How come the Halo installations are so devastating in their percentage of power and destruction?

"Technically, this installation's counting pulse has a maximum effective radius of 25,000 votes. But once the others follow suit, this country will be quite devoid of outstanding ballots. Or at least, any ballots with sufficient votemass to sustain the administration. But you already knew that... I mean, how couldn't you?"

This site (and most gamers in general) is never going to care about Xbox, but if anything could chip away it's that 7 billion dollar purchase. If people think Microsoft spent that kind of caysh to not have games exclusive on their system, they're out of their minds.


Theyre gonna do whichever makes them the most money

If theyre already ahead? Timed exclusive

If they need to move systems? Forever exclusive

Not sure. They're definitely worrying. In the best case scenario it's petty revenge. A medium case scenario (which I kinda suspect based on several of these ratfuckers involved in Trump's counternarrative to the Russia investigation) is that he's installing people to selectively release classified stuff or something. And then of course in a worst case scenario he could really be planning not to leave and installing people who won't resist him (I don't think this is super likely, but with Trump you can't rule it out).

Well in that one press conference, the guy (forgot his name) said games should be played by as many people as possible and he won't push exclusives. And I'm sitting there like dude, don't BS me. No one spends 7 billion dollars to share with competition.


Its not sharing when theyre paying you to have them

They dont keep Minecraft an exclusive and they spent a large sum on that.

I think somewhere in the medium-worse (medium-rare?) zone is something like "Trump wants to jam people in there last-minute to cover-up/destroy evidence of wrongdoing that a not-Barr DoJ might be interested in."

They just keep finding more ballots in and around Atlanta. Biden's lead in Georgia is about to overtake his lead in Arizona. Sorry to the guy who bet on Georgia being the closest state.....looks like Arizona is going to take it.

They're banking on Game Pass driving sales for this stuff imo

Why would they care about exclusives when they have the real exclusive of access to Gamer Netflix? You gonna shell out full price for it on PS5 when you could just rent it on release for just a simple recurring payment of $15 a month you can cancel at any time?

Minecraft also has some kind of premium sub model going on.

Oh and Biden is over 14k in Georgia.

Georgia is now cooler than Arizona and closing in on Wisconsin (I don't think there are enough ballots left for them to hit 20k though, sadly).

Did GA end up getting a lot of late arriving mail ballots or something? I didn't think a 14k lead was possible based on the earlier numbers.

The earlier numbers did not have provisionals in them is my understanding. They had until...Friday (?) to cure them (which is allowed in Georgia) so they hadn't included them in the original numbers. I'm guessing they're almost out of those now though if I had to guess.

I wouldn't be too worried about the firings. Trump probably feels they failed to do their job, which in his eyes was to get him to win re-election. There isn't the backing of the intel or military community to succeed in a coup.

Not sure what's going on. The total amount of ballots just keeps rising. But Arizona is now closer.

That was my thought. Hopefully, if such a thing were to occur we'd have some valiant whistleblowers who would make this public.

Unless Nintendo and Sony are putting Gamepass on their console (which they won't), it will be PC/Xbox.

my legitimate prediction is Elder Scrolls VI and maybe Fallout ends up on PlayStation, (maybe after a period of Xbox exclusivity), but they save Starfield and the other stuff for Xbox only. ES is just so big that I would think their Minecraft logic would apply to it too.

I have no stake in it either way. By the time any of this stuff comes out ill just have both consoles.

Which was true.

Luckily Biden ended up outperforming by even more.

Apparently Alaskas ranked choice ballot measure might pass, though:

Im not a fan of the top-two primary in CA (since it can in principle lead to one side being fucked over and excluded due to having more candidates run than the other side); not sure how much of a concern that would be with top-four.
