Anything to reduce salaries.

“Nope, we’re making less money than ever, more cuts are coming.”

It certainly feels like every business in the USA is on team “make weird business decisions and excuses as a way to shaft worker pay and rights.”

theangriestbird,

you’re definitely on to something. I think they got scared by the surge of unions and strikes post-COVID, and now they’re trying to push us into a recession to make us desparate again.

SnotFlickerman,

Oh yeah, there’s no doubt about that. It was over two years ago that economists were already crowing about how soon people would be running out of their “pandemic savings” and would have to buckle under pressure again. They never hide this stuff, if you pay attention to the right people, they’re right out there being super honest about what they’re doing and what they want.

They want to starve the citizens out, which is crazy when you consider the old statement “No society is more than three meals away from revolution.” They’d rather risk pushing us to revolution by turning the screws rather than give up any amount of power, control, or wealth.

As far back as 2021 they were talking about people running out of “pandemic savings.”

That’s… the point? That’s also why MS (allegedly) pays big devs so much to be on the service

theangriestbird,

the article is mostly reporting on “a Q&A on the InstalBase forums” with “business journalist Christopher Dring”. The headline kind of makes the 80% figure sound like a bad thing, but I think it’s more meant to share info with the public that industry insiders already know about. No producer working at EA is shocked by this figure, but the headline is not for them. This info is still helpful for many groups, like maybe new devs who aren’t yet industry insiders, but need to know what they are getting into before they sign a shitty Game Pass deal with Microsoft.

GammaGames,

Makes sense! It’s news worth sharing, I just wasn’t really surprised 😆 especially with how Netflix and Spotify decimated their respective industries

On top of music recommendations, I might get some game recommendations from this list as well. Definitely saving this post for future reference.

Nothing released this year will even come close to touching the Warframe 1999 soundtrack. Absolute bangers from start to finish, and in particular Party of Your Lifetime is the most addictive bop you will have heard all year.

Warframe invented a fictional nineties boyband, and accidentally made them unbelievably awesome.

I like how they gave Lena Raine credit for specifically Celeste 64, the 8bit minigame INSIDE of the game, instead of the game itself lol

I love the fact that classical and other instrumental music is still part of popular culture, and thriving, in no small part through the games we play every day. Thanks for posting this.

That article is 10x longer than it needed to be, in a good way. They must have sent out emails to EVERYONE.

very cool to see how many people chose OSTs that are super different from their own work

Great choices all around. I should listen to the Fantasian soundtrack more.

Even if Microsoft bails out from the console hardware market, they still have dominance from the amount of Windows users who play games on their machines through it.

Well duh, if both consoles end up averaging close to $1,000 after tax then of course households are only going to buy one and that’s if they don’t just decide to go PC instead at that point. Especially with the cost of subscriptions going up again, it’s becoming financially draining

My prediction is that sony and microsoft will have benchmarks 3rd party devices have to hit in order to buy a “PS6 Compatable” logo for their product. So you can buy a Msi Claw 3 or whatever, sign into the PSN and shop the sony catalogue.

finally, it’s time for the Ouya to rise from the ashes and claim its place alongside the switch 2

essteeyou,

Oh good, I’ll dust mine off.

P1nkman,

essteeyou,

There’s dozens of us!
