Blizzard had a fair amount of autonomy under Activision until just recently. With Morhaime removed as company president and the recent focus on cost-cutting, you should expect increasing prioritization of shareholder value over entertainment value.
...from the 38 Studios debacle. All you have to do is dangle the promise of providing theoretical jobs to a politician for their reelection efforts, and you'll get state budget dollars hanging off your hook in no time at all.
Or possibly, the target demographic is not, and never has been, people in their 50s?
Perhaps not. But to the younger generations, Star Wars is just one fish in a sea of franchises, and not an exceptional one at that.
The way you extend the life of a franchise is by expanding your fan base, not by demolishing the existing one in search of a new one that may or may not support your work.
They presented themselves as a mid-range department store, but operated like one of those shady junk stores with "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS!" signs in their windows for years.
Somebody (Not Necessarily the News I think) once did a fake commercial along the lines of "Going out of Business - 20th Anniversary Sale". The punchline at the end was: "We lost our lease.... but we're still looking for it!"
So after all this time and study, it turns out we really are a fluke of the universe and we really do have no right to be here.
I suppose it's just a matter of time that we discover that the Cosmic Microwave Background is really just the sound of the universe laughing behind our backs.
To think that Don Henley was right all this time...
"You don't really need to find out what's going on. You don't really want to know just how far it's gone. Just leave well enough alone. Eat your dirty laundry"
Yes, radio is an older technology - one option among many. But it's also the only one where you sometimes have to sit through massive amounts of advertisements to get to the actual entertainment. The ads in the free versions of apps like Pandora are nowhere near as often or as annoying.
As the old joke goes - both the Italians and the Japanese eat like that and have a greater life expectancy than Americans, British, Canadians and Australians.
Therefore, diet doesn't matter. It's speaking English that kills you.
And it's Google's fault for returning the tutorial on page one of the results. What, they're using an automated algorithm? So they need to adjust their algorithm.

Which brings us to the grand year 2019 and my MacBook Air's faulty E and R keys.

And then it all evaporates and becomes Purple Rain.
You'd best step the fuck off of LEGO.
Yeah. Those corners hurt!

How many people saw that error message and thought to themselves, "This Internet of Things concept is getting way out of hand."
What if the AI decided that the easiest way to make money was to disappear with the investments and frame the founder?
Would it be possible to put that self driving technology into a 1958 Plymouth Fury?
When reached for comment about this AI cracking their game, the developers' only response was: "@!#?@!"
Instead of "Life on Mars", perhaps they should have been playing "Radar Rider" in the background.
This stuff happens even here in the USA.... Not even a stretch... I've had tickets I've closed out for ISPs due to "fiber seeking backhoe"
That's what can happen when you're careless about spammers and wind up on the RBL: The Realtime Backhoe List.
It's either Romana... or Fred.
Buy 'em and bury 'em. Less competition in the market means that they don't have to try as hard.

Word to the wise: If it asks you to download drivers for a Neurotoxin emitter, don't authorize it.

I have 20 presents on my radio. I just next-channel when an ad appears.
How do you see over the dash?

....when even the cannibals have to start worrying about GMOs.
At least they'll be losing their jobs to American robots.

Or ask for support from wherever they copied it.
but when I bury myself solely in Star Trek people it can warp me.
Then stick to impulse power for a while.
