Xbox fans: “Best CEO ever”
mistweaver is so upsetting i have -40 ilvl than my priest on it and do double the damage and more healing with one button, an 18 year old blind dog could play this spec
82-0 might be fun for some of you, but for True & Ethical appreciators of defense, glue guys, vibes, grinders, and “he just does the little things” guys, this game is actually a minor form of torture
Cuando VALVe estaba al borde de la quiebra y Gabe Newell fue a pedir ayuda para lanzar Steam, el 99% de la industria le dijo que no, que perdía el tiempo. No fueron una o dos empresas. Fueron todas. Lo cuenta el propio GabeN en el documental del 20º aniversario de Half-Life 2.
Ahora esa misma industria llora porque quieren parte del pastel que su propia incompetencia y arrogancia les impidió ver.
Excepto VALVe, nadie pensó a largo plazo. Nadie se jugó la empresa y el patrimonio personal contra una industria sin visión. Nadie apostó por tratar a sus clientes como personas.
Por eso CEOs como @TimSweeneyEpic y compañía se la pasan despidiendo gente en masa mientras buscan nuevas formas de exprimir y abusar de los jugadores, en vez de construir una comunidad de verdad.
Steam no es un monopolio. Es la recompensa por hacer las cosas bien cuando nadie más tuvo cojones.
The Sacramento Kings organization is deeply saddened by the passing of Rick Adelman, a beloved coach whose leadership, character, and vision helped define an era of Kings basketball that inspired our city and captivated fans around the world.
During his eight seasons in Sacramento, he led the team to unprecedented success and helped create some of the most memorable moments in franchise history. For an entire generation of Kings fans, Coach Adelman represented the very best of Sacramento basketball, and he will be remembered for the way he inspired those around him – with humility, integrity, kindness, and an unwavering belief in the power of teamwork. His leadership helped establish a culture that continues to resonate throughout our organization today.
Our thoughts are with Mary Kay, his family, friends, former players, and all who loved him.
Reminder that they announced this shit back in 2020, and 6 years later it’s still being delayed lmao..
The state of modern games man.. I don’t even care at this point.
2 years ago the WNBA had its first bona fide box office star in Caitlin Clark.
Her team, the Indiana Fever, had to move its games into massive venues, and charge hundreds of dollars for tickets in response to demand to see her play.
Even today, out of jersey sales for ALL basketball players, hers are second only to NBA star Steph Curry...meaning she sells even more jerseys than guys like Lebron James.
But with the hype came extra scrutiny on a league that was clearly unprepared for the big time, and more interested in identity politics than in growth.
Before, the story was about a generational talent.
Now it's becoming about a generational fumble.
I've never seen anything like it.
