Problem is, no one admits that and lies about it. So here we are. A lawyer can only help so much when you lie about it.

Because that’s the bias the media you consume wants you to believe.

Jedi Survivor, Suicide Squad, and Mortal Kombat account for $800M of this list, and none of them came to Game Pass, meaning Microsoft did not opt to spend that money.

Or… no amount of money was enough to make those games cannablize their sales, why do you think it’s only Microsoft making decisions…?

What truth? That Spencer says it profitable, but won’t provide the information to prove it…? Yet all the leaks and information point the opposite direction…? You want the truth, don’t listen to Spencer and read between the lines lmfao. The last person you should be listening to on this, is the one at the top of it.

Provide anything other than Spencer claiming it, I bet while you attempt to find that you’ll find the mountain that’s behind you.

Games leave gamepass since when it comes to renewal they don’t want to since streaming cannablizes sales and leads to lower revenue (already said this) so it’s not Microsoft deciding it’s not profitable, it’s the game wanting control back.

Investors don’t care, Microsoft itself is profitable, the gaming division can bleed money and they won’t care, since the parent company will just give them the difference another way.

Some games cost that much….

Not actually pricing, estimates, but if they were estimating that much, they were liking willing to pay close to it, even half these numbers and it doesn’t look good. Just this collection of games that a drop in the bucket of total games, would cost 1.5 billion dollars. That’s over half their revenue, without even accounting for any operating costs or anything, or the rest of the library.

So, no it is not profitable and it’s hilarious that you’re defending Microsoft for claiming this, why isn’t anyone else other than Microsoft saying the same thing? In fact lots are claiming the opposite since this leak came out and they started looking at the numbers and taking directly to devs involved. Devs hate it

Why are you talking about game budgets? Microsoft is paying completely finished games 100-300 million dollars to be on games pass. If they are doing that, do you seriously think that they aren’t spending more than 2.7 billion putting games in the service…? It’s obviously far far more than 1 billion dude….

Game pass isn’t profitable, or Microsoft would tell you the full financials to prove how good it is. So why haven’t they…?

Before it was entire access, now I need to select which specific photos it can access if I want to it to access them. Pictures taken with the camera through the app have auto access I believe.

Camera is always free to access now though. Not a fan of the change myself.

Dude.. they spend over 1 billion, but they also have 6 games that cost 1.2billion (200 million a piece). Their costs are far more than 1 billion and probably exceeds the 2.7…. Use some critical thinking here.

You have Phil Spencer saying they are profitable by telling your their sales, but only they spend more than 1 billion, they could also spend more than 10 billion, but they omit that specific information. Why? Because it would show the lie….

Please read

Shake your phone and undo everything you just typed? Faster than selecting and deleting or backspacing.

In the last few months you’ve had to give permission to both, so that’s not true at all. Before you never had to give permission individually.

It’s not profitable. They say they spend over 1billion dollars a year, but you read some of the deals and they are $200 million for one game… they also say they make $230 million a month. So if they only make 2.7 billion and spend more than a billion a year with some games costing $200 million….

How is it profitable? It’s being supported by Microsoft itself so they can bleed money to crush competition. They are being intentionally vague and not releasing intimation as it would show they are doing very illegal things.

Lots of this stuff came to light during the merger and is available online to view now.

Maybe it doesn’t pass through? Some apps need permission for camera and library, the camera would in theory give access to library like the keyboard to accelerometer as well, but that’s changed in recent months.

Typing requires the accelerometer for some functions (like undo on Apple at least).

 
 

Seeds 2x Durban poison germed Jan 6, 2x super silver haze clones cut Jan 6, 1x jalapeño and 1x sweet bell.

 

The bud that’s not worth trimming and the sugar leaves all get put to the side to the be dried before tossing around the screen to collect the kief.

 

This is just for storage while I get around to trimming it. Wet weight was ~3400g final dry weight was 411g.

 

Total wet weight with stems 3461g. Doesn’t mean much but I like the information for reasons.

Expecting to get over 500g (80% loss to moisture +stems) which will put me happily over 1g a watt.

Day 56, website says 65-70 and I try to do 70 unless she says otherwise.

I’ve noticed plants that exhibit anthocyanins seems to age faster where it purples, so while the purple parts are well over 20% amber, the green still shows mainly clear to milky. I always have a though time telling. Took some phone pics while the scope is charging.

These will sit in there for about 2 weeks, checked every couple of days to make sure the plugs don’t dry out.

 
 

Things run out at different rates (let’s call it on purpose so it’s not one LARGE bill). I try to buy in bulk as it’s cheaper in the longer run. Would buy larger sizes… but let’s be honest, life gets in the way and this stuff does have a shelf life.

This order was a hair over $250 CAD

~$40 for the scissors $50 for the bc boost $50 for the thrive alive And ~$110 for the sweet raw.

Technafloras product is Sugar Daddy, but they were sold out, it’s $70. I’ve had to replace it before.

 

This strain has given me both sides of the phenotype scale.

I’ve found to prefer the popcornesque type on the right myself, easier to trim, less prone to airflow issues. Although harder to deal with during the stretch.
