It would be funny if Skydance tried to renegotiate the deal or back out entirely, based on how all this nonsense has affected Paramount's value.

Users on reddit and lemmy always seem to think ad-based stuff is going to fail, and then it turns out people in the real world are depressingly accepting of ads. I would bet that this program is more likely to be expanded than canceled.

Australia has never contemplated imposing a similar tax. New Zealand tried but backed down last week after the United States threatened to impose higher tariffs on New Zealand goods.

What happened in New Zealand is almost certainly what will happen in Australia. This will go nowhere.

Microsoft owns id's parent company these days, and Microsoft provides services to the Israeli military.

Well the AI companies and investors should have understood that building an industry off of doing something questionable was risky and risks don't always work out.

Last month's Steam survey had 1080p as the most common primary display resolution at about 55%, while 4k was at 4.57%.

The full tweet:

Majority of gamers are still playing at 1080p and have no use for more than 8GB of memory. Most played games WW are mostly esports games. We wouldn't build it if there wasn't a market for it. If 8GB isn't right for you then there's 16GB. Same GPU, no compromise, just memory options.

I don't think he's that far off; eSports games don't have the same requirements as AAA single-player games.

When President Donald Trump and Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred met at the White House last month, they discussed one of the president’s passion projects — reinstating baseball star Pete Rose to make him eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame.

This week, that’s exactly what Manfred did.

When I heard Pete Rose was going to be eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame my immediate reaction was to joke that "Somehow this is Donald Trump's fault". I didn't think I'd be right.

The numbers seem to come from SteamDB's instant search.

There's about a thousand more Verified and Playable games than two months ago.

There was a time when sneering at international law would not have been a good look for someone aspiring to be Prime Minister of Canada.

But, charting new territory, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre contemptuously called Justin Trudeau “woke” for indicating Canada would abide by a ruling of the International Criminal Court (ICC) — a court that Canada helped establish to punish war criminals.

Poilievre specifically rejects the legitimacy of the ICC charges against Netanyahu, on the specious grounds that Netanyahu was democratically elected.
