I expect them to cover this in as much detail as possible. They are probably the last big tech / business news website standing. I know Gizmodo, Engadget, Tech Crunch etc exist but nobody seems to have resources and connections The Verge does.
Me neither. Even though I don’t use Instagram / Threads I know it’s literally their thing, quite often communicated by management in interviews etc.
But how did Larian dunk on Hasbro specifically? I don’t recall anything either.
Hoo boy, what a mess.
Have you considered taking a look at EFF report that I linked?
This one:
Can you walk me through your logic that Google would sell your data? Who would they sell your data to, exactly, and how would that be financially advantageous to them?
Yeah, but I have to use some kind of phone. And TV box. And computer. Apple is definitely better than the alternatives in terms of data brokerage and serving me ads, which is important to me.

I definitely don’t idolize Apple, check my post history :p
Ad business is centered around profiling people, trading this data with other ad companies to enrich those profiles, and using it to shove ads down your throat. Thought it was common knowledge, sorry. Here’s more in depth explanation: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/03/google-says-it-doesnt-sell-your-data-heres-how-company-shares-monetizes-and
In terms of overall revenue it’s a side hustle for Apple, unlike Google they can live without it.
Google makes money predominantly on ads.
I use Apple hardware because it’s made by a company that has a business model based on high margins. Google is an advertising company and their business model is selling my data.
They could get on with BG3 = DOS3 thing and just go ahead with Divinity: Original Sin 4 for their next title.
God forbid our communication protocol of choice gets widely adapted before global communist revolution.

Wild Rift has 10% of active players LoL does. Death Stranding on iOS is just one more token deal Apple made to signal that they’re interested in gaming, but if past is anything to go by it’ll never get anywhere.
If anything we should be comparing DS+PSP numbers but then again it’ll never be apples to apples comparison. Nintendo DS was a phenomenon just as Switch is, which is why I used it for the example.
Yeah, casual games definitely benefit from being on mobile. That group of players barely needed PCs in the first place and was likely first to switch to smartphones and tablets where touch control scheme makes much more sense. Publishers benefit from more streamlined in-app purchases there too so even if the sales volume was similar, overall revenue will definitely favor mobile platforms.
That could be anything since they were genuinely limited by D&D but the other response provided answered my question.
