They've continually devalued Sunday ticket as a product. I'm surprised Google isn't more pissed about it, as they paid a fuck load for the rights to be the exclusive seller.

Gamepass never made sense to me as a product. Games make most their sales money in the first few months, but MS gave them away as day 1 additions. Games are heavily monetized with dlc, but a rotating catalog makes buying any less desirable since you could lose access unless you bought the game as well. The subscription seemed to push sales at you, but that's a turn off for consumers. The used game market was still a thing, a 6 month subscription is less value than spending the same on a handful of games to keep permanently.

I'm not sure how it could succeed unless they stopped selling games at all for Xbox, which would probably kill it faster.

There really isn't. You're just adding a connotative difference if it's a socially acceptable reason.

It's part of setting boundaries and letting someone know that they exist. You aren't being a dick of someone chooses meth over a relationship. No one is entitled to a relationship, there are plenty of acceptable reasons that could be ultimatums to end a relationship.

It depends on the more on what is at stake more than just the ultimatum. Get sober or get out is very different than stop your hobby or get out. No matter how you try to get someone to give up their running club, it's probably an abusive move.

Copper is way easier to fence and way easier to steal. The RAM and NVME aren't getting installed until the building has functional security. The mile of copper wire to run power is locked in a trailer and might not even have a permanent fence around it yet.

Pockets in baby clothes exist to frustrate women.

The turbine is about equally difficult to make as the reactor, it doesn't make sense to waste one on a reactor that can't max it out. Small modular reactors work great for boats though, where size is a bigger factor, and the Navy is actually pretty good at making them.

That's already free on Twitter daily.

GameStop could actually help solve some problems eBay has. GameStop has stores everywhere that can serve as pickup locations to avoid theft problems. GameStop has humans that can help with scam offerings where fake items were sent, or verify an item is intact before returning so a seller can't lie about it being broken. eBay can become a supply source for collectables or whatever products GameStop wants to focus on in stores. They could sell a membership that lets you have items shipped to your store for inspection before purchasing or something like that.
