They refuse to use the S?

People should have had huge campaigns to allow for reselling digital licenses many years ago. Focusing on talking about wanting discs wasn’t enough.

In fact, wasn’t there a judgement about Steam libraries?

But then you don’t fully own it when the server is taken down. Doesn’t sound like the solution people in this thread want.

So is that market the last $1 billion still buying physical? A graph was passed around showing sales are down from an $11 billion peak in 2009 nearly 20 years ago.

I wonder how much of that last billion is Switch. I assume physical sales are higher there. But I might be way off.

Yeah. The previous cycles are unsustainable. And we all need to update our expectations.

Lots of user generated content across most platforms is poorly designed nonsense.

And the GPU makers were already approaching a plateau around the first RTX cards.

Node shrinks have dried up. Gamers got use to those handing them major leaps.

Baseline numbers compared to top end numbers don’t make sense. 700 vs 1050.

What? Now 5 eyes is doing marketing too?! /s

Cognitive surrender.

Ohhh, thanks for clarifying.

This is a Lemmy post for a digg post for a poly market post on Twitter?

What the heck is going on.

Getting over the aesthetics hurdle is going to be so difficult for AR glasses.

Everyone keeps saying VR isn’t what people want, they want AR glasses.

But then the first AR glasses are not exceptionally thin and small. So it’s revealed that people were saying they actually wanted something seemingly impossible instead.

I have faith that the industry could get to “small enough” eventually. But I don’t know if the market will give them the runway they need to get there. Anyone paying attention knows what they are showing is a major improvement on previous AR devices in size and weight. But your average person looks at it and laughs at how big it is.

I wonder if the industry has the fortitude to keep pressing forward. Because if AR glasses did work as people dream they can, in the form factor they expect, then everyone will want them. Even if we have to set up strict laws around them.

I find it ironic that PCMR was always really “Microsoft Master Race.”

Windows PC Master Race.

It’s petroleums all the way down.

China isn’t allowed to use advanced expensive US models. And US nationals can’t afford advanced expensive US models so they want to use Chinese models.

What a weird situation. Huh?

Gooners don’t use Apple products anyway. Right??

DoorDash supplanting meals on wheels is terrible. I don’t mean to argue otherwise.

I think awareness of the options was really low, though. And that’s probally what I’m speaking to. And I expect my ignorance was shared. I see your point though. And I can see how I was speaking from ignorance there.

While maybe more people are aware of a way to deliver food and basic supplies in the era of DoorDash, I never really meant to defend them. It just made sense to me that the pervasiveness of DoorDash is improving access. But it’s definitely not improving affordability. Not at all, holy shit.

Pizza every day isn’t great.

And those other contexts were not as pervasive as DoorDash has become.
