re: Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation

And that people just dislike other stores, be it the EA App or Blizzard Launcher or Epic Games Store, so when Epic was buying out exclusivity for games early on forcing people to use it, so many people still rejected that idea that within a few years it basically dried up completely and developers/publishers stopped making exclusive or timed deals with Epic.
People just want Steam on PC, everything else is just kinda there.
There has not been physical media on PC in a decade and Steam has a total monopoly on the entire PC gaming market, but they still run a TON of sales every year and are famous for it. Hell we used to have a thread for every steam sale on here. :lol:

That checks out, both of my friends that game some, pre-ordered immediately after the trailer.

First top 5 seed about to go down or reverse sweep?
Cobolli has looked awful dropping the first two sets 3-6 2-6 and just came alive in the third 6-3.
Cobolli breaks to open the 4th this smells like reverse sweep now.

Did Volynets get hurt or something in her match vs Noskova? She broke to go up 5-2 first set and hasn't won a game since, 5-7 0-5. Like, what? :lol:

That was an insane match. Rublev wins the 5th set tiebreak for the reverse sweep.

Lucky loser Virtanen is destroying Rublev 2-0 sets and won the second set tiebreak 7-0. :lol:

And here is the lawsuit earlier this year in the UK against Valve for allegedly using this Steam monopoly to create unfair prices.

I'll move to PC because there is actual competition on PC, such as the XBOX PC store, steam, Epic, etc. Plus, PC Game Pass is cheaper than Ultimate.
Steam has a massive monopoly on PC, there is almost zero competition. It is all anyone uses so much so all the other stores have had to bite the bullet over the last year or two and bring all their games to Steam largely because people just straight up won't play or buy your game if it isn't on Steam.
Just last year they did a massive developer survey and 72% said Steam is a monopoly, and 88% of studios said at least 75% of their total game revenue is from Steam.

Looked incredible tbh, I had high expectations but even that video exceeded them. The swamp boat clip was gorgeous as is the whole world and environment. Looks like they nailed everything that makes GTA GTA.
Lucia seems much better than Brian as a character, she's a badass.

And you think that action would hold up in court as not damaging the plaintiffs?
It's going to be all or nothing. The players will be cleared to play with no repercussions on the schools or they won't be cleared.
There is nothing a court can do to force schools to accept players transfers or play them in games. If all of the SEC Presidents, coaches and AD's agree which they have, that they aren't accepting them, it's over.
All a court can do is say they are eligible, they cannot make LSU or Arkansas or Georgia accept the transfer/player. They will head to the ACC or BIG12 etc. The SEC and B1G are saying no and turning these players down.

Of course it does, the courts cannot make schools take you or play you. If the SEC coaches/presidents/ads say we are not taking you, they don't have to. Period.

Interesting, the tmz article said she spoke to people magazine just this last Friday and she said she was working on new material while healing. Definitely didn't sound like someone close to dying.

They are ineligible again just like Bediako for Bama, only his temporary injunction was during the season so he got to play a few games on it whereas Luis Jr's will be over before the season ever starts so he'll never actually play.

Good move, Apple is having all kinds of issues for the new Ultra foldable in China right now. It's a disaster.

Yeah there's a few that have Dante Moore #1 and Arch #2 overall but that's like 5 out of 100.
