Kotaku: For Westerners, the conditions are shocking. Workers slave away for hours on end, pulling overtime, until their legs swell or they suffer from crippling disabilities.
The Xbox brand has done a lot of good over the years, but their various blunders are pretty wild to look back on in their magnitude.
Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)
Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke
Really good video.
I remember the days with RRoD was big news on here, N4G.
Microsoft had it turbulence number of years.
Looking at the success of Sea of Thieves despite being 6 years old, time to release Halo, Forza horizon 4 & 5 on PS5. It'll help their revenue
I found this video painful to watch. Can someone list them out?
Top 10 for me from are:
1. 2013 reveal presentation
2. Bundling Kinect 2 with Xbox One
3. RRoD or why rushing to market with hardware is always a bad idea.
4. Buying studios only to close them.
5. Ads on the Home Screen
6. Letting Halo die.
7. Letting Geard of War die.
8. Every console name
9. Charging for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 when Sony let PS3 players play online for free.
10. Cancelling release of OG Xbox games after the Xbox 360 launched.
"AI is not a substitute for human creativity. We position it as a technology that supports creativity. Creativity resides in people. We will continue to contribute to people's creativity through technology," the CEO said.
...not yet but 100% within the next 10 years!
..Then Sony will use it like the drop of a hat. They're no different to the others.
People that aren't software developers just don't understand the benefits of AI. People who's only exposure to A.I is the Terminator movie and other related sci fi films won't understand the benefits it provides.
It's not about replacing human labor. It's about making human labor easier.
Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.
15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal
I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.
Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."
You can't make this crap up lol
If the PS3 was made in america at launch it would have cost more than $600. Blame consumers not Sony, M$, of Apple.
Honestly, I would be happy enough paying a lot more for hardware. Think about how useful it is to you and how great it really is that we, as a species, are able to achieve so much - so we should at least appreciate the people working on the production lines. But the truth is, IT equipment production lines are some of the best jobs available in many areas. If these industries weren't going so strong (partially because of how cheap it is here), there would be a lot more struggling families in those areas.
Everyone is to blame. There are ways that we could shift away from a consumption-based society. No one is willing to do anything to change it.
What bothers me the most is when people complain and say that we should be "buying American", yet they ignore or are ignorant of the fact that the Chinese are slaving away at 35 cents an hour (confirmed, by the way, not an exaggeration) to make their favorite product. "Give those jobs to Americans" is the height of naivety because a business isn't going to pay $15+ per hour when they could pay 35 cents on that hour for someone to do the same job. Unemployment in America is high partly because Americans are entitled and refused to get enough education to become better workers than Chinese workers. The same people that scream for more "American" jobs, support companies that take jobs overseas, like the first poster. They are missing the central irony of their position. If people are concerned in anyway about human rights violations in China, they need to be prepared to bite the bullet and accept the fact that American companies are a cog in the wheels of that situation. Of course, many Chinese would be starving if not for those jobs, and it is the restrictions of the Chinese government that are the most to blame for the human rights problems.
I know nintendo cares.
All some care about is cheap, the 360 proved that. Not just because it was cheaper, but even without hdmi and even with rrod, people prefered to buy a cheap and faulty device over an expensive and reliable one.
Mind you, its not like you were paying two different prices for exactly the same machine. The differences in price reflected in features. HDMI, Built in Wireless, Blu Ray, Linux, Memory Card Slots, Bluetooth, a history and long list of franchises and a few other features.
