but no, I don't think impeachment has a chance nor will leave the house

2019-01-04 14:37:06 UTC  

gaming industry killed itself

2019-01-04 14:37:19 UTC  

they're working on year 2000 business practicies

2019-01-04 14:37:20 UTC  

It did

2019-01-04 14:37:26 UTC  

i.e. realeasing a madden every year

2019-01-04 14:37:36 UTC  

Without updating content

2019-01-04 14:37:41 UTC  

they haven't figured out how to compete with indie devs

2019-01-04 14:37:45 UTC  

Adding microtransactions

2019-01-04 14:37:48 UTC  

nor replicate

2019-01-04 14:38:03 UTC  

Selling keys instead of copies

2019-01-04 14:38:04 UTC  

their overhead is a ton higher than some random dev like chucklefish

2019-01-04 14:38:07 UTC  

<a:tfman:529522210054995968>

2019-01-04 14:38:22 UTC  

so they have do resort to this and they have to answer to shareholders

2019-01-04 14:38:26 UTC  

Also engine use is op

2019-01-04 14:38:26 UTC  

and be very risk adverse

2019-01-04 14:38:36 UTC  

unfortunaly that only works so long

2019-01-04 14:38:39 UTC  

for any business

2019-01-04 14:38:45 UTC  

same is happing to apple right now

2019-01-04 14:38:48 UTC  

they arne't innovating

2019-01-04 14:39:05 UTC  

Same with samsung though

2019-01-04 14:39:07 UTC  

the only thing keeping them propped up is people's reliance in the app store and their purchases

2019-01-04 14:39:17 UTC  

if they could move to another platform and keep those, they would consider it more

2019-01-04 14:39:32 UTC  

nah, samsung users can move to any other android and have applications

2019-01-04 14:39:39 UTC  

and music and anything from Google

2019-01-04 14:39:48 UTC  

They suffer from other issues though imo

2019-01-04 14:39:58 UTC  

Sure, but it's not like apple

2019-01-04 14:40:04 UTC  

android have phones at every price

2019-01-04 14:40:20 UTC  

i.e. you can get a very awesome phone (from 3 years ago standars) for $100usd

2019-01-04 14:40:22 UTC  

Apple i hate with a passion because its not developer friendly

2019-01-04 14:40:37 UTC  

aslo the bigger issue is everyone that was going to get a smartphone has one

2019-01-04 14:40:37 UTC  

Nb4 xorgy comes in

2019-01-04 14:40:47 UTC  

so they have to convince people to upgrade

2019-01-04 14:41:03 UTC  

1000$

2019-01-04 14:41:05 UTC  

the *good* thing is hopefully what happens is a price war comes in because features arne't worth the upgrade

2019-01-04 14:41:07 UTC  

For a phone

2019-01-04 14:41:20 UTC  

yeah and thats actually a good price all things considered

2019-01-04 14:41:30 UTC  

You can get a very usable computer at that level

2019-01-04 14:41:36 UTC  

for the amount of r&d that goes into it and the power of the size

2019-01-04 14:41:52 UTC  

miniturization always costs money so you can't compare to computer

2019-01-04 14:42:03 UTC  

that being said the prices are inflated

2019-01-04 14:42:16 UTC  

but that might see a downtrend if apple starts losing sales
