..... Project Platinum?
Are they really doing it?
Edit: oh shit they're making a thin client
Elder Scrolls 6 in 2025? Fat chance
So they believe they can buy Nintendo, but thought buying tiktok was impossible.

what's the point when there's nothing to play on it?
Should be noted that this was prior to the Zenimax acquisition. The dates of the games have already changed and projects may have been cancelled.
Nintendo would be basically impossible to acquire.
Trying to influence Nintendo is probably equally as futile. If ever there was a company absolutely determined to do things it's own way, it's Nintendo.
A digital only console becoming mainstream is the death of video games that PC gaming began. That's the last fucking thing we need is more loss of ownership on products. Microsoft can fuck themselves, this leak should blow a sizeable hole in their operationsI've had enough bad luck with physical media, that this kind of thing doesn't phase me. It's a nice feeling to have a physical collection of games. It's nice to look at on a shelf, it's cool. But eventually your console will fail in some way, even if you treat it like gold. Either it will die completely, or in my case, two of them just stopped being able to read discs for no reason. I can still use the consoles, but the physical games I have are useless pieces of polycarbonate plastic unless I replace the entire console or at least the disc drive.

All the digital games I have? Oh no, I don't actually "have" them. I don't technically own them, whatever that really means. But I can still play them.
Look upon my physical games collection, ye mighty, and despair.
I have a PS2 & GameCube that are old enough to be my children now that both still read & write to discs & function.Same here. I also have a Wii and PS4 that can't read discs. And I have a PC that (digitally) plays games from any generation. I don't care about "owning". I don't care about owning things. I care about the experiences I get from playing video games. I care about the memories and feelings, those are the things that I really own. Those are the things that are really mine. The cheap piece of plastic that the code is written on, has always been devoid of any real worth.

Like 99.2% if the number is right, of Americans have access to at least one high speed provider. But the problem is that *at least having access* doesn't mean it's reliable or at all affordable. Source said that less than 2 million have no access which is the lowest it's ever been here & good, but there's no competition, & we don't know how many of these rural areas can afford or get that one high speed provider. Digital only consoles mean you're always going to be having to download the information for titles online, & you can't just pop in a disc & play.

The fact that buying Nintendo and Valve is legitimately discussed here is so gross. And MS fanboys were saying there's no monopoly attempts...Gaben will never sell Valve and the Japanese ministry of finance will never agree to a majority sale of Nintendo to a foreign company. These are not valid concerns.
