They might actually try and sell every IP they can once they gathered as much info on users as they can.
I will never understand how leveraged buyouts are legal. I mean it somehow makes sense in its original form where workers wore buying out the patron but now it is just weird.
Oh it's a private equity firm
It's time to actually mean it and stop buying from them. No, I mean it. Stahp.
Toys R Us still lives in Canada. She's practically just as you remember her. And she's happy. 🥲
2 of the 4 stores in Ottawa just closed and a 3rd one is going to soon. I don’t think Toys R Us is doing that well.
If 1 is profitable and 3 aren't and it's a matter of geography, that's a sound business decision.
What kind of a sane business model would benefit from holding onto (and paying taxes on) property/assets that aren't profitable? 🧐
Yeah, that’s kind of my point. 3 of 4 stores in Ottawa aren’t profitable is probably an indicator that Toys R Us (at least in Ottawa) isn’t doing that well.
Do we really need 4 physical stores in Ottawa, though? I mean yea it’s sprawled to shit but still. Looks like the Merivale is still going and it’s at least pretty central. There are plenty of other toy stores around as well, so the concept of physical locations, at least, is still cruising.
Merivale is the one that will probably close soon. A few months ago, they sold the property and put the “store closing” signs up, but took them down when the sale fell through. I assume it will close again when they sell the property again.
The only one that I believe hasn’t closed or tried to close is the St. Laurent one. Even the one in Gatineau apparently had closing signs, but I don’t know if they actually closed or not yet.
She's practically just as you remember her.
Except for the soft play area they're adding. She's enshittifying.
Toy store: adds play area for little children
You: 
Except for the soft play area they’re adding. She’s enshittifying.
why is that enshittifying?
In Canada, enshittification makes things even better.
Last time I visited Canada I ate poutine twice in one day and you better believe I faced some enshittification. Great public toilets though; in the states it feels like every city has become a toilet desert, you need to buy a meal at a restaurant just to use a bathroom.
Excited to see the version of Call of Duty that the new Saudi owners produce.
Hopefully you won't experience it IRL.
Don't forget Trump's son in law
You mean Jared Kushner who along with the Saudis that bought EA?
Jared Kushner has a close relationship with Saudi Arabia, developing a strong alliance with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during his time in the Trump administration. Since leaving office, Kushner has had significant business dealings with the kingdom, including a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund into his private equity firm, Affinity Partners. This relationship has drawn scrutiny from ethics experts and congressional investigators.
Battlefield surely?
Battlefield: Ghaza
It's one of the aerial levels. :( :(
I'm sorry. I didn't create the news.
Gamer known as ea
I can't tell if they're an optimist or just naive.
I asssumed they meant it was already shit, so cant be enshitifed further.?
Challenge accexpted ?
I think they are claiming that EA is already shit? I’m not positive.
No you're right, but they seem to think that it can't get worse... and it very much can.
:shrug: The EA logo might as well already be a big red stamp "DO NOT BUY!" Not like I could give them any LESS money
I think it's funny that EA publishes on steam now because you can see how bad the reviews are for e.g. the FC game. Most people are obviously not happy with the quality of the games. But some still buy them year after year, for reasons that elude me
Their base is casual gamers where it's basically the only game they buy each year. The cost is very small in those terms, and they don't want to be on the old version despite the issues.
I just assume most people are idiots. That really explains a lot of these things.
Where does a boycott end and "their products are just shit" begin?
In his first term, the economy didn't tank. That's it, that's the difference.
It did once his dead switches triggered. Remember that tax bill that gave everyone tax breaks for four years then jumped higher than before? Ya, that was intentional.
