is that a yes?

Good find, I had assumed people around here would at least have uBlock Origin with at least one Annoyances filter on (or similar), this is possible via Firefox mobile as well. I didn’t get the prompt as well on desktop, probably because of the Annoyances filter that blocks the consent prompts anyway.

Here’s an archived link, not sure if that helps: https://archive.is/qHSPD

I’m not sure I’m understanding this correctly, the prerequisite for a video game to be a “runaway success” is to do well sales-wise in the west? Why is the source of sales that important when the article mainly praises and discusses the game’s launch figures, behind-the-scenes, the studio’s lore, etc… like any other video game articles do? The author isn’t suggesting the sales are doing well in the west, so what warrants discussion of the games’ sales in the west in the first place?

The article’s headline alone says it’s “One of the Fastest Selling Games In History”. If we take the revenue value in the article to be true ($852 million in revenue in 2 weeks), then it beats Elden Ring by around a $100 million, give or take, in the first 2-week period (I’m assuming each copy costed 59.99$, so 12 million copies roughly translates to $720 million in revenue, since actual figures were never revealed, I think).

The article also states that it sold 10 million units in the first week, oh wait actually, that’s 10 million in 3 days, beating other games that took at least a month to reach a similar milestone.

love how commenters around here haven’t wasted any time to downplay the success and zeitgeist surrounding this game.

Bingo.

what blind “brand loyalty” to Apple and sinking cost fallacy combined looks like:

simply put, i thought it’d be more interesting to do it that way

it seems like they used the wrong colors if they intended to draw Barbados though, otherwise I couldn’t find an exact match.

That’s right, the UK is a beacon of civility and cogency, they would never stoop to this level!:

This just in: In a race to the most durable unconventional cars, Tesla is being beat by 2 rivaling start-up car brands:

funny thing is, which shouldn’t need mentioning, but here we are, you end up spending a lot more over time that you otherwise could’ve saved with that $30 bidet (because yeah, consumable products).

If he’s coming through with these…
