If you're doing PR or sending keys or whatever, essentially cold calling YouTube/Twitch channels with a game, I assure you that you do not need to have AI gin up some fake list of things that you "saw and enjoyed" on the channel to make that message have impact. That stuff just makes you look fake.

is it good that every single games studio i still own is having all its staff leak comments like "we cant possibly make games under these conditions" in ten thousand articles

What a way to build trust with your employees and fans. Xbox has become where little sparks of creativity and passion go to fizzle and die instead. Xbox is just going to keep pivoting from idea to idea, never committing to or dreaming of anything, slowly driving out thousands of talented people.

just a few months ago, Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty was pointing to Double Fine and Compulsion Games as examples of studios it's committed to, "where little sparks can grow into something big."

Sure is clearer than ever that Asha’s first 100 days campaign being centered around putting “fans first,” invoking nostalgia, and building loyalty towards Xbox as a brand was deliberate and deceitful, huh? What a move, pandering and aligning themselves to the most fanatical/vocal before pulling this

Frankly, this should apply to all goods, including airplane tickets, and be national. In lieu of that, demand this change from your states. Dynamic pricing is predatory and should be banned.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores. The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
