Que pinche hueva todo el hate a Messi, entiendo el hate a Argentina, pero la gente que no acostumbra ver futbol debería disfrutar lo poco que queda del mejor futbolista de la historia
Fueron 6 Mundiales. De 2006 a 2026.
21 goles, 3 finales y 1 título.
Acabamos de ver la última función de Messi en una Copa del Mundo.
Lionel, no llores porque terminó. Sonríe porque sucedió. Gracias por tanto, bestia del fútbol mundial🩵
Rest in peace. A true screen legend. 🕊️
Sam Neill brought warmth, wit, and quiet strength to every role he played. For generations, he’ll always be Dr. Alan Grant, the heart of Jurassic Park.
I have been trying to find something meaningful to say about the Id Software layoffs.
My “Microsoft will probably be a good steward of the brand” statement isn’t aging well, and this is certainly going to dampen the mood of the founder reunion at QuakeCon next month.
I’m saddened, but I can’t muster anger or outrage over it. I don’t have access to the books, but I suspect that Id Software was a marginal business from Microsoft’s perspective. I believe the reports that Minecraft revenues have been carrying several other studios.
To continue being produced long term, games need to succeed, not just be beloved.
Games are competing with every other option for spending your leisure time and money, and the competition is brutal.
You can’t rule out the possibility that executives are idiots, but that shouldn’t be your default belief. I don’t think there is any obvious path that would have doubled the revenue from Id games.
Could they have gotten more with a different pricing strategy?
Could they have created more things for fans to buy?
Could they have cost effectively marketed in a way that reached more players that would have loved and bought the games?
Could they have changed the game designs and broadened the appeal to more players without alienating existing ones?
Could they have produced the games at a lower cost, faster or cheaper?
I really don’t know.
The game isn’t over yet, and I hope the studio rallies through.
