Hangouts was so close to perfect before they blew it all up.

Now I’m using a mix of Chat and Voice and it’s terrible for everyone. Voice doesn’t even support RCS from what I can tell, and all my messages with iPhone users are full of reactions. It’s so annoying. I’ve had the same Google Voice number for over a decade, why is this so frustrating?

Have some respect for those of us waiting for Xbox 🥲

I was a patient reader and just finished the last Expanse book last weekend (it was fantastic). Now I’m having to work very hard to remain patient for this game. I may buy it just to support the franchise and play it on my own time later.

I’ve lived by this advice my whole career and it’s never failed me.

Proud to be here with you all on this historic night. Hope it’s RICO and hope Lindsey Graham is included.

The developer originally said he could sustain a $3 a month subscription, but after checking the numbers for higher usage account he saw that it couldn’t really work.

I’m still looking into it, gathering data etc. Unfortunately the average call rates when broken down to the top 2, 5, 10% etc of users is painting a much different picture. This is the cohort of users I would expect to possibly convert to a subscription model and the average rates for those users can be 3,4,5 even 600 hundred calls per day just by the shear amount they use the app. Some of the top users are well over 1000 per day and sometimes over 2000.

So I’m not sure yet. It would probably have to be a usage based subscription model if it was going to be anything and I’m not sure that’s worth doing. I am still looking into it but unfortunately I don’t think my earlier price points will work.

For real though. I hope the former Reddit 3rd party app devs know how much the community supports them. They deserve it too, after how they’ve been treated. Just be open with any pricing concerns and my wallet is ready.
