  • The difference between all the illegal shit that the administration has been doing and this is that the president kind of feasibly had power to order immediate action, so people obeyed, BUT he was also supposed obey the judiciary when it said he couldn’t do that, and he didn’t do that. They move fast so that when people call them on it, it’s already done and they can say they can’t do anything about it. NOT doing something is a lot easier to get away with than doing it. Pardoning a state crime would be a case where the action would be 100% clear to be illegal from the get-go, so doing it fast and then pretending to be suddenly helpless wouldn’t work. He would actually need the entire system in that state to obey him over the law when they have no defense for doing so and no assurance that they’ll be pardoned or rewarded at all. It might happen, but it’s also not very feasible yet.





  • PC gaming and console gaming are two very different markets, due to the open nature of PCs. Until recently, Microsoft has had a monopoly on all of it and the ability to control the environment it happens in, if not what happens in said environment. They do not want to lose that. That’s actually kinda the reason Valve started making steam machines in the first place, because they realized that their cash cow was dependent entirely on an operating system that might figure out a way to cut them out and they’d have no recourse.
