It was showing the latest item from each game's news feed. Publishers are free to show whatever there, some show patch notes, in-game events and some use them to promote DLCs/sequels/related media. Some of these are "ad" like.

Knowing what a mess development is, especially games development, it's fairly easy to imagine this being an unfortunate incident where there wasn't proper integration testing done which might have caught this. There's no obvious benefit to showing years-old patch notes for games, so it seems pretty clearly unintended.

Apple doesn't sell commodities might be more accurate.

The higher the resolution you run a game at the more likely it is that the GPU becomes the bottleneck for the frame rate.

Rest of the World I think

There's probably more than a few of us on HN from smaller countries who would also find the size of the US mind-boggling.

I think supply chain disruptions for manufacturing the new hardware and disruption to development of the launch games are probably more likely to affect the release plans.

I think that's just a side effect of them becoming a more global company and producing content for different markets but just throwing it all up worldwide.

Would agree their dubbing is universally horrendous. Even for something well reviewed like Dark.

I believe Apple Pay works the same in this respect so the virtual account number is not cycled per transaction. I can't remember if it's cycled per vendor or just unique per device.
