I noticed that the track “Canon (Primo)” by Justice only has 5,815 plays on Spotify, even though every other track on the album has millions of plays. How is this possible? I know it’s just an interlude track that you wouldn’t listen to unless you’re listening to the full album, but still, this play count seems...
It seems that Spotify doesn’t accurately count plays for tracks under 30 seconds. I had a look through some of the albums I know of with short tracks and here’s what I found:
Humanz - Gorillaz / Most popular track: 214m plays vs 11 second interlude: 1,185 plays
Absolution - Muse / Most popular track: 259m plays vs 22 second intro: 32,174 plays
California - Blink 182 / Most popular track: 158m plays vs 16 second track: 42,616 plays
In fact I found the MGMT album 11•11•11 has a 26 second long track with no reported plays.
So while it’s probably true that people are listening to fewer full albums than they used to in the days of vinyl or CD, it seems more likely to do with Spotify only paying royalties on tracks over 30 seconds and the discussion surrounding that.
I’m glad this is being brought up. As the article mentions, one of the affected games was the Ghost Trick remaster which received a 5.6GB update with no explanation. It was only through data mining that people realised Denuvo was removed in favour of Enigma.
The worst part for me is that Enigma lives up to its name and people have been left guessing about where it’s coming from. Some people think it’s Capcom’s in-house DRM while others are linking it to some Russian company with the same name that Capcom may have partnered with.
As I understand, this DRM has already been cracked so it’s not even stopping people who want to pirate the game. On the other hand, I love Ghost Trick and I wanted to buy gift copies for some friends over Christmas but this move really put me off.
You’re right about the sequel being announced but do you have a link to the trailer? The only videos and articles I can find still seem to be speculative.
I think we’re looking at the same video then, the one with less than 10,000 views after 24 hours. Yeah that video isn’t a real trailer, it’s just using recycled clips from the first film and guessing what might happen in the second one

Pretty sure it’s a joke based on the way the headline was written which makes it ambiguous whether the 12 year old was in the forklift or whether the police chasing him were in the forklift.

I don’t mean to be rude since this seems like a good script and it’s really cool that you were able to get ChatGPT to help. I just find the idea of people writing code they don’t understand using an LLM, publishing it, and then expecting someone else to check that it’s safe a little bit troubling. Credit to you, you’ve been transparent about that being the case but it got me thinking about other developers who might not be so upfront.
Linking this here just because I only discovered that Nathan For You episode yesterday and would hate for anyone to miss out on the reference: Youtube / Piped.
