Subscriptions Are Expensive These Days

Ubisoft trying to control your physical game copies is like trying to delete water with a fork. Sure, they can demand you destroy your discs when their servers shut down, but meanwhile, gamers have been quietly making backups since the dawn of time. It's the digital equivalent of telling someone to burn their book while they're standing in their personal library with 50 copies. Corporate DRM fantasies vs. reality: Round 1,254,789... and DRM still hasn't won a single match.

Remember when we thought AI would just take over mundane jobs? Fast forward to 2023, and GitHub Copilot is writing code while game developers are sweating bullets. The Terminator isn't coming for Sarah Connor anymore—it's coming for your job security and your gaming time. Soon we'll all be sitting in corners wondering what's left for humans to do besides watching AI play better Halo than we ever could.

The career path of a developer who started by hacking game ROMs is like finding out your coworker used to be in a cult. Normal devs learned Python in high school, but the ROM hackers were out there reverse-engineering assembly code at age 12 just to make Mario wear a cowboy hat. Now they're sitting next to you debugging TypeScript with thousand-yard stares, permanently damaged by their formative years of hex editing and wondering why modern languages have so many "unnecessary features" like memory management.

Nvidia's marketing department working overtime to impress people who haven't upgraded since 2012! Comparing their shiny new RTX 5060 Ti to the ancient GT 710 is like bragging that your Tesla outruns a horse and buggy. "50x faster" sounds impressive until you realize they're benchmarking against a GPU that was already budget-tier when Obama was president. Next headline: "New iPhone charges 100x faster than telegraph machines!"

The bravest soul in the tech universe, sitting there with a "4K IS OVERRATED" sign in 2023. This is like walking into a gaming convention with "RGB lighting causes cancer" written on your forehead. Meanwhile, this dude's probably coding on a 720p monitor from 2008 and telling everyone his eyes "can't see the difference anyway." Sure buddy, and I'm still using dial-up because broadband is "just a fad."

STOP EVERYTHING! The character is wearing BLUE and sitting against a YELLOW background! It's the Visual Studio mascot being passed off as Xbox's new face! The audacity! The betrayal! Microsoft really said "why create new characters when we can just recycle our dev tools icons?" Next thing you know, Clippy will be announcing the next Halo game and the Windows paperclip will be demanding $70 for the base edition. The corporate synergy is just TOO MUCH to handle!
