The feud between Zuckerberg and Cook became public in 2014, when Cook lambasted Facebook's business model.Apple CEO Tim Cook criticized Facebook's business model in 2014. AP In September 2014, Cook gave an in-depth interview with Charlie Rose that touched on a range of topics, including privacy.During the interview which took place in the weeks following the infamous leaks of multiple female celebrities' nude photos stored on their iCloud accounts Cook espoused Apple's commitment to privacy while denouncing the business models of companies like Google and Facebook."I think everyone has to ask, how do companies make their money? Follow the money," Cook said. "And if they're making money mainly by collecting gobs of personal data, I think you have a right to be worried. And you should really understand what's happening to that data."Shortly after, Cook reiterated his stance in an open letter on Apple's dedicated privacy site."A few years ago, users of Internet services began to realize that when an online service is free, you're not the customer. You're the product," Cook wrote. Cook's comments rankled Zuckerberg, who called the claims "ridiculous" and blasted Apple products as being expensive.Mark Zuckerberg responded with a critique of Apple's prices. Marcio Jose Sanchez/AP In an interview with Time later that year, Zuckerberg was reportedly visibly irritated by Cook's assertions."A frustration I have is that a lot of people increasingly seem to equate an advertising business model with somehow being out of alignment with your customers," Zuckerberg told Time's Lev Grossman. "I think it's the most ridiculous concept. What, you think because you're paying Apple that you're somehow in alignment with them? If you were in alignment with them, then they'd make their products a lot cheaper!" Their squabble came to a head following the Cambridge Analytica scandal when Cook criticized Facebook's actions.Cook has taken a shot at Facebook over its infamous Cambridge Analytica scandal. Edgar Su/Reuters In 2018, a whistleblower revealed that consulting firm Cambridge Analytica harvested user data without consent from 50 million users.During an interview with Kara Swisher and Chris Hayes in the months following, Cook was asked what he would do if he was in Zuckerberg's shoes.Cook responded: "What would I do? I wouldn't be in this situation."Cook said that Facebook should have regulated itself when it came to user data, but that "I think we're beyond that here." He also doubled down on his stance that Facebook considers its users its product."The truth is, we could make a ton of money if we monetized our customer if our customer was our product," Cook said. "We've elected not to do that." Zuckerberg hit back, calling Cook's comments "extremely glib."Zuckerberg again responded by calling Apple products expensive. Andrew Harnik/AP "You know, I find that argument, that if you're not paying that somehow we can't care about you, to be extremely glib. And not at all aligned with the truth," Zuckerberg said during an interview on The Ezra Klein Show podcast.He refuted the idea that Facebook isn't focused on serving people and once again criticized the premium Apple places on its products."I think it's important that we don't all get Stockholm Syndrome and let the companies that work hard to charge you more convince you that they actually care more about you," he said. "Because that sounds ridiculous to me." Privately, Zuckerberg was reportedly outraged by Cook's remarks so much so that he ordered his employees to switch to Android devices.Zuckerberg reportedly had management employees at Facebook switch from Apple to Android devices. Yuri Gripas/Reuters In November 2018, The New York Times published a blockbuster report detailing the fallout from the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The Times reported that Cook's comments had "infuriated" Zuckerberg, who ordered employees on his management team who used iPhones to switch to Android.Soon after the report published, Facebook wrote a blog post refuting some of the reporting by The Times but not the Zuckerberg-Cook feud."Tim Cook has consistently criticized our business model and Mark has been equally clear he disagrees. So there's been no need to employ anyone else to do this for us," Facebook wrote. "And we've long encouraged our employees and executives to use Android because it is the most popular operating system in the world." In 2019, Zuckerberg and Cook had a meeting at the annual Sun Valley retreat in Idaho that went poorly, according to The New York Times.The two reportedly had a contentious meeting at Sun Valley in 2019. MANDEL NGAN/AFP via Getty Images;Xinhua/Liu Jie via Getty Images;Insider According to The Times, Zuckerberg asked Cook for his advice following the Cambridge Analytica scandal.Cook told Zuckerberg Facebook should delete the user data his company collects from outside of its family of apps, which "stunned" Zuckerberg and was akin to Cook saying Facebook's business was "untenable,"The Times reported. In August 2020, Zuckerberg jumped in the fray as Apple faced criticism over its App Store policies.Zuckerberg has called Apple a "gatekeeper" because of its App Store. Drew Angerer/Getty Images During a