Explanation:

• Subjective language expresses personal opinions, feelings, or judgments. Words like "revolutionizing," "exciting," "impressive," and "vision" are subjective as they reflect the author's opinion.
• Objective language presents facts without personal bias. Here, the text is not just presenting facts (like profit numbers over quarters) but also using words that show the author's positive view (subjective). For example, "revolutionizing the gaming industry" is a subjective assessment of the software magnate's impact.

Answer:

This article uses subjective language that expresses the author’s opinion on the subject.
