That's a zoom out of 5 years Gold prices don’t move in a straight line. On a day‑to‑day and week‑to‑week basis, there are ups and downs - it zigzags it is absolutely fluctuating but the bigger problem is the sharp incline which suggests it is in a bubble.

And none of any of that has anything to do with anything I said.

How do you even get a ring to cost $5M it sounds like a strategic nightmare? The most expensive gem that isn't radioactive that being the red diamond is still only ~$1M a Gram the rock would be a literal rock at that point.

Why do people assume gold has intrinsic value? I just saw today they were freaking out about how much gold is fluctuating, it is just as imaginary as the dollar.

Technically the Big Mac does provide some form of intrinsic value in the form of food for the homless. but for the average person it would actually give them more value to take the big mac away so it has sorta a negative value, negative intrinsic value, I think I just invented that.

Oh wow 😲, you mean statements like:

"You need a little friction to create games"

“Microtransactions make the player experience more fun”

“Nothing is eternal” about support for older games

And wonderful decisions like:

always-online DRM

Removal of Access to Purchased Games

microtransactions in full-priced single-player games

Making the same game 500 times

Partnerships with Tencent.

Might have been bad ideas that lead to a lack of consumer trust and we have absolutely no reason to be forced into buying from a game company we don't like since literally anyone can download a game engine and start making games for free? Are you saying Yves Guillemot has been wrong this entire time? That's impossible next you'll be telling me EA or Bethesda is just as doomed and indie games will be just fine so gamers will be all the better for it.
