In 2022, Blizzard was valued at $60B and had a gross profit of $5.4B. Valve almost certainly had a gross profit more than that (Microsoft estimated $6.5B in 2021). $16B would be such a laughably low figure for the company, especially since Microsoft bought Blizzard at $70B (market cap of $74B around the same time). Not to mention how low-risk Valve’s profit is.
Yeah, I knew that the staff was confused, it’s just been several months since the bootloader app stopped working and with this news I’m starting to wonder if it will be available again
This is quite sad news. I feel like there isn’t a phone other than the zenfone 9/10 that could be a valid option for me. I guess I’ll just stick with this phone as long as I can. Hopefully they also release the unlock bootloader so I can download a new OS or some updates.
I believe ASUS phones have an unlockable bootloader - although the app for it currently doesn’t work (several month long maintenance?) but is estimated to work again sometime Q3 of this year
