The problem with UWP is that nobody liked or wanted it, so obviously it died. Developers got locked into a walled garden, Xbox users saw no benefit (until recently with emulators, but I digress), Windows phone users practically didn't exist to build apps for, and PC gamers got the real short end of the stick with everything becoming a buggy, locked-down, performance-hampering, feature-lacking mess.
Outside of letting Microsoft half-ass port some Xbox titles to PC, it was pretty much useless.
Linux suffers from being a patchwork of hobbyists updates, corporate additions, and patchy distro support. When it comes down to it, if you have an issue, you either have to solve it on your own or hope and pray the elitists on StackOverflow are in a good mood.
Debatable, considering all that's stopping you from using it for free is a watermark and lack of personalization options.
Plus, I'm using the Windows 10 Education key my college gave me, and my Windows 7 Home key from way back in the day would work too, as well as the Windows 8 key that came with my Surface Pro 3. The cost feels like a formality tbh.
Considering their subscription competitor costs $204 a year while they were at $120/yr, I think it's pretty clear why they boosted the upper tiers so much. Even with this price increase, it's still $44 cheaper than Ultimate and imo a better overall value in terms of game quality.
What's really trash is that they're increasing the price of the base PS+ membership, and by so much. It now costs $150 a year to play just Madden, CoD, or EA Soccer, on top of a minimum $400 console purchase. That's absurd. I would say this is a W for Xbox, but they already tried to increase the price of Gold and they'll definitely try again now that they know there's no escaping it.
I have useless managers at work that like to try and bend the rules, and it gets hella on their nerves when I just outright ignore or argue with them because I know they're wrong and that they can't justify firing me. I recommend anyone else in that position humble those "above" them when possible.
It's wild, actually. I got away with saying "this is why no one likes you" to one because they were the instigator after I'd annoyed them enough. Like they went to the next level up in management over it and got told they were the one in trouble lmfao
The crazy far-right people are a minority, they're just very loud and obnoxious. Normal people don't care about stuff that doesn't affect them or anyone else.
Yes. "Leaks" get people excited for upcoming product launches and, in a case like this, might keep people from upgrading their phone for a while and waiting to see how this one performs.
Gonna be real with you, this is a terrible take. I'd much rather have games pushing boundaries at the cost of some bugs rather than a bunch of the same old regurgitated elements over and over to be safe.
GTA3 had plenty of bugs, the Purple Nines glitch being particularly infamous. Literally nobody out there is saying "wow, I wish they'd stuck with the top-down style games instead of going 3D because this bug has seriously inconvenienced me."
More "fired" than "retired." Idiot got dropped from WWE for being an idiot, no doubt AEW had no intention of picking up WWE's refuse, and now all he had to look forward to was minor indie shows for the rest of his career.
Trump getting locked up is going to be one hell of a birthday present. To be honest, I thought this country was legit too corrupt to ever even get this far.
It's the same as when Elden Ring dropped. Even people who never played Souls games prior were picking it up because it was just a complete, solid open world RPG.
I've never played Baldur's Gate before, but I'm probably gonna pick 3 up to play with my roommate in splitscreen.
The funny thing about this is the assumption that land ownership matters in the event of the apocalypse. Having your fancy bunker location public is probably the wrong thing to do.
Even in shithole red state Oklahoma, we grow up learning that unions are good and Pinkertons are awful. It's literally taught in schools.
