Without diving tooo much into it, I'm pretty sure the main reason is he doesn't want government regulation around the games industry.

The most generous summary of his better points would be that it is not always feasible to leave a game in a playable state since server architecture might not allow for that. Semi fair since the games industry has gotten to a point where some of these games may be using code contracted from a third party making releasing the binaries difficult from a licensing perspective.

However he seems to have taken playable as 'designed for single player'. Using the hypothetical of MMOs needing to be rebalanced around a single player experience. He extended this to a game Meet Your Maker which is reliant on other real players for the experience and saying there is no way to leave that 'playable.

As a note, Stop Killing Games is NOT asking for any rebalancing to be done and this is an entirely fabricated complaint.

Yeah, the tone I am seeing in conservative spaces about this has shifting to the gunman being a CIA operative to smeer conservatives.

I envy the willpower to tune him out.

Giving away 200 billion dollars means having 200 billion dollars. Bill Gates might be one of the 'better billionaires, but just the act of hoarding that much capital is harmful, let alone the method used to obtain it.

I have family who truly believe Trump to be a genius. But everytime, and I do mean everytime I hear him speak he comes off as a senile idiot.

I wish I understood what spell he has people under.

The fact it is a significant fraction of his defensive fund is the depressing thing. But thanks for trying!

The unfortunate thing for me is I don't see how we get reasonable competition in the computing space at this point. The economies of scale that is required to get a reasonably priced chip to market is enormous.

Unsurprising, Nvidia really only cares for the higher end market for gaming.

Hopefully AMD and Intel can find success making reasonable cards for the masses.

Only thing missing here is that I have the weather on there normally.

Most of my picks have been mentioned already, but I had a blast with Mullet Madjack. A tongue in cheek riff on 80s anime in a boomer shooter where you have 10 seconds to live, but each enemy kill gives you 2 more seconds of life.

This was the top comment for me, and I thought it wasn't going to be too bad.

Wow there are some hot takes down there.
