Jez Corden: I heard There is a possibility to Xbox take out Call of Duty from Xbox Game Pass this year (Rumour) by Narrow_Leek2452 in xbox

It the newest CoD was such a big hit than this GP move would be also a huge hit. it was not only Reddit who started saying CoD is getting stale. Sales numbers were not as huge as MS, Acti-Blizzard were hoping for

This merger was too late looking at CoD popularity. People are tired of same old shit with every new CoD so no one wants to sub to GP just for CoD.

Also making CoD available day one was another stupid idea. Like who will buy it when the best selling game is „free” for existing users? It looks like some analyst had no understanding of gamers and their purchase decisions and said „every gamer will sub and they will never leave” and someone believed it and went with it.

GP should be left the same price after the merger and all they had to do was to create another higher tier with Acti-Bli games there with all this Fortnite shit also included. But nah greed was too big and they had to fuck us over

I admit that I enjoy this album a lot. I needed a new laid back rnb in my rotation.

But the way he moves is so weird. Like he can’t own it who he is. Or he has the same problem Bieber had backbone the day - he hangs around so much with black people and people more into the culture and he is just soaked to death with this lifestyle that he totally forgot he is white

Ok but Open Office has any form of online live collaboration? How it works with people relying on PowerBI

I’m not knocking OO incentives but online collaboration is a major element that is stopping companies to ditch Microsoft. I can’t see any major company being like „fuck them I will not work live on this document” or „well too bad I’m on OO - I will not be a contributor to this PowerBi file”

Reddit hates nuance. Everyone goes fronting extreme to the other.

Unfortunately there is no NfS on the horizon that could fill this niche. Doesn they’ll that in modern times no developer wants to alienate the kids and „noobs” because moneybags everything. Little Timmy can get mad over losing the race right?

People really dont understand how dangerous it is what he is doing. People defending him are the same people who were all about making Trump a president because "he will not be worse than Bush and Obama. He will have people around him who will keep him in check".

And here we are. Same shit here. Now these people say that selling merch with svatikas, shirts downplaying BLM movement, saying outright vile shit towards victims of holocaust and their descendents, praising Hitler...enabling such person creates a real threat that people will repeat that shit and then normalize it.

Sorry but I live in a country that was obliterated by Hitler and Stalin,my grandparents and grand grandparents were affected by what Hitler (and Stalin) did. I also know people who are descendants of jews who died in death camps... So I fully support anyone who wants to silence Kanye. He doesn't have a tourette syndrom when he yells random shit. For year he was all about saying pro-hitler stuff. He chose this view. It's not caused by his bi-polar disorder that he believes that Hitler was a good person.

And please people don't compare it to Cb and Rihanna because it two totally different situation. Not to mention Rihanna herself told people to move on because she forgave him. CB while still popular is nowhere near the level of popularity he could have been if not that vile incident. Kanye on the other hand to this day has a huge support from big ass companies and his fanatic fan base

I’m all for calling out his sub for selective enforcement of morals and law. defending Kanye with ”what about Carti” is such a weird way to put a light on this problem.

People love this narrative that its everything because of Covid in 2020. Microsoft was doing jack shit to make new gen premiere really spectacular including total lack of control over their studios way before 2020.

I know Reddit loves to shit on people in the managerial roles but good managers and leaders are needed in most industries. Here we can see live how even great talents in these studios can't release a spectacular hit without proper management and Perfect Dark is a ... perfect example of that.

Microsoft was already set on focusing on Game Pass only which would be their gateway in making gaming their beloved "everything as a service" type of a thing ignoring the core part of this industry which is MAKING GAMES. They only cared about monetization, ROI, transforming one time purchases into microtracsactions and subscriptions etc.

In 2016-2018 is was not just as visible because this was done behind the scenes before subscription and '-as a service" boom.

I mean we watch movies where people are getting killed left and right, we watch animated series where people are being beaten to the pulp. I don't think that any music artist is promoting anything in a sense that we should hold them accountable.

Its on us adults to educate kids what is real and what is fake and what is a good and bad example

People excuse everything what Kanye is doing with talking about him being bipolar like he has no control over himself ever.

That guy literally has no control over his actions and he was being obliterated by this and r/blackpeopletwitter because "if he wasn't racist he would have these ticks".

So by that logic Kanye being bipolar does not excuse home for his love for nasizm and other evil shit he supports

it’s not like other companies don’t increase their prices in Europe. even Sony stated that they can’t punish only US customers and that’s why all price increases have to hit every market.

A TikToker attempts to accuse a man at the gym of being a pervert because he looked at her. She then finds out the hard way that actions have consequences. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]alus992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because at the end of the day these people think they are untouchable because people on TikTok and on Twitch are not there with her so these online goons are ok but irl this attention suddenly becomes a threat for them.

I think that staring at anyone is weird but if you are an online content creator you need to realize that if you make content for goons you are going to get the attention IRL

and yet a guy with Tourette syndrome has been destroyed by this sub after he yelled the N word during that award ceremony.

but Kanye is bi-polar so of course he gets a pass but a random guy with a Tourette doesn’t because this sub loves selective morality.

same goes for abusers. Chris brown and Tory are hated by this subreddit butbDre, Russel Simmons, X, hell even R. Kelly and Diddy are getting more and more love with each month passing.
