had sufficient enough measures in place, but I guess that will be shown through the lawsuit.

12 is remembered more fondly than maybe it deserves. The Gambit system was interesting though.

I dunno. I think as a platform that heavily markets to kids, they have a responsibility to ensure that those kids aren't preyed upon on their platform. If you took a child to a live action Bluey play, you'd be expected to keep an eye on your child, but you'd also have a reasonable expectation that the event holders have taken some measures as hosts to keep the kids safe from a variety of hazards including suspicious adults.

Okay, we need to right this ship. Everyone who works on the south end of the office: get to work on optimisation. The rest of you, you're fired.
