Is it baffling? Live service games are all about extracting as much money from players as possible via loot boxes and battle passes. The best game is the game that makes the most money. Therefore, live services are the optimal type of game.
Activision and Blizzard failed before this technology was available to them.
The Index by itself is 500 dollars, not 1k.
LCD screen was a feature of the Index over the OLED screen in the Vive. On the Vive, the OLED has a visible pattern and some of the image is lost because there aren’t an even number of red green and blue subpixels (similar to PSVR2). The Beyond is screen is micro OLED with a more regular subpixel pattern.
PSVR might be the only headset available with these features for cheaper, but not much cheaper, and it doesn’t have the headphones.

Are people in this article really suggesting that the 100% emoji is racist? You can never get a perfect score or agree with anything again because a small number of people have used that number to mean something else and now somebody will interpret it as a hate crime.
At first they were arguing that somebody writing “shit” in an exaggerated way, and the occurrence of two other numbers and an elongated asterisk were Nazi symbols, and they could be, but the only evidence is that somebody said they thought it was too many coincidences. I don’t know enough about the circumstances to say it is or isn’t intended that way. Management apparently thinks it isn’t. But saying multiple people reacting “100%” to a message they agree with means they’re all using the number 100 as a sign of white supremacist solidarity is ridiculous. What else are they going to do? React with the “OK” hand? No, the ADL also decided that one is racist. React with thumbs up? No, younger people have decided that one is rude.
And the licensing that’s supposed to ensure that everything is kid-friendly.
The way those mod loaders work for games that don’t have built in mod support is often by using Win32 APIs to inject the loader into the game process like a virus. It’s unlikely that injection mechanism and subsequently finding the relevant game code works correctly on Linux under Wine. Mod loaders that involve modifying the game files or placing extra DLLs in the game directory might work, but might take some extra tricks.
He might not be the best but he surely wouldn’t be the worst candidate.
Windows 95 was also a shell on top of MSDOS. Windows NT wasn’t running on top of DOS, but it was primarily for business use until Windows XP.
Did they also revert the change where most hostile NPCs would automatically flag you on agro? A long time ago you could run through towns without being flagged, and NPCs could kill themselves by attacking players that had some sort of damage reflection without the player becoming flagged.
World of War Warcraft is also unplayable at noon on Tuesdays. It’s an uncommon enough time that the servers might be down for maintenance. They could do a better job explaining that if that’s the case, but it’s early access.
If you’re in an Office you might be using a completely different product with the same name from the same company with a similar logo.
Microsoft has a real branding problem with messaging services. First they had Skype and Skype for Business and now they have Teams and… Teams. They’re completely different products and don’t interoperate. This is almost certainly for the home version of Teams.
It’s not even a good name. Who thinks of their friends and family as teams?
It’s the number one change in the patch notes.
