A dealership (or that’s how it works here) is obligated to sell x amount of cars (usually same brand or at least same group). They will just be sent the cars whether they sell them or not. So in a worst case scenario the franchise ends up with shitty cars no one wants and has to dump them on the market for shit prices.

The result is often that cost of maintaining a vehicle at a dealership is through the roof because they don’t have a healthy margin on new cars (or even lose money on them).

They also have very idiotic requirements at times to even become a dealer. Although supposedly they have loosened requirements and rules since no one wanted to be a dealership anymore here.

As far as remasters go I think it’s pretty good.

Don’t expect a 2025 game in terms of mechanics and level design. For it’s time Oblivion was a very good game. This is a polished version of the original with updated graphics and somewhat modernised combat and movement. They ironed out a lot of clunky mechanics and bugs too.

As far as remasters go the GTA ones were absolute dogwater just like warcraft 3 remastered. This one is very good and imo comparable with the command and conquer remasters.

I dont think they could have done much more without making the game completely different.

Yeah, even here in Europe most places that sell cars gave up their dealerships.

It’s a shitty business model that makes no sense for the owner.

And yet people think Linux (mint) is so hard to use and absolutely no replacement for windows.

Linux: go to app store, click install. Done

Windows: go to app store, click install done.

Literally the same process, only Linux doesn’t randomly update your apps and make them crash. My windows installation at work literally had 3 outlook variants at some point (just like you mentioned) and none of them worked.

I literally never was forced to use the terminal in Linux (well I did but not because I had to) and in windows I have to do shitty things in the register to get back functions (like that terrible decision to hide the “refresh” in the context menu).

I genuinely think MS has gone down the enshittification route and I’m not just preaching to the choir. I have every day (sadly have to use it at work) annoyances with windows and Linux just works…

But how else are they going to convince simple minded people that can’t do any critical thinking?

They don’t want people to use it. They want Google to give them a big bag of money so they can integrate it into chrome.

Seeing how things went the past 10 years i think people will have forgotten about musk by August and then the tesla shares and sale will rise to unforseen heights.

I hope I’m wrong but I seriously doubt it.

I personally don’t see the point in devices like this. Why not just run an emulator on a PC or laptop? Do you really need hundreds of hours of battery life for fooling around with retro stuff? Not to mention an e-ink screen is absolutely garbage for anything besides terminal work.

Also most enthusiasts prefer the real thing anyway. They will buy a retro computer and use the software that was used on it back in the day.

But how will my simple mind keep up with more than one simple sentence?

I just bought it so I guess ill find out. It’s a great game regardless whether they fixed it or not. I can always go archer or sword.