company-wide meeting, Zuckerberg openly criticized Apple, saying it has a "unique stranglehold as a gatekeeper on what gets on phones," according to a report from BuzzFeed News.Zuckerberg also said that the App Store blocks innovation and competition and "allows Apple to charge monopoly rents," BuzzFeed reported.Apple has been facing antitrust scrutiny from Congress and has been strongly criticized by developers most notably "Fortnite" creator Epic Games for the 30% fee it takes from App Store purchases. In 2020, Facebook said Apple blocked an update to Facebook's iOS app that would have informed users about the fee Apple charges. Apple's iOS 14.5 software update angered Facebook, which says the privacy features could destroy part of its business.Apple's iOS 14.5 update was a sore point for Facebook. Apple That version of Apple's smartphone operating system, iOS, made it so that iPhone app developers would need permission from users to collect and track their data. While this affects any company that makes iOS apps, it also has a direct impact on Facebook's advertising business: It uses data tracking to dictate which ads are served to users.In an August 2020 blog post, Facebook said it may be forced to shut down Audience Network for iOS, a tool that personalizes ads in third-party apps."This is not a change we want to make, but unfortunately, Apple's updates to iOS 14 have forced this decision," Facebook said.The complaints from Facebook and other developers led Apple to temporarily delay the new privacy tools, saying it wanted to "give developers the time they need to make the necessary changes." Facebook escalated the feud to a full-page ad in The New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal.In the ads, Facebook argued that the changes would hurt small businesses that advertise on Facebook's platform."Without personalized ads, Facebook data shows that the average small business advertiser stands to see a cut of over 60% in their sales for every dollar they spend," the ad reads, which was posted by Twitter user Dave Stangis.Apple hit back, telling Business Insiderthat it was "standing up for our users.""Users should know when their data is being collected and shared across other apps and websites and they should have the choice to allow that or not," an Apple spokesperson said. Meanwhile, Facebook also said it would help Epic Games, the company behind "Fortnite," in its legal battle against Apple.Facebook indicated it'd support Epic Games in its legal battle against Apple. Epic Games; Getty Images Epic Games had accused Apple of violating antitrust laws and engaging in anticompetitive behavior regarding the App Store's fees and policies.Facebook said it planned to help Epic with discovery for the trial. Zuckerberg also lashed out at Apple during an earnings call in 2021, saying the company frequently interferes with how Facebook's apps work.Zuckerberg in 2021 accused Apple of making "misleading" privacy claims. Facebook When discussing Facebook's suite of messaging apps during the company's fourth-quarter earnings call, Zuckerberg made a clear dig at Apple, saying the iPhone maker made "misleading" privacy claims."Now Apple recently releasedso-called nutrition labels, which focused largely on metadata that apps collect rather than the privacy and security of people's actual messages, but iMessage stores non-end-to-end encrypted backups of your messages by default unless you disable iCloud," Zuckerberg said.Zuckerberg went on to describe Apple as "one of our biggest competitors" and said that because Apple is increasingly relying on services to fuel its business, it "has every incentive to use their dominant platform position to interfere with how our apps and other apps work, which they regularly do to preference their own.""This impacts the growth of millions of businesses around the world," he added. But Cook hasn't backed down from his view that Facebook's business model of harvesting user data and selling it to advertisers is harmful to consumers.Cook repeated his criticisms of Facebook's handling of user data. AP During a speech at the European Computers, Privacy and Data Protection Conference the same week, Cook discussed business models that prioritize user engagement and rely on user data to make money. Though he didn't mention Facebook by name, Cook made several references that alluded to the platform."At a moment of rampant disinformation and conspiracy theories juiced by algorithms, we can no longer turn a blind eye to a theory of technology that says all engagement is good engagement the longer the better and all with the goal of collecting as much data as possible," Cook said. Facebook launched another ad campaign in 2021 aimed at proving the need for personalized advertising amid its ongoing battle with Apple.Facebook took out an ad in 2021 arguing for personalized advertising. Nick Wass/Associated Press The initiative,titled "Good Ideas Deserve to be Found,"makes the case that personalized ads help Facebook users discover small businesses, particularly during the pandemic."Every business starts with an idea, and being able to share that idea through personalized ads is a game changer for small businesses," Facebook said in a blog post announcing