i'm sure this will be very popular with the user base of their newest acquisition
Execs at Oracle, the likely new owner of TikTok, are VERY outspoken in Israeli media about the company's "mission to support the State of Israel" & "unequivocal support for Israel."

Was anyone saying "war fighter" before like 2 years ago?
Our Secretary of Warfighteriness has another great idea:
Make all potential generals and admirals pass a war game.

Great work,guys!

I just heard three separate conversations in a coffee shop about their tech companies. They talked about stock options, cashing out through acquisition, maximizing user draw, etc. but never once discussed is their software actually helping anyone. These are their priorities.

That means that user acquisition costs are going to spike again if user numbers dip below the "acceptable loss" line and revenue starts coming up short. But this time, no one with a platform is going to champion Game Pass as "the best value in gaming" as we once did.
