There are rumours that Microsoft is internally demanding 30% margin from Xbox, and the gaming industry simply doesn't operate with those types of margins long term and it's not even in a position to dictate industry pricing.

It's like the entire company is only satisfied with being #1.

The whole thing is very confused and lacks consistency. The latest rumours are they are going to break up its Game Pass subscription offering so there are different subscriptions for multiplayer, cloud, games, etc. Isn't that the opposite of an effective subscription strategy?

The one that is actually supported and not abandoned.

There’s a lot. You can surprisingly run a competent web application with a React client, Go backend, and SQLite DB. Go in particular is very efficient on small compute instances.

It’s definitely a way to get a competitive advantage over others that rely on more traditional architecture.

I blame Broadcom. They behave like an aged care home for software, who actively engages in financial abuse.

They have to expand capacity, Chinese company CXMT is scaling fast; Micron and SK need to protect their market share even if they risk trading at a loss in 2028.

I think what was meant is that Amiga’s market share was predominantly in the home computer space. And its software catalog consisted primarily of video games rather than productivity software. In that sense it was low end.

It was wedged between game consoles and PC’s, and it eventually couldn’t compete against neither.

I thought plug-in solar was coming 10+ years ago.

The population of the Faroe Islands is just 56,210, how can they possibly afford this massive network of tunnels.

The website suggests the tunnel will cost 260m euros, how can that possibly be true?

Give it a few years, I’m under no illusion that when faced with competition Qantas will ditch the wellness zones and extra legroom.

London-Sydney is only a bit further than London-Perth.

It was clearly built with AI.

Does anyone here think Cursor is overvalued? It's just packaging up what already exists, it has no moat or IP.

I think you are missing the point.

It’s about software preservation and abiding by the implied expectations at the time of sale.