the theme. "Limiting the use of personalized ads would take away a vital growth engine for businesses." Cook called Facebook's objections to the privacy update "flimsy arguments" during an interview with The New York Times.Cook said Facebook isn't one of Apple's biggest competitors, contrary to Zuckerberg's previous remarks on the subject. Justin Sullivan/Getty Images During a podcast interview with Kara Swisher, Cook said that he believes society is in a privacy crisis and that he's been "shocked" that there's been pushback to the new feature to this degree."We know these things are flimsy arguments," Cook told The Times. "I think that you can do digital advertising and make money from digital advertising without tracking people when they don't know they're being tracked."Cook also said he doesn't view Facebook as a competitor, contrary to what Zuckerberg has said."Oh, I think that we compete in some things," Cook said. "But no, if I may ask who our biggest competitor are, they would not be listed. We're not in the social networking business." Apple's iOS 14.5 update finally rolled out in April 2021, and Facebook paid steeply for it.Facebook says Apple's iOS 14.5 update has cost it billions of dollars. Alex Wong/Getty Images "The impact of iOS overall as a headwind on our business in 2022 is on the order of $10 billion," then-Meta CFO David Wehner estimated in an earnings call that year.In March 2024, Meta, Microsoft, X, and Match Group joined Epic Games in arguing that Apple has been flouting a 2021 court-ordered injunction that required the company to let developers show users links to alternative payment systems beyond the App Store.Meta has sided with Epic Games in the developer's legal war with Apple. Getty Images Apple, for its part, said in January 2024 that it had "fully complied" with the injunction. One of the latest battlegrounds in Apple and Meta's feud is their work on virtual and augmented reality.Now, Cook and Zuckerberg are feuding over their Apple Vision Pro and Quest headsets, respectively. Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Apple released its Vision Pro headset in February 2024, and Zuckerberg was quick to offer his critique of the competitor to Meta's Quest headsets."I have to say that before this, I expected that Quest would be the better value for most people since it's really good and like seven times less expensive, but after using [Vision Pro] I don't just think that Quest is the better value, it's the better product, period," Zuckerberg said in a video on Threads. "They have different strengths, but overall Quest is better for the vast majority of things that people use mixed reality for."Zuckerberg says many people "assumed that Vision Pro would be higher quality because it's Apple and it costs $3,000 more.""I know that some fanboys get upset whenever anyone dares to question if Apple's going to be the leader in a new category," he said. "But the reality is that every generation of computing has an open and a closed model. And yeah, in mobile, Apple's closed model won, but it's not always that way."In Meta's first quarter earnings call in April, Zuckerberg said he didn't think AR glasses would find mainstream success without "full holographic displays.""I still think that that's going to be awesome and is the long-term mature state for the product," he said. "But now, it seems pretty clear that there's also a meaningful market for fashionable AI glasses without a display."Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth has also taken shots at Apple over its Vision Pro."As soon as I put the headset on, I can see what trade-offs they made and why they made them. And, perhaps definitionally, those aren't the trade-offs I would have made," he said.Bosworth called the Vision Pro's motion blur "really distracting" and said the headset was "very uncomfortable to use." The companies also reportedly had a disagreement over a potential AI partnership.Apple shot down the idea of integrating Meta's AI chatbot into iPhones, per Bloomberg. Alex Wong via Getty Images Apple months ago rejected the possibility of integrating Meta's Llama AI chatbot into the iPhone because it doesn't consider Meta's privacy practices up to par, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported in June 2024, citing people with knowledge of the matter.Apple has sincelaunched iOS 18, which includes a partnership with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into the iPhone's software. Zuckerberg recently leveled some new insults against Apple.Zuckerberg says Apple hasn't invented anything big since the iPhone. Meta In an episode of the "Joe Rogan Experience" podcast released in January 2025, he said Apple hasn't "really invented anything great in a while" since the iPhone."It's like Steve Jobs invented the iPhone and now they're just kind of sitting on it 20 years later," he said on the podcast.Zuck added that Apple has been "squeezing people" for money with the 30% commission the company charges developers for selling paid apps through the App Store."They build stuff like Airpods, which are cool, but they've just thoroughly hamstrung the ability for anyone else to build something that can connect to the iPhone in the same way," he said.

