I remember when I got my first smartphone in 2010, and there was a game where you rolled a ball by tilting the phone. I was mind-blown. :grin:

I would absolutely love to see them try to delist GTA across platforms. I'd buy out all the popcorn in my neighbourhood.

> Also, wtf Atari, how are they coming up with all this cash?

It's actually just rebranded Infogrames, but yeah, I never associated Infogrames with bags of cash, I think they even almost-bankrupted once.

> representatives from Tencent (a claim from Sony) did actually approach them to discuss licensing the Horizon franchise in March 2024 at GDC

That's actually very nice of them, and, dare I say, not entirely expected from a Chinese company. Too bad that they continued with their project despite not getting the licence.

> Are we at a point again where hysterical lunatics decide what people are allowed to play or watch or listen to?

...always have been... maybe with a brief pause here and there...

Did they also delist f2p nsfw games? I'm pretty sure payment processors should have no say in *that*, right? Right...?

Interesting. I would assume the DMCA came from a manufacturer of some of the obviously-identifiable-but-unlicensed car models, but instead it came from someone who copied a design of some car, and who thought that a model of someone else who copied a design of the same car was his own. :grin: :whistle:

@eggrole I don't get these concerns. We already have corporate-backed distros: Red Hat for enterprise, Ubuntu for consumers, SteamOS for gaming - and for everything else we have everything else. Linux is just a kernel and you can wrap it in whatever you want. In your vision, will Ubuntu become even more shitty, or will Arch become more like Ubuntu? With the first one I might agree, with the latter - not a chance.

That said, I have a completely different and yet eerily similar vision of the future - Windows will one day migrate to the Linux kernel and then we will finally "be there", for better or for worse.

What is fascinating about the analytics.usa.gov data is that Linux is 6.1% out of all systems *including mobile*.
Windows 32.5%
iOS 32.4%
Android 16.5%
Macintosh 11.7%
Linux 6.1%
Chrome OS 0.8%
Other < 0.1%

And the devices are:
desktop 51.2%
mobile 47.2%
tablet 1.2%
Smart TV 0.3%

so basically on desktop Linux is 11,9% :wub:
