Thank you.
This has slowed down productivity in my and my friend's companies to a grinding halt. Thank you so much.
I, for one, am happy for this merger / acquisition.
As a mobile games developer, I feel that Unity as a game engine has lost its way in the last few years, and the recent acquisitions reflect that. Instead of capitalizing on its merits and strengths - an easy-to-bootstrap multi-platform engine which is perfect for mobile development - Unity has opted to try and compete in the AAA/AAA-like market against Unreal. The recent announcments and the features actually being delivered from Unity support that strategic transition, and this leaves the engine in a state of constant conflict with itself.
Ask anyone who tried to integrate a 3rd party advertisment engine into their game and you'll understand why including a 'default' or an easy-to-bootstrap advertising and user-acquisition tool is a good move. This will hopefully streamline what is nowadays a less than ideal process. That is, if the merger will be capitalized upon instead of just serving the stock owners.
Soooooo the main take here is to not put all your eggs in Google One basket?

A lot of people here seem to be surprised that people would spend $200 on a niche gaming console when you could instead get an emulation machine or "real" handheld.
To add a bit of perspective, from someone who sells classic video games for a living: this console's main point isn't to be affordable or play high-end games. Its target market probably already owns an OLED Switch, a Vita, PSP, every DS model and 2 or 3 Game Boys (one of which is modded with an IPS display).
It's designed to be interesting. That's it. Doesn't need to have a killer app or broad library.
Any utility it offers comes from the fact that it's something to add a bit of spice and fun to an already broad games collection, and possibly the clout that comes from showing other people that you own one.
From that perspective, I think these guys have absolutely hit it out of the park. Not surprised by the success of this at all.

I feel personally attacked.

Am I the only one who thought TPP stood for Twitch Plays Pokémon ? :(
This is slack's time to gloat and market themselves.
BTW there is an abundance of VoIP services these days, from Facebook calls to Whatsapp to Google Hangouts to Viber to Fring.
