Yeh, I'll wait until the bugs are ironed out and my distro (mint) determines it's stable. No need to start asking for troubles when everything is working smoothly.
Walled garden platforms doing what walled garden platforms do I suppose...
Exactly. Steam figured this out early on and it's how they have maintained their dominance in the game distribution business. It's the same lessons the entertainment streaming platforms must learn - your value is convenience. Add more walls between consumers and content? you will be cast aside.
It's taken longer than I expected, but more and more people are realising streaming services as a model are not good, by any measure.
They cost more in the long run, you are made powerless as a consumer (perpetually increasing costs and removing your favourite content), and you can't even get 'everything at the convenience of your fingertips' cause the market is fragmented and they remove things periodically. You own nothing and pay more. Absolutely stupid model that deserves to die.
Walled-gardens are fundamentally bad for communication. Discord is not a solution, it’s a problem.
It’s just so bland and formulaic. Against deep RPGs like BG3, it just pales in comparison.
Ahh yes, the same PM who has a list of 5 directly contradictory statements as his so-called ‘plan’, that one right?
Systemic problems require systemic solutions. Enough of this cop-out environmental policy of shifting blame to consumers, we need to put the onus on producers and importers.
I don't understand why some users really want a native app? A webapp is better in almost everyway. You don't need to build and maintain multiple pieces of software, it just works across multiple devices and configurations. You don't have to install and give permissions to yet another piece of software on your device, creating yet another vulnerability. It's like asking for betamax when DVDs exist. What's a benefit of doing so, just that in comes up in the app store when searching?
A failure to properly regulate the import of yank tanks. Stop letter them in, simple.
Greedy capitalists believe line must always go up. They will sacrifice every moral principle to their invisible hand god.
There's no better ad for piracy than the greed of corporations. Don't let ads shit in your head. They disrespect you, you disrespect them.
