I've been lurking on the Zulip for a while but you're right it's about time I sign up!

Wiener, wiener wiener, wiener wiener...

Ah, too bad. I tried it briefly a few years ago, but ended up playing the GOG original version

Can't forget how polygon trashed Witcher 3 at launch with bad score because of "sexism and misogyny"

It is absolutely depression porn.

he's been on the warpath against anyone to the left of shit just works

Yes, you said that already. And I said that goes both ways. Great stories, writing and directing can't fix bad acting. Great films require all participants to be on their best performance.

Yeah, I saw. Really good! Also saw that F-Droid should be soon, and that sign ups have spiked. The content on there has already improved slighly in the last handful of days. There's hope for it!

Thank you, I appreciate that, is rare in The Internet. We need to be exchanging with each other, more often. Even if we disagree, That is the way I think, outside the box & anti-Capitalism, now that we are moving to Feudalism, have to say, & anti-Capitalism & anti-Feudalism.

This is it, but it's been long enough it's likely worth repeating the exercise: https://lemmy.world/post/19056210

Lol! For other readers: Einstein expanded Newton's findings. Classical vs quantum physics.

Other way around. The theatrical release was "Edge of Tomorrow" with "Live, die, repeat" as the tagline. The tagline was more recognizable than the title, so the titled the home release after the tagline. The sequel, if it ever makes it out of development hell, is just going straight for the home release title as "Live Die Repeat and Repeat."

I wasnt saying that the terms said that just that them aaying it would be an example of my point.

Yeah, I eventually found a Wikipedia page about Amazon Game Studios, they still exist and make games, and it looks like they only make mediocre stuff even when they have chances to make something interesting (like King of Meat, that seems to be a well received game, but has awful name, is too pricey, and is almost unknown, making the online too small)

ZeroSpace is to Starcraft the same way Tempest Rising is to Command & Conquer.

Because it is the easiest way to save monney

Ba Ri Du Na Si Ma Net!...

Yeah and after all that you only get $20 million

Like siempastrophe, I was not blessed with belief. I remember finding out that the adults at the church really believed the stories they were telling were true, when I was 5 or so. I wouldn't say I am Atheist, with a capital A, either. No way to disprove, and the simple fact of physical existence is so mind-blowing, the universe existing at all, consciousness, time. But no I can't believe enough to believe in any particular religion as true.

Okay, you seem to be missing the point. It isn't about the effect on you but the effect on the industry as a whole. That's why they are similar. Amazon and Airbnb both dominate the market. They both have a better product than their competitors. Exactly like steam, they abuse their position and have a long term negative impact on their respective scenes. The article above is literally about how hard the gaming industry is having it. You would have a good product in any case, because the lion's share of the money being made isn't going to making steam better but going to filthy rich people like Gaben. They have like 100 employees (the financial Times estimates they made about 11 million per employee in 2021), steam probably only needs to charge less then 1% to cover it's current expenses and salaries. All that money is being taken from devs (less games for us, more bankrupt studios) and being given to the top dogs (Gaben to buy boats). I don't think there's much more to say. You seem to be really enthusiastic about supporting a billionaire's money extraction machine and can't understand that the effects of a company go further than your enjoyment of their product. You are defending the boot because it's fluffy and soft. https://archive.ph/dmHDP (FT article)
