They think it’s worth it to scare employees and suppress wages.
Even if it costs more to fix the mistakes it might actually be cheaper if people don’t win wage increases and layoffs continue.
I’m not saying this will work but it seems to be at least part of the logic.

on Temp Check on Blood of the Dawnwalker? in c/games@lemmy.world · 10 Sep 2026
I loved this game, I couldn’t put it down from start to finish, I explored lots of books and crannies, became a power fantasy vampire, killed the vassals, and had a great time. I would highly recommend this game as one of the best vampire games ever made.
That said, after beating it I uninstalled it and know I won’t be playing it again. It was perfect for what it was, but the end game had nothing left. Frankly I like that a game like this can still happen, it’s a fantastic single player game not a lifestyle game.
For anyone like me, definitely worth the money.
Oh also huge props to it working out of the box great on Linux with a 4080!

on 1,900 Blizzard Developers Just Won A Union Contract Full Of Protections For AI, Layoffs, And More in c/games@lemmy.world · 10 Sep 2026
If the whole industry woke up and went union things would really change.
All tech companies would implode rapidly if all their talent evaporated and they couldn’t hire anyone useful. AI isn’t enough on its own yet to be a solution, and right now is the best time to do it before it might be too late.

on Sweden confirms 458 Britons deported or forcibly removed since Brexit in c/europe@feddit.org · 5 Sep 2026
Stories like these are a good reminder to people in the US saying they will just move somewhere else.
There’s really no guarantee anywhere of safety, and when you leave your home country you become the immigrant.
Maybe that will go well, but if anti immigrant populism starts rearing its ugly head anywhere history has shown time and again it can get bad.

Hey I didn’t say I like this, just trying to pull a lemon out of the lemonade but it’s more like a mud ball out of a swamp.

As much as I hate this, yt premium is probably one of my most used services of anything streaming. I suck at lot of bytes down from them so I guess at least I might be getting what I pay for?

on Memory prices climb 500% in 12 months, up to 10x the lowest ever tracked prices — 128GB of DDR5 now $3,399 in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
Oh I don’t doubt that the current market leaders would love to price fix and play monopoly, that’s the desired end goal of all businesses.
The question is how hard is it for a startup or competitive country to get in and compete on price. I’m watching China’s chip fab especially for this reason, they have an economy that can take massive losses on something even at this scale to lock in new customers with cheap Chinese RAM. They’ve done this in many other industries I fully expect they will be competitive in this one too, and that’s just ONE credible threat to monopolies.
The us government going back to a rule of law government could also help enforce changes and break up monopoly, we will see if and how long that will take.

Well this is interesting. I guess it will at least take some time for governmental change then. Doesn’t mean it can’t change though. Not saying it’s easy.

This has been said before. Like I said maybe this time is different, but I’m not betting on it.
There has been consolidation among a few manufacturers for a long time. The silicon part isn’t the most expensive it’s the chip designs. If the prices say high we should see new startups emerge with new approaches and cheaper silicon. China is already making progress here, and nothing I’m seeing is telling me this time would be different from us chip designers. Also Europe is looking to get some us resilience and startups in chip design could happen there too.
It’s convenient to blame greed, and in some industries this is very relevant, but silicon is so much less defensible at least in the chip design industry that startups are likely to keep on coming as long as opportunity exists, which high prices are a pretty good indicator of high demand and limited supply.
I have worked in this industry for a long time, I’ve seen the cycles, and again I expect this time to cycle again.

Except in my lifetime I’ve seen the prices of computer components swing wildly based on supply and demand.
Tech improvements tend to drive prices down not up, it’s less about supplier collusion in this particular market.
Maybe this time is different but I’m not betting on this.

The only rational choice right now is to wait to buy new ram.
Either production capacity catches up and this amount of silicon is the new normal and prices come down or the ai bubble does crash and prices come down.
It can’t go on at this price point forever.
