OpenAI just advertises that they’ll make you pay later and raises $100B+ on having “900M+ users”

That sounds smart but they still raise more money because they “have 900 million users”

Hotseat was more common back then I think with turn-based games

My favorite game of all time. I still have the CD-ROM even though I don't have any CD-ROM drives :)

Early buyers of the original iPhone got money back like six months later when the price was cut. I believe around $200

Surprised to see no mentions of Guild Wars 2 among all the discussion about WoW and FFXIV

I think in many ways Guild Wars kept the innovation going better than World of Warcraft. They also made it easy to level up doing your preferred activities rather than grinding “kill 5 kobold” quests. The combat is a lot more action-filled as well with the dodge mechanic and spells that don’t need to be channeled.

I think a lot of their ability to add these improvements came from selling the game as free-to-play with one time purchases so there isn’t as much reason to force you to grind every single day for monthly subscriber growth

Taylor Swift lost the rights to her music to her earlier label in a bitter dispute and ended to re-recording the songs to gain control of them
