  • The idea is that it gives moderate republicans a path to voting for her.

    Without the endorsements, they would feel like they’re betraying their principles and their party to vote D. With them, they can make a choice: Lots of rank and file voters will stick with Trump, but if a few party leaders, recently respected within the party, can vote for Harris, maybe that isn’t such a betrayal after all.

    Will it change the vote by 5-10%? Basically zero chance of that. But if it swings a few thousand voters in some strategic areas, it can make a difference. It’s not a strategy aimed at very many people, but those votes on the margins matter.




  • They do point out that they will be monitoring how it’s used, and could adjust things later.

    Sounds like corporate-speak for “if people abuse this, we’ll lock it down harder.”

    Even if people are using it to share with actual family around the country, they may get caught up in future updates that remove that feature. Also note that any publisher can opt out of the sharing. If EA or Ubi or some other big company doesn’t like the lack of limits, they may be able to force Valve’s hand in changing the policy.

    The idea is wonderful, but there are a ton sof ways this could end up worse than the old system.
