Tech Bros ruin everything 🤷‍♀️

Hatred towards tech bros somehow increased even higher.

It won't ever be released, prices are never coming back down

Programmer buddy of mine was telling me their theory that AI is the last hurrah of Big Tech and Venture Capital, shifting a patient that has been in place since most of us were children.

Even after the Dot Bomb area is the 2000's, FinTech taking it in the chin in the 2008 global financial crisis, three meaningful Crypto rises and falls, and now AI, there's always been some new for train to institute and sell to the retail investor and the general public.

The beleaguered finances of middle classes pretty much everywhere, hand in hand with the deleted brain trusts from AI making us really dumb and unconfident (or falsely confident), convinced with the lack of new productivity borne from these last few market cycles (AI and Crypto not actually doing much for the majority of humans commensurate with the hype) results in a possible chance for actual market accountability and seeing only genuine market growth.

I think that megacrash and the world waking up to the marketing machine is considerably less likely, but agree with them (given their best experience in FinTech) that it might meaningfully end our collective beliefs that Silicon Valley can steer everyone towards brighter shores.

what in the fuck does ai have to do with this post

edit: oh its the hardware prices. yea

Are you asking them to release an... Orange Box?

Yeah and it'd be cool if they threw in a couple other games to show its versatility. HL3 of course, but a multiplayer game and maybe a unique puzzle game would be a good mix of game types.

Orange Box 2, Which is a computer and contains no sequels to anything that was in The Orange Box

The GMan has broken containment and is now wandering through our timeline, inserting people into the right points to change the future. I guess this explains the whacky wild ride we're currently on.

Game is delayed because they couldn't tell people about it on a stage. This sounds logical.

"All good things..."

It is a Vice article. It has the journalistic credibility of a dirty wet wipe.

Edit: Lol, the source is an off the cuff remark of Mike Straw on a podcast. The same Dude has been teasing this news of an alleged leak since November and produced not a single shred of evidence while being an asshat on xitter about it at the same time. This is not the first time this guy speculates over future games and is taken out of context by fans.

You won’t be able to order the next batch unless you charge the increase in the first as you won’t have the funds.

Just because a journalist says something doesn’t mean it’s even remotely true.

Basic economics.

It'll depend on the futures contracts. They'll have price clauses and, get-out clauses , resale clauses and stuff, so it'll come down to lawyering.

It's unlikely that journos know the contract details. Buy clearly any OEM without a futures contract already in place does not have access to low prices.

And any OEM with cheap stock and contractual freedom to resell would seriously consider parting out and selling off stock at the windfall price.

And Beyond Good & Evil 2.

Because it's not actually "half life three". It's (half life)^3. One of the hardware constraints is that has to be played on something cubic.

Maybe they just realised in time about the upcoming RAM price hike and setup both to each other, so that either one becomes an excuse for the other.

I'm confused, was there any expectation it would that I missed? As far as I know half life is dead. They never even finished episode 3 of half life 2 from like two decades ago.
