The paragraph is titled "Sounds Familiar" for crying out loud
Of course, the obligatory China mention. "Digital totalitarianism".

Oh shit, I was born in 2003!
The primary driver of Wukong's sales success is its popularity in China, where developer Game Science is based. Games industry analyst firm Niko has an in-depth article by Daniel Ahmad breaking this down. 93% of Wukong's Steam reviews are in simplified Chinese, and Steam shattered its previous download bandwidth record (set during Cyberpunk's launch) by a whopping 28 terabytes per second on Wukong's August 20 launch—82% of that traffic originated in East Asia. Gameplay videos and previews of Wukong have also been dominating Chinese social networks like bilibili.
Using nominal GDP instead of GDP adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP). America still leads in the former because the same goods and services cost more there than in China.

The last point reminds me of notions of "my religion tells me to be racist or homophobic". Like, if your "homeland" (your homeland will always exist as a land, separate of whether or not there's a "Jewish state" there) can only exist through ethnic cleansing, I'd argue it's right to ask Jews to denounce it, AS WELL AS all non-Jews who support it, because most Zionists are not Jewish.
In the 2000 years or so since the Bar Kokhba revolt, Zionism has only existed for the last 200 years. This is like Dutch racists appealing to tradition to defend our blackface helpers, when Sinterklaas didn't have any helper(s) at all for centuries.

Today's "Did you know?" also has this:
And a previous one felt like propaganda, like "Did you know... Russia bad?":
I will say, if the commercial success of Mega Man 11 and the Battle Network Legacy Collection are any indication, there is still plenty of interest. It's just that Capcom doesn't do much with them, aside from mostly cameos and merchandise. It's mostly kept alive by fans at this point.
It's like a mirror version of the Sonic franchise: Sega can't make good Sonic games (consistently) but makes them anyway, while Capcom can make good Mega Man games but just chooses not to. Then again, maybe it's good that Mega Man isn't tarnished by Capcom's modern business model...

Recall requires a computer that is compatible with Microsoft's Copilot chatbot:
Only a small portion of the most recent laptops are "Copilot+ PCs".
This means that for everyone else, this information is irrelevant. It will mostly impact business employess and higher-income dupes. Also...
