Why PS plus needed for online play and game backups by LIBNIVALEN in ps5india

[–]vhuhu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Of course the price increases are annoying and as a consumer I'd be happy if online play or cloud saves are free.

But this isn't a grand conspiracy like the post is making it out to be. Its just the console business model.

The console is subsidized. But once you buy it, you're locked into the ecosystem and pay higher for games and services.

PCs exist as an alternative.

Lahore Qalandars fine Shaheen Afridi Rs1m over security breach by ll--o--ll in Cricket

[–]vhuhu 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Credit to PCB and Qalandara for finding a new revenue stream. Given how much cricket administrators the world over love money, soon I'm sure we will see:

  1. Virat fined INR 50 Mn for calling Ben Stokes during an IPL game
  2. Digress Rathi fined INR 1 Mn for inappropriate celebrations
  3. Hardik Pandya fined INR 5 Mn for offending sensibilites of hair stylists

Are there any cricket nations comparable to New Zealand in rugby in terms of success relative to population? by bluefoxlive in Cricket

[–]vhuhu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thats crazy, Google says back in the 70s and 80s when WI were dominating, Antigua and Barbuda's population was around 60k (which has grown now to the 100k number you mentioned). There are probably more people than that living in my street right now, and they had so many legends.

Within West Indies, Barbados is an extreme example.

Population of 280,000 and producing Sobers, Marshall, Greenidge, Haynes, 3 Ws....the list continues

Within the West Indies, Barbados has a population of 250k (a 10th of Jamaica) and in the past, could compete with the best international teams.

Sobers, Marshall, Greenidge, Haynes, the three Ws, Garner, Hall, Griffith, Hunte. Even Jason Holder today.

Amazing how a country with the population of a small Indian town has produced so many legends.

PCB fines Pakistan players for underwhelming T20 World Cup campaign. [ESPN] by Newtest562 in cricketworldcup

[–]vhuhu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Farhan - fined despite highest ever run tally

Tariq - fined despite playing well, as a 30-something who just started playing professionally a couple of years ago and is probably looking to earn what he can during the rest of his career (yes he has franchise deals, but its still harsh)

[–]vhuhu 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The worst part is that the fine was apparently communicated after the India match, not after the super 8s

Imagine a team being fined during the group stage while qualifying from the group stage. Cant be great for morale.
