any of the thousands of games that predate “the cloud” or games that don’t even have a save feature.
Well sure, but those games were all made with that specific context in mind. You don't simply start over BotW each time and have as good of an experience, because that's not how it was designed. You don't design 25+ hours worth of content for a campaign and expect it to be fine for players to lose their progress. This is a portalable gaming handheld we're talking about. You can drop it. You can lose it. Spills happen. SD cards get corrupted.
Besides, if you’re not paying for the service, you’re the product not the consumer.
It wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't a walled garden. Forcing payment for a basic feature plus not allowing any alternatives is classic anti-competitive behavior.
Lack of free cloud saves is a non-starter. Why spend hundreds of hours on a save that can be gone at a moment's notice?
Assuming they're not qualified is a form of implicit racial bias
I don't think this includes the engine
That's what most people said about Trump in 2016.
How is it an alternative?

More information just came out that forced his hand
Seems AI generated and very basic. Barely a game
Generalizations aren't productive
Only if it increased by a very large margin like a DDoS attack
For a good laugh and/or headache check out Google's history of "wallet" offerings listed on Wikipedia
This is the same guy who started a remote company then tried to pull a "return to office" move on his employees without much notice. I highly doubt they could build their own OS given their poor management record
The sell is a screenless phone with an AI assistant
I think you might be onto something. A research paper or thesis, when boiled down, is just a product. How the product is made is difficult to determine, and there's an inherent incentive to make it the best product by any and all means. But if it were instead a process that was facilitated and had to be done in-person, that can be controlled more tightly
That's exactly right. Even if we made an AI that could give us the perfect solution and had accurate projections to back up its assertions, inevitably we'd reject it because we wouldn't trust it fully. It cannot fix the often selfish nature of humans
There was a 2018 Netflix special as well
Choosing Michael Ian Black for this is... a choice. Seems like he's been losing fans left and right over the years with his aggressive political brigades on Twitter
Many Catholic priests are gay, and it's sort of incentivized. Their view is that being gay doesn't inherently mean you're a bad person or going to hell. However, acting on gay sexual urges is a sin. So becoming a priest and being celibate is a convenient out. Also there's a priest shortage, so turning a blind eye is likely common
JerryRigEverything said is his recent teardown review that Pixel repairability has gotten particularly worse on the 9. Sounded like the battery was very difficult to remove
