Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....
Yep, it's why everyone is raising prices, introducing ads and stopping password sharing, Netflix was the case that proved it works, there was a dip but now they have more users than before it.
What's happening to games in this gen is just what happened to the larger tech industry before, MBAs that pretend to be human are put in charge of a product after creators already made it successful.

Reminds me of Notch's late tirades after selling mohjang, dude was clearly bored so picked fights on twitter every week. I'm glad he's finding purpose again after deleting his account on a dare with another big game design youtuber.

More than anything, though, it’s a gut punch because it sends a message. The wrong message, really. Xbox had one major studio in Japan - no more.

You've been WAY behind on japan's opinion of PC games, it's easier now to count the games that don't receive a port than games that do, like Unicorn Overlord. I dreamed of having Persona and Like A Dragon on PC back then. Even the newest idolm@ster is on steam and people are making a translation for it.
Since it's just a massive headache for niche devs nowadays they are just skipping the Playstation version altogether, like the new Bunny Garden having only switch and PC versions.
After experiencing janitor AI and local models I'm certainly not coming back to character AI, why waste so much time trying to jailbreak a censored model when we have ones that just do as they are told?
Can't speak for them but in my part of the country shipping fees are pretty high, so prime was actually a great thing when they started doing it here, I do save more than I would if instead I shopped for a slightly cheaper version with crazy high shipping in another store.
