Money. Capitalism.

Turns out, when you build a society and culture where you want more more more, and to get that you need money, it becomes very easy to control and turn people.

Wow, more pointless comments.

Same here, I remember being 15 and sharing the video around school on this amazing new website called Google Videos. I watched that demo multiple times and ate the hype big time, and then we know what happened next.

A few years later, EA ruined Battlefield and I've never bought a game from them since.

You're the one somehow bemused at the existence of an article about a part of history (of gaming), which again is a very common thing. Consider therapy.

To follow your bizarre example, we'd never have articles or interviews about 9/11 ever again. Let's just not bother talking to people who were around back then.

Holy shit dude, nobody's forcing you to read it and comment all that drivel.

A website made a recap article about it, including interviews with developers. That's an extremely common practice in journalism. This submission is a recap of that interview. Instead of losing your shit and typing all that out you could have read 4 lines of the article to learn that yourself.

The enshittification continues.

Didn't we agree over 20 years ago on "toaster"?

Can't we have an androidmemes sub instead? I don't particularly want memes on android at all.

Thanks for ruining the world, Americans. Holding you all responsible for this.

Is there actually any evidence of this happening? Isn't this just a photo of a couple items upside down in a shop?

I legitimately would've paid for the reddit subscription if it meant keeping Reddit Sync. It's nonsense. They just wanted the apps out of the picture.

My Reddit use has declined 70% because I only access it from my computer or through Firefox for Android (which is damn near unusable).

So a couple months ago when he needed to make noises like "USA! USA!" he moaned about NATO and claimed the UK never really helped in Afghanistan, and now that he actually wants help in his illegal war he is moaning about us not letting him use our resources?

Piss off, you old fat paedophilic cunt.

Are you seriously questioning whether there is any hype for GTA?

GTAV Online may have hindered Rockstar's goodwill for fans of the single player mode, but the Online mode rakes in cash.

RDR2 released in 2018 and is widely considered one of the best single player games with one of the best open worlds, strongly signalling to fans that Rockstar hasn't lost its mojo.

GTA VI is, unquestionably, the most anticipated game of the year. To suggest otherwise is to be insanely disingenuous on your part.

Android 'journalism' has been dead for years now. Nothing but engagement-bait, inconsequential articles like this, and "sneak peaks" into unannounced features that may never see the light of day (remember when Mishaal Rahman revealed that Google was working on making Pixel phones work as a dash cam video recorder? never saw the light of day).

Weird vibes in this comment section.

Completely unacceptable!!!! What's that? Farage accepted £5m just before running as MP? No problems there, I'm sure it was all above board...

Anyone else noticed that Connect for Lemmy has just changed its design? Feels like it's taken a lot of "inspiration" from Sync...

Maybe not equally but they will need to take a good chunk of responsibility for this.

Americans saw his first term, his attempts to bomb Iran were thwarted back then.

Americans watched as he tried to steal the 2020 election.

Americans and democrats had 4 years to punish him for this.

What did Americans do? They gave him an even bigger mandate in 2024.

Assuming the 2024 election was valid, this is an American-wide problem. You've all got to own this and you've all got to be the ones to do something about it.

I miss ten years ago, when Googlers jumped out of a plane whilst in a Google Glass video call and landed straight into IO. Yeah it was a gimmick, but it got us all talking.

I miss when Android was less mature and had a lot of catching up to do, and IO was the delivery of all the exciting enhancements coming to Android.

It's hard to get excited when the biggest announcements this year will be... "We made our AI better, buy our phone and you'll be able to use it".
