Competition to Intel+AMD+Nvidia.

There may not be a problem of Japan itself, but the act of this specific company in Japan that's responding to the "induced" PC hardware crisis. The induced doesn't mean that's some natural development (such as people is not buying PC anymore) but because critical components and materials (such as GPU/ram/SSD) are currently absorbed by the ongoing AI bubble eating and eating resources that are key for PC manufacturing.

Looks like an arm device: you can buy a good smartphone with better specs on that price. Actual gamers (people actively looking for a gaming device) are no the real market target: this is aimed more towards people looking for memorabilia or action figures from their favorite brand/IP.

Ricochet 2 will be sort of Valve's Smash Brothers with all the characters from Half Life, Portal, Team Fortess and Left4Dead... and it will be cannon tied in a single Valve's Multiverse.

Still not "3" for any of them tho.

I guess I am the only one thinking there's a bit of conflict of interest in a publisher that works on the "already discovered side" talking about a supposedly effective discovery system that allow customer to discover... other entities (and thus add more competition)

Well, in UK the queen was used to make lords people that had great merit for the nation: Sir Sinclair for the quite popular zx spectrum and Sir Terry Prachett for amazing narrative, on turtle, universe he crafted.

I don't remember there was any requirements on political side (queen or parliament) to acknowledge people's merit to the nation.

I am not that much interested in Macron (or any other) political career; I just get the signaling when a bad politician want it easy (to screw people) and go for elderly people instead to put some effort to convince the future generations.

Conglomerate like Sony pushes it with their business in selling TV and collateral interest in media DRM for their services.

Other TV OEM companies follow Sony&co. lead because... uhm... "Oh! They make customers.... spend money" broadly shake hands in air

Well, with old and elderly people you get Trump, Putin and Netanyahu; so I am fine with broadly politicians to catch younger generations.

Preservation doesn't work the way you think: it need a context. The best example of preservation are works in Public Domain: but you're not talking about a store then.

How do you define a witch hunt? Kings of the AI creates mobs through tiktok, facebook thanks to AI social engineering... so the mob hunt the random guys for their own guilts (as "king of the AI's guilt").

IMHO: relationship between public traded companies and shareholders is an endless exchanges of self help books on "how make money". It's whole economy is not based on either products or services... other than aforementioned books.
