They do have other products to prop them up, so I'm hopeful

I think the ability to have an always-on display somewhat negated the need for a notification LED. It did for me, at least.

They actually are putting data centers underwater now. Turns out having them sealed and pumped full of nitrogen lengthens the service life of the equipment considerably.

Sure it could have. They just needed to bolt a payment processor onto the whole mess and they'd have been printing money.

If the Democrats were willing to negotiate at all, this would be an excellent starting point. Sadly, they're going to stomp their feet and hold their breath until the whole thing gets scrapped and we're back where we started. Part of me wonders if that isn't the point.

Gamers are the biggest reason for the decline of the games industry. Entitled half-aware idiots demanding features that give them bigger and bigger hits of dopamine have driven the entire industry into the ground. The celebration of toxicity in the community hasn't helped a damn thing, either.

It was, yeah. A lot of the infrastructure was still standing from when it was Oculus so it felt super detached from everything else.

As for the 80B, I can confidently say that a solid chunk of that went to software licenses, believe it or not. They were spending millions a year on their on-prem GitHub Enterprise server alone, which was technically redundant because the rest of Meta had an in-house Mercurial megarepo that, surprisingly, worked really well. They may have moved off of that by now, though, since I was last employed there in 2024.

Does Armored Core count as a souls game? The newest one kinda felt souls-ish, but the combat feels so different to me that I have trouble including it in the genre.

If it does count, then that's literally the only one I've ever been able to tolerate.

I'm not sure what you mean. It already had complete dominance of the smartphone market, which was, at the time, still growing.
