unsolicited invite re: the internet, negative 

@aescling @xenon (the forum is small, but bigger than it looks to outsiders as most of it isn't public)

@coriander only a capitalist would turn their backs !

@coriander why have fun when you could religiously dedicate yourself to learning fictional information about an intellectual property

more money:
• can make games faster and cheaper
• can sell games to people who can’t afford $70/game and thus reach a wider audience
• GBA games are better and so should sell better
• GBA games are better and so will drive merchandising opportunities more than switch games
• lower development barriers = more exclusive third-party titles, driving sales

less money:
• GBA games are worse for performative gaming (streaming) and so have less cultural cachet
• the price of games is so disconnected from the costs of producing them that anything you can do to make charging $70 justified is worth it
• can't cash in on ports of iOS games
• most gamers only buy prestige games meaning they won’t consider anything cheap or technically simple

@djsundog hard to find a reason to care about the team when they're not the local team being carried by the local station anymore tho tbh

@djsundog and the college sports teams have all moved to college league specific networks which require a cable package or separate streaming subscription!

@djsundog when i lived in WA i was far enough from seattle to get the spokane side of things and it still seemed like a thing there, but now that i live near a major city there is just No Local Programming despite the ostensibly more populous market area

so local tv just died while i wasn’t looking huh
