I don't mind fulfilled by Amazon. I'm selective, but there's still value there.

If I could permanently remove everything that isn't in an Amazon warehouse from showing up in search results the platform would be way less annoying, though. De-emphasizing that nonsense is a huge value add as far as I'm concerned.

Board chairman Donald Parker said the move to end broadcasts was more to address the question of whether $8,000 spent on the taping was worth the low viewership than it was a transparency issue.

How the fuck are you spending that much? Just get a shitty camera pointed at the stage or whatever with one shitty mic and a shitty camera/mic pointed at wherever you have citizens comment, plug it into a shitty laptop, and send to YouTube.

No one needs 4K with professionally mastered audio.

The first one is a decent game.

But it also went to $20 extremely fast. Pretty much by itself, that takes the pressure off of rushing to buy it.

Throw a couple Apple shares in a college fund for me.

Seems like an overstated title when the content is "government employees" like it is 99% of the rest of the time this headline gets written.

The PS5 controllers' are amazing.

Everything else (or games that don't use them) feels like shit after. So I get this request.

No.

Solving the same problem isn't what plagiarism is.

And the problems are similar at best.

The article says mods disable it unless you add an extra mod to re-enable them.

That's really all the explanation you need to throw out the usefulness of the numbers completely.

Not much? I eyeball it as about 1/4 of the games being in the last two years. That seems pretty reasonable to me.

If an actual majority were brand new games it would just tell you that PC gamers (or at least steam deck) are just chasing novelty over quality. It's OK not to play every brand new game right on release, and it's OK to play older games.

Yeah, if you were ever unsure where wired stands as a reputable organization, here's all the evidence you need.

described by Owlcat as "an industry standard tracking solution" that "allows developers and publishers to understand which part of players have purchased the game due to the impact of their advertising campaigns".

Yeah, fuck right off.

If you're collecting literally just gameplay data without people opting in that's already a breach of the user's privacy. Fingerprinting to connect them with ads is disgusting.

Yep. It kills me, but I won't do it. It otherwise is a nice little piece of tech, but the price of dealing with Facebook is a lot bigger deal to me than the price tag in cash.
