Brit here. I have never been asked for my address pre-offer.

Video game worker here. I used to get 5-15 inMails a week offering me an interview. This year? 2. In total. The industry is brutal right now.

Not sure if you’re being obstreperous or not…

First, these are suffixes not prefixes. Second, this isn’t unusual.

Xbox Series X was updated in 2024 with no update to show it was the second Xbox Series X.

MacBooks and iPads aren’t released with suffixes.

Amazon have released how many Echos by now?

This isn’t some weird conspiracy…

I don’t think that’s how it works. The Xbox One wasn’t the first Xbox, DOOM didn’t get a number for its reboot, etc etc.

But you are right that it’s the second one!

I can’t find a reference to first - where did you see it?

You’re right, of course. I still love my Steam Controller (and Steam Link) after all this time.

And then you have the Xiaomi Ultra range which is basically a bridge camera with a phone attached!

How true is this or are we doing the same thing “generation killed industry/way of doing things” that the boomer media is so fond of?

Or, hear me out, restoring native ecosystem is in itself anti-colonial. This is the weirdest whataboutism I’ve seen in a bit.

You don’t have to give either money and there is the option to give both money.

You literally sent that from a FOSS platform…

Removed by mod for providing an example of a counterpoint that’s eco friendly?
