Also this probably will have an unintended consequence of letting the popular gender choice(s) earn more, as there is less supply and more demand than if the whole driver pool was available.
Ubisoft could potentially launch somewhere between the middle of September to the middle of October after being denied certification by PlayStation and Xbox....
There is a lot of discussion happening in the background of our project here. We could not anticipate all of the challenges that we were going to face a few years ago. One of the reasons for this was because we had no idea what our choice of a platform would bring....
Honestly, I wholeheartedly support this move. For a couple of (obviously subjective) reasons:
Lemmy/kbin isn't ready. If Beehaw staff were able to fork their own version of the base code with their moderation etc. design preferences in mind, this would be another thing -- though even then it might not be enough to be worth it with the headache of fediverse moderation.
Closed system/community is more personal, hence more productive and less noisy. At least before it outgrows itself.
What I'd hope but is also more work and potentially creates conflicts, is that the new platform provides good moderation logging etc. Which I think is key feature to ensure trust and self policing.
That game seems pretty loved, I wouldn't be that surprised about a remaster. Though it would have to be a pretty barebones if it can't compete with a ten year old release.
like, it’s caffeine and water and brown, who cares. i drink diet soda so it’s no calories, no sugar. versus the stereotype starbucks order, why is soda so demonized...
Maybe a bit of context would be in order because I don't know anyone who would even blink if you started your day at work with soda.
Though I think if you started your average morning with drinking a soda first thing would be a bit weird. But it's the same kind of weird that having hamburger meal or a full roast as breakfast is. It's just not customary.

It's insulting and counter productive to say this thing is about dumb people following their emotions when education, money and opportunities play such a big part.
The president has taken shots at Trump over a number of issues in recent months, but he has stayed largely silent on the four separate indictments against his predecessor.
While I don't think it's as straight forward calculation as Norgur thinks, you're forgetting that star power has marketing reach beyond just name recognition on a poster. People want to hear from them. They give interviews, promote at events and give status to the movie: It will be featured more in media which in itself means that more people will hear about it (even if they don't choose the movie based on that name) which means they're more likely to consider seeing it at a later date as they recognize it.
If I'm sure about one thing, it's that people are disgusting. I'd much rather avoid touching the door after using the toilet when my hands are clean. And even in the case that the door is disgusting, you can wash your hands both before and after.
That's the story of almost all EA studios. Respawn afaik has kept their senior staff but also have expanded too much for me to believe there's a "Respawn identity" anymore.
What's funny that happened with Bioware and Criterion, too.

I thought Ken Jennings was a cool dude. This doesn't feel like a cool dude move.
Scabbing or not, it's semantics, but supporting the strike seems right to me. Though like you mentioned there's the rest of the crew to think about. Maybe they need this check.
