BCNY is such a weird company. They started out as a “Hey, browsers are a bit crap, let’s fix it” and they made Arc. Arc was fantastic. Used it daily on my Mac. They were doing cool stuff overall.

And then as soon as AI became more popularised, Josh (the CEO) went complete “tech bro” with it and started shoving AI in Arc (Arc Max) and then other problems with the browser started appearing, and the updates were few and far in between. There were promises to fix it, but they never materialised.

And then they made Dia. Dia could have been an extension/add-on for browsers.

$600M+ for BCNY is wild, though. Atlassian obviously has money to burn…

[email protected] for the HL2 release, it was probably more of a challenge given how young Steam was at the time.

Not Lemmy, but nodeBB. :)

I can’t remember the last time that Steam went down due to a game release. Maybe it was coincidental if they were having issues, but it would be a first.
