Yes I agree. If you are using adblocker you are already not an average user. Using A adblocker with custom filters put you on the extreme end and most of those users are either already on FF or have migrated to FF since the MV3 announcement.

And let's not forget adblock made for MV3 will work well enough for those users who aren't using adblocker with custom filters.

Even if Google kill off adblock completely with its browser, chrome will still be dominating the market by a huge margin.

Cod is like fifa. If you play one title you pretty much played all of them.

I say everything released after COD Modern Warfare 2019 can pretty much fall under "expansion".

It is not for me but there are people who only play COD and spending $70 annually to get the newest content of the favourite game is really not that big of a deal.

I am not defending Activision. The title made it sound like the whole audio system is locked behind paywall but it is actually just the personalized profile that is.

Less shitty but still shit nonetheless. I can't imagine it being worth paying and any improvement should be minimal. But hey I am sure there will be fanboys who swear the difference with and without is night and day.

Yes it is dumb. We are now one step closer to pay to reload and I am glad I don't play modern COD.

Denuvo profits off game developers fears of their game not being well received by gamers for reasons such as performance issues, bugs, or at its foundation is just a mediocre game.

I like to believe that the narrative that piracy hurt sales is only true for medicore/bad games because the average pirate is broke and they are not going to buy your game just because of denuvo and those who can afford to buy will choose not to after getting to try it.

On the other hand good games will always be commerical successful with or without denuvo.

Enhanced Headphone Mode will be available to all players for free.

$20 is for 5 years subscription of Personalized profile for EHM.

If the personalized profile actually provide higher precision audio then yeah it is probably 'worth it' if Cod is the only game you play/or play competitively.

After all a good pair of stereo headphone is more 'pay to win' and also cost way more.

Yes i am glad i am seeing less of those useless sex scenes. In my opinion implied sex is better than graphical sex scene most of the time. You don't need to see them have sex to know that they did and it will get the point across just the same to the audience without all the awkward and cringey aspect that comes with two actors playing pretend.

My brain just go ..... when random awkward 30 second sex scene happens out of nowhere or they just start making out, kissing and moaning loudly then suddenly we are in the next scene and everything is back to normal. Why?

Unless the film is sexual in nature random full frontal nudity, stray tits, stray ass, visible privates always makes me so confused.

i don't get this 'generation gap' thing. There are also Milennials who are just as clueless.

You can always dive into the whole private tracker, sonarr/radarr + media server setup if you want superior quality or just to host your own files. But if you are happy with what streaming sites/apps provide that is fine too.

I for one am glad that piracy is easily accessible by anyone who has access to the internet.

All I know is piracy definitely has an impact on bad games/products and if you give the consumer something worth buying, they will most definitely buy it if or when they can afford to.

They might also recommend it to their friends or talk about it online which lead to additional sales that would not happen if they didn't sail the high sea.

When you are six hours into playing Battlefield and you run out of ammo in your clip, and we ask you for a dollar to reload, you're really not very price sensitive at that point in time. A consumer gets engaged in a property, they might spend 10,20,30,50 hours on the game and then when they're deep into the game they're well invested in it. We're not gouging, but we're charging and at that point in time the commitment can be pretty high. But it is a great model and I think it represents a substantially better future for the industry.

I was reminded of this. They would if they could. I am glad i am not living in that timeline.

Changes to the online advertising market would make online ads less valuable for publishers and merchants, and less useful for consumers.

If by useful they meant anything that is heavily promoted by Google ads get added on the 'will not touch with a 10 foot pole' list. Sure, I guess?

Also hinting at changing their business models, raise the cost of devices, should chrome or android be forced to break up.

Google blog response is exactly why this breakup should happen. They are getting out of control.

We can all agree End Game was peak MCU.

Spider-Man No Way Home is the only MCU movie that I really enjoyed watching in phrase 4-5.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was the last MCU I cared enough to watch in the theatre.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was good? but I can hardly recall what happened in that movie.

Most of the mini-series on Disney+ are forgettable. Loki season 2 was chef kiss and I want to see more of Moon Knight.

The recent Deadpool & Wolverine was dumb but it was lots of fun to watch.

I feel like those pre End Game characters are doing all the heavy lifting in current MCU. I don't find myself caring for most of the new characters that they are bringing in to set-up for the next big stage.
