Well, yeah, Quake 2 RTX was a free-to-play tech demo.

Asking to be paid for your job is OK, but injecting ads in ad-free opensource service, selling user data? This is just reddit-app-moment in my opinion

Tell me you've never paid for a service, without telling me you've never paid for a service

Sync does not sell user data. It uses only the basic prerequisites for an ad service Settings shortcut: Privacy > Privacy policy

If an independent developer, who has worked on an app for 10 years, and has had their work ruined by a greedy company, turns around and makes an app for an entirely new community, within a month of losing his main source of revenue, and it's as polished, smooth, and user-friendly as can be, doesn't deserve to put food on the table, then quite simply, you're incredibly misinformed.

The developer works full time for the app, even when it was a Reddit client. If you guys can't view an ad every once in a while to support something you use daily, then delete your Lemmy account. Nobody eats for free.

It's a closed source project

[-] RecklessDwark@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 year ago

It's not planned to be subscription-only

Go for a Steam Deck, the community and software openess makes it all worth it and it'll last longer than the Ally

Valve (as a developer) has always been about pushing boundaries, not making money.

Half-Life showed you can tell a story and create a world without cutscenes

Half-Life 2 showed the power of using physics in a game engine as a gameplay mechanic

Portal showed the versatility and accessibility of puzzle games as a mainstream genre

Team-Fortess 2 showed the openess of a casual, class-based shooter

CS:GO showed the interest in a competitive shooter

HL:Alyx pushed VR to its edges in showing an interesting world and gameplay without feeling like a tech-demo

Used it since early highschool, then got really invested with the app a few years back, joined the discord and became a mod on the official Subreddit. Now I'm just head waiting for our Lord LJ to release Sync for Lemmy ๐Ÿ˜‰
