Europe gives Elon Musk 24 hours to respond about Israel-Hamas war misinformation and violence on X::Thierry Breton, the European commissioner for the internal market, warns Elon Musk about disinformation on X related to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
He doesn’t have time for that, after all he’s the busiest man on the planet and earns his billions every day.
Which is why his Diablo 4 Druid is level 100. Lol.
If your going to bash him, don’t do it for him playing computer games.
…there are plenty of proper reasons!
When someone claims they are so work-focused that they sleep in the office and expect others to follow suit, finding out that they have a high level character in a game that’s only a few months old is worth bashing them over.
It’s not that Elon plays games, it’s that he pretends he’s too busy to do so and expects his employees to be too busy to do so.
That’s not the point. The point is that oligarchs always go on about how hard they work, which makes them somehow deserve all the wealth they’ve swindled us out of. But if you work so hard, you won’t have time to sink endless hours into a game.
Bashing him for his choice of game is fair play.
He’s still playing that shitty game?
I enjoy Diablo IV and I think that’s okay. It’s a wonderful dopamine generator and a good podcast companion.
The fact that it’s online-only should be reason enough for no one to buy it and continue enabling this anti-consumer behavior. But whatever, no one cares I guess.
The fact that it’s online-only may be reason enough for you not to buy it. You don’t get to dictate what the rest of us do.
I’m not sure I understand why you consider online-only “anti-consumer.” It’s just the direction this series has taken. We don’t call any other requirements “anti-consumer.” I don’t have a graphics card on my PC good enough to support VR, does that mean Half Life Alyx is “anti-consumer” for being VR only?
At the time I understood the frustration the community expressed with Diablo III, but we’re well past that now. And network connections are far better now than they were then.
Does it limit Blizzard’s audience? Sure. Does it alienate some people who played Diablo II? Sure. But to Blizzard, the benefits in terms of design freedom, baked-in multiplayer zones, and anti-cheating capabilities outweigh that loss.
No one is trying to dictate what you do. I’m making you aware that your choices impact everyone else and expressing my dismay that you and other purchasers don’t seem concerned about the direction of this industry.
I mean it’s very simple. It benefits the corporation. It has zero benefit to the consumer, and several drawbacks, including the inability to play anytime there’s not an active internet connection (mobile), and the inability to play when the developer inevitably goes out of business or their servers go down, whether temporarily or permanently.
I don’t know what this means. It’s not “just a direction”, it’s an explicitly anti-consumer direction.
Uhhhh no? Why would it be?
None of these have anything to do with requiring a server ping for single player modes.
Why would he not pay somebody to play?
Why do you know what level he has in some game? Why are people so obsessed with Elon in general? Ignore that clown.
He’s one of the wealthiest people in the world
So? Do you know the level of Gates in some game? Or any other absurdly rich person? This is only happening with Elon.
Little note: he doesn’t earn billions every day
oh, so sorry