GTA 6 is expected to be one of the biggest games of all time, and one analyst has explained just what that could mean for the industry whenever it does arriveTech16:28, 13 Jan 2025Updated 16:28, 13 Jan 2025When will we get our next glimpse at GTA 6?(Image: Still)GTA 6 is coming, although we're not sure when, and while we wait for the game's second trailer, we do at least have an idea as to when we'll hear something thanks to Take-Two (Rockstar's parent company) announcing the date of its earnings call.The game, which is expected to pull in billions of dollars when it does launch, could land in 2025 or shift to 2026, but one analyst has spoken about what its eventual release could mean for the industry even saying it 'keeps him up at night'.Here's what Mike Fischer, Professor of Interactive Media at the University of Southern California and Advisor at Krafton told Game World Observer.GTA 6 could hit its 2025 date, or it could be delayed"What actually keeps me up at night is the thought that GTA 6 is going to be so big and so successful it may suck up all of the time and all of the money of all gamers," Fischer explains."Now, Ive met peers in the industry who disagree with me and think it wont affect other genres and that you will still have your traditional racing games, sports games and fighting games, and not everyone will have their lunch eaten by GTA. Me, Im not so sure."Fischer points to Fallout 4's launch and the "blast radius" that meant Shadow of the Tomb Raider "missed some of its potential"."So whenever Rockstar ships GTA 6, there will never have been a game as big, as immersive, as incredible, as all-encompassing as GTA 6. Its an unknown territory, and Im a little concerned about what that will do for a lot of other AAA games in that space."Still, there is a positive (other than, you know, finally being able to play GTA 6), as Fischer says it'll sell hardware."For the current console generation, we havent had a super compelling game that has driven people to buy it, right? Weve had a lot of great projects, but I dont think weve had those sort of generation-defining games that would compel people to buy next-gen systems the way that Final Fantasy or Gran Turismo did for PlayStation or Gears of War for Xbox.Article continues below"When GTA 6 ships, it will be a challenging disruption. Hopefully, there will be a larger audience as a result, but its literally an unknown territory, so well just have to wait and see."With that earnings call creeping up, we don't have long to find out how challenging that disruption will be.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.RECOMMENDED

The realm of public domain horror has already answered the question What might a killer Winnie-the-Pooh look like?with similar explorations of the dark sides of Popeye, Pinocchio, Tinker Bell, and other traditionally kid-friendly characters following suit. Perhaps the most anticipated reimagining is Disney icon Mickey Mouse, whose visage came into the public domain when Steamboat Willie did in 2024and now theres a first look at his ghastly appearance in the upcoming Screamboat. Variety got the scoop on Screamboats first image depicting David Howard Thorntonbest-known as Art the Clown in the Terrifier series, one of the most exciting and memorable horror villains to come along in years, thanks in no small part to Thorntons wonderfully freakish performance. Will he bring the same flair to his twisted Mickey Mouse? His hat is certainly 1,000 times larger than the tiny chapeau Art the Clown favors According to Variety, Screamboat follows a group of New Yorkers on a late-night ferry ride that turns deadly when a mischievous mouse begins a rampage, targeting unsuspecting passengers. The unlikely crew must band together to thwart the murderous menace before their relaxing commute turns into a nightmare.Speaking to the trade, writer-director Steven LaMorte praised Thorntons performance and the effects by Quantum Creation FX, and said, Screamboat is my way of paying homage to Disney while putting a sinister, yet comedic twist on the classic.LaMorte also made 2022s Grinch horror parody The Mean One; Screamboats script is co-written by Matthew Garcia-Dunn. The cast also features Teen Wolfs Tyler Posey, Cobra Kais Jesse Kove, and Streams Allison Pittel. Screamboat had originally planned on a January 31 release; when io9 reached out earlier this month to distributors to confirm or update, we did not hear back. However, Varietys report says that the film has indeed shifted to April, with no precise date given. Want more io9 news?

