Why is being right wing in Canada being a liberal? I don't care much for politics but that's oddly confusing since right wing even in the middle east means conservative.

Ned Flanders is right. Everything really is backwards in Canada.
old definition of liberal vs conservative

conservative = less voting rights, and protectionist economic policies. i.e. keep things as they were, with a monarchy in place that runs everything
liberal = greater voting rights, and lasseiz-faire economic policies. i.e. let the people vote, and vote with their money

a protectionist economy with greater voting rights is socialism

a lasseiz-faire economy with less voting rights is basically american conservatism

the conservative/liberal definition has changed since representative democracies became the norm, but it has its roots there

He also left Zynga out of nowhere, too. I definitely don't follow mobile game news enough to know if he was a shitshow there, too, though.

it's far enough in the past that I don't mind bringing it up. I was at the Zynga Seattle studio in June 2013. Mattrick came to visit the studio before he even went down to SF. There had been a substantial layoff earlier in the month, but Mattrick went out of his way to let us know we were valuable members of the company and that they planned to keep us around. Six months later they closed the studio.

They gave us an opportunity to ask questions when he visited and in retrospect I wish I had asked wtf was up with "Xbox One".

Edit: Zynga has been circling the drain since the IPO, I'm pretty sure he got cut loose because things didn't improve while he was there. Also the reason they're still a going concern is because, despite a lot of misguided purchases, they are sitting on an absolute poo poo ton of cash. I wouldn't be surprised if they're still staggering around ten years from now.

america is one of the few places where liberal is used for left-wing parties. European liberals are more like libertarians(though not as extreme as anarchocapitalists)

though the dem party is currently drifting towards european style liberalism :(

thanks for the insider info. it's possible they just hired him to do some firing.

over in goofus land though, i can totally see microsoft encouraging or even forcing first and second party devs to target the xbox one two in order to drive sales of their new hardware and then they'll send out a bunch of confused press releases where they don't understand why people are upset that halo 6 or w/e gets 19 fps on the xbox one

they will certainly gently caress it up, but probably in a way no one can yet guess. like add some feature that's a big deal but not available on the old model. such as, i don't know, VR. whereas Sony has the box thing, MS may just allow VR on the new model, pissing off everyone. or make a new controller that only works with the new model (no idea why that would be, though).

it seems like demand for the HTC Vive is really high. they're now releasing them in Microsoft stores and GameStops.

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/06/psa-htc-vive-vr-hardware-has-landed-at-physical-stores/

also, another highly scientific indicator: despite /r/oculus being around much longer, /r/vive now has 40k subscribers, about 60% of what /r/vive has. /r/oculus has become somewhat of a VR subreddit rather than specifically Oculus.
