    Pretty much. The % jump in the Gold pricing is such that it is intended to activate consumer action to shift folks to GPU. Were the goal simply to maintain Gold subs the price would inch up, not jump (the NFLX model, Weber's Law, etc etc). Assumes (correctly imo) low/no churn.

    That Resident Evil graphical showcase sure is pretty. RE has been on quite an amazing run in the US in recent years. The latest sure is delivering the hype factor with today's showcase.

    1) Good. Data caps are one of gaming's biggest threats as games get bigger, digital expands and cloud gaming grows. 2) Bad. Data caps may start on May 18, 2023. Grrrrrrrrrr "As Ajit Pai exits FCC, Charter admits defeat on petition to impose data caps"

    To figure out which edition of Assassin's Creed to buy one needs a table. To figure out how to get all the content for Hitman 3 one needs to first solve for cold fusion, plan a mission to Mars and then recreate KFC's secret herbs and spices recipe. Then.... maybe.

    "...the company is building a high-end, niche product that will prepare outside developers and consumers for its eventual, more mainstream AR glasses." A good sign they know VR will remain niche, the AR side has far greater potential. via

    Anyone who’s worked on live or online games could’ve told you to solve for churn before you did anything, Hollywood. If you’re just discovering churn, I’m... flummoxed as to what to say really.
