This is unfortunate for Indie Game devs too since I suspect deck owners will be more likely to purchase lesser known titles on the cheap.
I definitely have been buying more indie games since my deck has been my main gaming rig. I don't have to worry about framerates dropping and many are deck certified which makes it easier to take a chance.
How convenient this decision was supposedly made prior to the decision to unionize and is related to only financial issues.
I bet they are always discussing what studios to cut or downsize in case of "economic downturns" or "failing to meet quarterly projections" so they can't be accused of union-busting or retaliation.
I think we need to learn more about the union movement in Canada and US. People fought and died over these rights. Companies and governments forgot unions were the agreement we made to not drag their asses out in the streets and beat their asses.
It would be good for those in power to remember this compromise, because we are getting ripe for another wave of work reform.
It does feels like we are all riding together on a burning chariot of doom to hell.
Edit: re-worded so it actually makes sense.
The idea sounds like GameSpy back in the day for multiplayer games.
She said the quiet part out loud with regards to universal healthcare - it makes it too easier for us plebs to change jobs.
Tying healthcare to a job takes away leverage and negotiating power from the employee.

The article states that the rumor would be Asus gets production lines up and running by end of Q2 of 2026 (typically that would be end of June for most companies).
They do have experience in manufacturing already and RAM isn't as difficult to produce as say 14nm cpus.
I do think it's an ambitious timeline though if the rumor is to be believed. The article does say to take it with a grain of salt.
After Gamer Nexus did their excellent piece on Asus and their frustrating RMA process I am wary of hardware from Asus, but beggars can't be choosers.
Especially after Micron's decision to pull from the consumer RAM market. We need companies to step up to the plate.
Thanks for the heads up. Good to know it's a bad faith actor behind the account.
I like to believe all the baby penguins dropped off the cliff in Mario 64 are the reason the penguins in the Madagascar movie have a military air about them.
They were the special ops team trained to take down the mustached maniac menace before getting captured enroute to the LZ.
How I know you didn't read the article or your reading comprehension is abysmal:
"DOGE failed to cut spending because most federal spending was for entitlement programs, where spending remains high due to structural reasons and policy autopilot,” CATO’s analysis continued. “Congress alone has the authority to cut these programs, so it’s unsurprising that DOGE did not reduce spending.”
My 2nd build ever and first time building on my own. I was happier than a pig in mud when it power on and posted on the first attempt.
My build (nothing fancy, just for some 1080p gaming):
*Edited: Forgot to add the storage.
I recently stayed in an apartment that didnt have central air so I created a corsi-rosenthal box since the smoke from the Canadian wildfires were so bad.
After 30 days of continuous use, with very minimal periods of it being turned off, this is what the filters look like!
It's disgusting yet also so satisfying to see the filters get darker from debris, dust, and dirt.
