roblox is literally one of the most popular multiplayer games currently on the market and probably has like 95% brand recognition among people under 13 so yes, a lot of people play roblox.
the sheer size of the deal means it's subject to a lot of regulatory scrutiny, as summarized on wikipedia. microsoft plans to appeal this but given that neither the EU nor FTC seem interested in letting it happen either, we seem to be headed toward a scenario where litigation kills the deal entirely
The country can impose fines or block products from being sold in their domain if a company goes against these kinds of rulings. Same with other countries and the EU, that's why companies ask for permission.
After Brexit they must lost a lot of leverage however. Makes me wonder when the first company will consider the potential loss of UK sales as less than the benefit of whatever deal they're making.
@QuentinCallaghan honestly pretty vile vibes from this one; bodycam murder simulator is at the very least politically tonedeaf and at worst actively malicious.
it's really annoying. for people gaming on Linux systems there's this genius project called ProtonGE, a customized version of Valve's Proton that lets you played Windows games with some additional enhancements over Valve's version. there's a Github page that hosts the code and releases, but the readme file says that if you have any issues, you have to contact the developer on Discord. like... why? the issue tracker is literally right there, viewable for everyone without having to create an account. how's a glorified instant messenger better at tracking issues than the interface that's been specifically made for that purpose?!
I asked ChatGPT to complete "I used to be an adventurer like you, then" a few times. Some actual answers:
I used to be an adventurer like you, then I realized that the real adventure was the friends we made along the way.
I used to be an adventurer like you, then I decided to retire and settle down. It's amazing how peaceful life can be without constantly facing danger and uncertainty.
I used to be an adventurer like you, then I discovered that true fulfillment comes not from seeking out external thrills, but from cultivating inner peace and contentment. Now I find joy in the simple things, like spending time with loved ones and pursuing meaningful hobbies.
Sounds like it would be an interesting experience...
I'm simply overwhelmed by all the servers and channels on Discord.
I like 18xx board games. I know of seven Discord servers that deal with them, but each has a dozen or two channels for topics I don't care about. If I want to find something, I have to do separate searches in each server. Plus I have to scroll through and mute all the extra channels in each server, which takes way too much effort on mobile.
