ha yes! that is depressingly likely to be 100% correct.

so sega realised that rather than sell a retro console once, they can sell a reboot filled with DLC and monthly subscriptions forever. nice.

I hope they don’t embark on a purge of all the original versions across the web, as is the trend at the moment from likes of Blizzard, and shackle old titles with new restrictions.

I love the irony in how ecosia brands itself an environmentally responsible organisation while hosting a chat bot on it’s search page, burning 10x the energy of regular search. Their chat bot even gaslights me when I ask about this by telling me how the energy consumption for “AI” technologies is actually highly variable, and I should check my own carbon footprint first xD. At this point, both organisations are so utterly self deluded, they should get on like a house on fire. Literally!
