right, this is what i was trying to get my head around. feels different to, eg, MS buying CoD, where the dynamics of the entire industry get warped around one specific multiplayer shooter being cross-subsidised by subscription sales. This is more… well, bad if you like battlefield.
@swiftonsecurity.com what did you do
www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/b... am i being too sanguine to think that this sucks for EA's studios but is mostly ignorable for games as a whole?
sure, you can tax it in lots of ways, but it's not a tariff. It's not charged at import based on the value of the quantity imported
I think I use it to refer to games which are deliberately mechanically light to allow for more conversation. I remember the first time my gaming group did sea of thieves and we were all baffled that there was so little… game? But it makes sense
the real issue is the fact that substack encourages writers to use linked footnotes that don't work in email, the format for which substack is created

The other thing that got me is that, despite focusing on the restorative, communicative, process… at no point is there any discussion of the murderer’s motive
Boris Johnson commits to never voting again.
"being able to provide proof of ID over the internet" is massively more valuable now than it was 20 years ago, a clear need that you really don't want to have to punt to the private sector, and the entire pitch from the government is about migration
find it baffling that the entire conversation on digital ID cards, from both sides, is just ignoring the internet