El Perdido spiritual space draws inspiration from the foundational rustic chapels of the Baja California peninsula. This Ramadas initially built with natural and ephemeral materials served to carry out the first religious ceremonies in the seventeenth century. The plan of the spiritual space is oriented towards the east as a symbol of communion between the different beliefs of the ancient traditional civilizations. Having the historical missions of the Baja California peninsula in the background, El Perdido spiritual space mediates between the exterior and the interior patio, bringing together inmates and the community. Analogically with the religious spaces of the missions that mediated between the exterior and the cloister, the spiritual space is part of the perimeter wall and the most public space of the complex.Save this picture!Save this picture!The space can extend its capacity towards the internal courtyard where spiritual and social events can occur. This is achieved by opening the tall doors that are part of the translucent facade and connect with the interior of the patio that houses a fountain and 4 mediterranean date palms as its main elements. Date palms were introduced by the missionary priests and dates are a symbol of the fruit of subsistence in the desert. The spiritual space was built with natural and endemic materials such as vara de arco, palm thatched roof, wood and rammed earth walls from the site. Thanks to its material qualities, the interior has the ability to contain and release its own space at the same time, charging it with great spiritual strength and at the same time providing it with natural and permanent cross ventilation through its faade that filters sunlight and ventilates permanently.Save this picture!Save this picture!From the outside, the spiritual space does not reveal its program and acts as the main focal point of the entrance of the complex.

Researchers from the University of Glasgow unveiled a 3D printer that can create material in microgravity, which could improve space flight and may also help create better resources to use back on Earth.The patent for this new technology has been awarded to Gilles Bailet from the University of Glasgows James Watt School of Engineering. This printer could help improve communication transmissions back to Earth and eventually help create purer forms of essential pharmaceuticals.Weve tested the technology extensively in the lab and now in microgravity, and were confident that its ready to perform as expected, opening up the possibility of 3D printing antenna and other spacecraft parts in space, said Baliet in a press release.Printing and Defying GravityBailet and his team spent several years perfecting a prototype for this new kind of 3D printer. One of the biggest challenges was preventing the materials from jamming in the printer while in microgravity or the vacuum of space.However, what works well here on Earth is often less robust in the vacuum of space, and 3D printing has never been done outside of the pressurized modules of the International Space Station," said Bailet in a press release.The filaments in conventional 3D printers often break or jam in microgravity and in vacuum, which is a problem that needs to be solved before they can be reliably used in space. Through this research, we now have technology that brings us much closer to being able to do that, providing positive impacts for the whole world in the years to come.To solve the jamming problem, Bailet and the research team switched out the traditional filaments used in 3D printers for granular material designed by the team. These granules are quickly and reliably drawn to the printers feedstock tank and then to the nozzle.Baliets 3D printer underwent rigorous testing on an aircraft during the European Space Agency parabolic flight campaign. The craft has been dubbed the vomit comet as it creates a 22-second span of near-zero gravity by making quick accents and then sharp descents.Benefits of 3D Printing in SpaceWith a working microgravity 3D printer, the research team hopes that it can be used on space missions to create equipment that would otherwise have had to be loaded onto the spacecraft, taking up valuable room and adding extra weight. The added equipment may lead to an unsafe flight or become damaged during takeoff.Currently, everything that goes into Earths orbit is built on the surface and sent into space on rockets," said Baliet in a press release. They have tightly limited mass and volumes and can shake themselves to pieces during launch when mechanical constraints are breached, destroying expensive cargo in the process.If, instead, we could place fabricators in space to build structures on demand, we would be freed from those payload restrictions. In turn, that could pave the way to creating much more ambitious, less resource-intensive projects, with systems actually optimized for their mission and not for the constraints of rocket launches, said Baliet.Another benefit of 3D printing in space is that its relatively cost-effective compared to manufacturing the materials on Earth and then sending them to space.Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is capable of producing remarkably complex materials quickly and at low cost. Putting that technology in space and printing what we need for assembly in orbit would be fantastically useful, Baliet said in a press release.3D printers could create communications antennae and solar reflectors to assist in zero-emission communication back on Earth.The Future of Space PrintingBesides printing materials to assist in space missions, Baliet hopes that these printers can be used to create materials and substances for people on Earth.According to NASA, things like crystals grow better in microgravity because there is less convection or heat transfer during the growing process. The results are usually larger and purer crystals. Similarly, microgravity makes it easier to manufacture certain pharmaceutics in space, as they are a more potent and pure form.Crystals grown in space are often larger and more well-ordered than those made on Earth, so orbital chemical factories could produce new or improved drugs for delivery back to the surface, said Baliet in a press release.Article SourcesOur writers at Discovermagazine.com use peer-reviewed studies and high-quality sources for our articles, and our editors review for scientific accuracy and editorial standards.

