Yeah, there were a few headlines where I was like “Well… maybe? If I can’t actually read it I’ll assume false, though.”

Prior to ESO, though, Elder Scrolls was a franchise entirely marketed at people who wanted single player RPG experiences.

Even if it’s still Elder Scrolls content- a good portion of that original market is not going to have interest in a multiplayer experience. Or a subscription experience. Or a”live narrative” experience with gated content windows.

It’s a very different experience at its core, so while there may be an overlap between the two markets in the Venn Diagram, it’s still a very different market segment than a pure single player outing.

I mean - they’ve had teams working on Fallout, ESO, and Starfield simultaneously. What work was probably going to be dedicated to ES6 probably got transitioned to ESO or Starfield. They’ve definitely had multiple teams focused on multiple things - ES6 just got deprioritized.

Quicker access to magazines I’m subscribed to is like my only actual gripe about desktop at this point. Still rough on mobile because there’s no access to greasemonkey or stylesheet override tools.

There’s an open need - and a winner isn’t really determined yet. Let’s see how it plays out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Which means the longer that the minimum wage for tipping remains $2.13 for nearly half the United States - we’re probably going to see that social expectation rise to 25%.

Which honestly- sucks more for the workers than most of us who will be shifting to that level of tipping. Because it will be met with social resistance to wanting to pay more, and probably a period of actually less income for them.

The problem is - restaurants in most parts of the states cannot reliably do that. They’re going to see a higher price and they’re probably walking out soon after. Or worse - they stay and leave a shit review because they set their expectations at a higher bar of food quality than was provided.

If we could unilaterally remove exemptions for tipped wages, I’d see the possibility of it becoming much more common.

I have this same 5 character name most places. Except for Twitter and Instagram. The jerks.

So, no, not really.

Rest of the week? No.

The answer is until they lower to a more reasonable price and work with Apollo and RIF (at the very least) so that they can keep their apps running while transitioning their users to a new pricing structure that will allow them to not be bankrupted in the short term because of the price adjustment.

The only way to modify the design to fit that philosophy would be to make it very tedious to downvote something. “Are you sure” popups and multi-step. That way when people dislike it… they really dislike it.

for me it’s a really powerful statement.

Unfortunately, that’s not really the common thinking. It was the most commonly ignored piece of reddiquette.
