It's a bit more than a trilogy lol. It's a nonology!

No. Because it's a single service and the regulators want to encourage innovation in a small but fast growing market. This does not do that.

The antitrust concerns center on cloud gaming, not the consoles. The UK regulator basically said that it's unlikely that Microsoft would profit from making CoD an Xbox exclusive, but it would be extremely beneficial and provide a substantial benefit to make it exclusive to their cloud gaming platform.

Because the current cloud gaming market isn't massive this basically meant that Microsoft would be the only choice for most consumers and could stifle growth and innovation in the industry, which would negatively affect UK consumers. Microsoft proposed that they have ten years where they are forced to put games on specific competing platforms. But the problem with that is they wouldn't need to include any new entrants to the market and they got to dictate the method of sale. This would obviously prevent new entries to the market (who's gonna pay for the cloud gaming service that doesn't have CoD, when you could go to one that does) and would prevent someone from innovating the purchase method (say they wanted to introduce a subscription that gets you access to all games on the platform, they would be unable to include CoD in that). And theh generally don't like things like this because after 10 years it's just going to become an exclusive anyway, so it doesn't ultimately correct the issue.

I'd recommend you read the report on it, it's very thorough.

Oops. I skimmed his wikipedia to double check, but apparently not enough. I'll update the post body.

Ah, so the count in the top right is the total, taking the number of upvotes and subtracting the downvotes.

You can't yet. You'll have to go to the site to open the link. It's a bit of a bug at the moment, on top of the fact that linking in the fediverse is a bit crap for now. They're working on making it easier to link between instances at the moment.

The heats not too bad with a fan tbf. As for what I'm doing today is work, but busy work as they don't really have a project for me to get on with since I finished this one faster than expected, and the next bit is delayed.

But otherwise sleep has been a pain as this year the hay fever seems to have activated my asthma which is fun. Oh and I have massive blisters and raw skin because Dr. Martens are way worse to break in than I anticipated.

Damnit, I knew I shouldn't have blocked him. Sorry guys this is my fault, I only had him muted before.

If you're using jerboa then I'd recommend just going to a web browser and following the links their. Linking throughout the fediverse isn't quite optimal yet. I did hear there was a change proposed to the UI to fix that at least on the web, jerboa would need an update after that I imagine.