Do you have an old set of non-stick cookware sitting in your kitchen right now? If so, its probably time to replace it. Right now, you can get this 24-piece Carote cookware set for just $99, which is half-off of its regular $199 price tag. Were fans of this kit because of how versatile it is. The handles on the pans are removable, so theyre easy to wash and make oven-to-stove transitions super easy. There are currently four colors in-stock, but some colors sold out last time they hit this price (their lowest price ever), so dont sleep on the colorway you want.Carote This kit includes three frying pans, two sauce pants, a six-inch mini pan, utensils, pan protectors, pan stands, storage covers, and removable handles. The removable handles are particularly interesting since they make the pans so versatile. The pans themselves are safe for stoves, ovens, and even grills. Once theyre in place, remove the handles and set them aside. Once you need to move the pants, the handles reattach quickly and securely so you dont have to worry about burning yourself on a hot handle. The set comes in four colors: gray, brown (though its a pretty light brown), peach, and pink. If youre concerned about the non-stick status, Carote claims these pans are cadmium-free, PFOA-free, PFOS-free, and lead-free. This is a great deal if your pans are old deteriorating or youre looking for something to just get started. More kitchen deals

Dynasty Warriors: Origins, similar to its predecessors, is set during the fall of the Han Dynasty in China. Featuring a semi-linear campaign where you play as an original character, the Wanderer, you must partake in dozens of battles to bring about a new age. Still, you might be wondering just how many hours you need to spend to get all the way to the conclusion. Here's our guide on how long it takes to beat Dynasty Warriors: Origins. Likewise, please be reminded that this article contains minor spoilers.How long to beat Dynasty Warriors: Origins - Campaign length and mission list guideGenerally speaking, it should take roughly 25 to 30 hours to beat Dynasty Warriors: Origins. This assumes that you're playing on Wayfarer (i.e. Normal) difficulty and you're just focusing on main missions. Do take note, however, that missions have a suggested level requirement. As such, you still need to tackle side objectives to boost your character's capabilities.Those who want to do the main missions and a bit of side content can expect around 30 to 35 hours of playtime. This includes completing a few skirmishes to increase your level, tackling the Shards of the Past side quest to unlock secret skills, and undertaking more battles in Chapter 3 before you make a pivotal decision (more on this later).Lastly, completionists will be glad to know that it would take over 60 hours to unlock everything in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. This is because of the game's Story Replay function, Old Coins rewards, Altered Fates, and Ultimate Warrior challenges. Campaign progression and mission list for Chapters 1 and 2If you're trying to complete Dynasty Warriors: Origins, then it might seem like it has a linear campaign at a glance. This is primarily due to how Chapters 1 and 2 are structured. Early in the campaign, the Wanderer roams around partaking in battles as part of various volunteer and regional forces.Prologue and Chapter 1 battles:First BattleTest of Zhang FeiBattle of GuangyangBattle of YingchuanBattle of Wan CastleBattle of GuangzongFinal Battle Against the Yellow Turbans and Zhang Jiao boss fightChapter 2 battles:Suppression of You ProvinceSuppression of Liang ProvinceSuppression of Jing ProvinceSubjugation of the White Wave BanditsProtection of Wang YunRebellion of the Ten AttendantsAssassination of Dong ZhuoBattle of Sishui GateBattle of Hulao Gate Campaign progression and major decisions in Chapter 3Then, come Chapter 3, you need to make a few pivotal decisions. We discuss these in detail in our Chapter 3: Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or Sun Jian guide, but here are some tidbits:You need to complete a certain number of battles for the three main clans/factions: Cao, Liu, and Sun. Advancing past a certain point while below this threshold prevents you from joining that faction permanently later on.There are also some moments when you have to choose between two sides, such as the Battle of Xu Province (Cao Cao vs. Liu Bei and Tao Qian).In the interlude between Chapters 3 and 4, you have to pick between the last remaining options. The Wanderer will be part of that faction for the remaining missions up to the game's conclusion.In our initial playthrough, we opted to prioritize the Sun family for the most part, while also tackling missions for Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Then, when we got the Xu Province prompt, we sided with Cao Cao.Later, when we had to choose between Cao Cao and Sun Jian, we decided to stick with the Sun family. Finally, when we finished the campaign, we opted to replay a branching path to try a few of Cao Cao's battles.
