>They didn't sell to EA to grow, but because BioWare was failing.

to be clear, they never sold to EA directly

Got into a PE ownership agreement with Pandemic Studios in 05 because they couldn't afford SW:TOR on their own, the co founder of the PE firm backing them went to EA, then EA purchased the holding corp.

They raised like $300 M between the studios because they couldn't afford the dev costs for SW:TOR (Somewhere around $200 M over 6 years per Gamespot) - and like everything PE touches, all they care about is money so they were more than happy to flip the holding corp to EA for a really nice ROI.

>In terms of pure gameplay and mechanics, the first Mass Effect is incredibly rough, it's really hard to go back to.

Anyone who says this isn't the case needs to go back and play it. It's TOUGH gameplay wise.

>they went to a small ratings agency

that's a bigger red flag. there may be reasons (bad) to not give them all the info, but going to a smaller agency is the largest of red flags when you are that big of a company.

>“This is not your publishing platform,” she warned. “This is a company that we all work for, and there’s a hierarchy in place. And at the end of the day, you have to answer to that hierarchy. If you can’t answer to that hierarchy, and you don’t listen to what we say, that is called insubordination, and it’s legal grounds for firing.”

that's a bad quote by a person who is bad at her job and who is a bad leader. the industry doesn't matter. the topic doesn't matter. the specific person doesn't matter. the company doesn't matter.

bad leadership.

well, shit.

i can understand lightroom settings being paid, not the $100 pack that folks are selling, but at least there are a ton of pieces to that. just IG-style filters though are ridiculous.

>automated by SI

calling it SI is the version is equal to the 3 meme from Inglorious Basterds[0]

speedrunning brain drain, you spend decades building a moat based on stability and proceed to end decades of work in 24 months.

>Folks get mad at Musk, Zuckerberg, etc... if they're doing something illegal, ok yea that makes sense. If folks are mad about actions that are legal, it makes zero sense to be mad at the actor. Be mad at the people/entities who created the legal loopholes and laws.

...why not both?

anyone who ever says no to this hasn't ever posted on reddit.

seems like par for that course

just to be clear this is a year old+ account with 1 submission - this one - and 2 comments ever - both in this thread.

Pretty clearly, it shouldn't drive anyone's car.

highly doubt Jason or 404 is out here just telling AI to write a story.

>I do take significant issue with standard installation practices

I just don't understand why there is no middle option. Either on the ground for a 6 year old or set up for a 2m+ man.

CEOs who act the way he does are horrible CEOs 100% of the time - doesn't matter if the company has 10, 100 or 100,000 employees.

>Does he over promise and exaggerate? Undoubtedly.

>But he does also deliver.

Shotwell deserves 99.99% of the SpaceX credit over Musk. anyone who says differently needs to take off their Musk-coloured glasses

also there are very good reasons no one else has released cars on public roads with no mirrors, steering wheels or pedals.

its the same individuals in my experience. i don't see people who used to be good employees suddenly sending a 3000 word email, but i sure do see that out of the people who were bad coworkers 12 months ago and still are today.

>“When people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they’re prioritizing the wrong thing, and what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise,” Langley said during a recent interview with Fox News. “How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?”

question for you but what weather app / tool are you using in your personal life, as someone who works in that general industry.

Ads Platform? still in the green with no incidents.

>It’s kinda ironic that with all that AI, they choose not to use any of that intelligence to target ads better.

I couldn't possibly be more par for course for OpenAI

i mean it started nearly 2 years ago...

no kidding.

>The Federal Bureau of Investigation, along with agents from the Internal Revenue Service and United States Postal Inspection Service, raided Thao's home on June 20, 2024 as part of a corruption investigation

that's a nightmare group of people to be after you.

totally agree that its "fine" - but no one who is serious is doing their data work / anything else in Numbers.

>gist of the article is that don’t use spreadsheets for things that are too complicated.

the OP appears to have never, ever, met a problem where his solution wasn't "make it way more complicated than it needs to be" - go look at the first page of his blog for proof.

>You can do horrifying and amazing things with Excel.

I've never seen a better explanation of the tool than that one sentence

how you know they aren't serious people? Numbers is referenced almost as many times as Excel in the blog post.

First sentence of the post?

>My fundamental rule is Don’t, but a single word wouldn’t make for much of a blog post.

>with, I assume, more guardrails

with Grok, that's a tremendous assumption
