Yep. It’ll be pushed back again and again and again and eventually they’ll release something that looks nothing like the cyber truck called the Model Tee and it’ll be fine. The cyber truck, like the roadster, will be lost to history.

Yeah I’m sure being the same price as a normal F150 and having zero competition had nothing to do with it. It’s also not coming out so it’s utterly irrelevant also.

Sure it did. At $100 a pop when it was a $40k truck and the only EV option. Call me when they sell one.

If you think the cyber truck is a threat to the F150 I’m not sure what to tell you.

If you’d wouldn’t rather watch the Mummy than sit in rush hour traffic, I’m impressed.

BYU did something horrible in the past. Sanderson shows that he supports LGBTQ+ people. But you think it’s… pandering? Interesting.

Reply to comment by BrokeBoiForLife in Microsoft-Activision deal: Gamers sue to stop merger by marketrent
Antitrust legislation is rarely leveled against companies for having zero competition. It’s used to prevent companies from securing a market advantage that would be unfriendly towards customers. I know this can be a nuanced issue but I’m really shocked that so many people just can’t grasp how Microsoft’s acquisition of the largest company in gaming should be reason for concern.

Really? I must say I am surprised to hear that people are not concerned about the consolidation of power at the top of the gaming industry. Thankfully, it looks like the FTC is. So that’s nice!

You asked how it was close to a monopoly. I thought it was fairly clear but, evidently not! Happy to have been of assistance.

It does not have to be a pure monopoly. It’s simply an unreasonable market advantage. Call of Duty alone is normally the top two selling games each year. That’s a huge amount of power. It also paves the way for huge acquisitions by Sony and Microsoft. Three manufacturers absolutely dominate console game sales and Activision is the largest of them. If this domino falls, it’s a race to the bottom so far as other acquisitions are concerned.

It seems to me that Game Pass blows PS Plus out of the water but maybe I’m missing something.

It’s not a bad story exactly. It’s just so lifeless. It does not feel like you should care about it. It’s hard to describe it appears.
I suppose the best way to sim it up is that finishing it fells like a chore to be done rather than something to enjoy. It’s not good. It’s not bad. It’s just bleh.

They have zero history of launching a truck also. I’m sure it’ll come. All in good time. A year here, three years there.
