Now the question is: Will this have the lifespan closer to Stadia, or Google+
Kyyrypyy@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Ubisoft started showing ads in gamesEnglish6·2 years agoWell, if you avoid the games with ads, it reflects poorly on profits, and maybe someone might mention to the shareholders that the reason people won’t play their game is the invasive ads.
The reason why they still have their poopy launcher is that people adapted them, because tolerating the launcher was the requirement for them to (legally) play their games. Putting games behind a launcher did not teduce the profits enough to not continue doing so.
So yes, the way to combat this is to avoid their games thst implement ads.
Kyyrypyy@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Which of the Fediverse projects are worth getting into?English15·2 years agoThere is also “Owncast”, but it seems to suffer from the same issue that peertube does; there is no integrated revenue system for the streamer, so there is little reason to put effort in to the quality, as well as it being fairly unknown, so even if you set up donos etc. the audience isn’t there.
The discoverability don’t help, since there isn’t really s good way to filter out all the “24/7 radio” -streams, so even if you actively follow the frontpage, or a category, you have to skim trough them manually. Also, there is no proper language filter (at least if you don’t have an account), and it seems it’s more popular with non-english speaking streamers.
Kyyrypyy@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•'PC Gamer' Celebrated 30 Years of Video Game History Without Naming a Single WomanEnglish907·2 years agoConsidering that the term “computer engineering” was created by a woman, programming is based on maths solved by a woman, and the push for graphics in adventure games was started by a woman, I don’t think PC Gamers list is worth even checking, as I know that many notable leaps in gaming I don’t know about have since been pushed by women.
Kyyrypyy@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•'Today is the end of Steam': Argentina and Turkey floored by new Steam price hikes as high as 2900%English7·2 years agoConsidering that Steam now requires for manual input for the prices for different regions, is there a tool that a) lists these regions and b) calculates the median suggested pricing for these regions in comparison to the region you (the developer) is based in?
I know an excel sheet would probably be a good start, but considering that therevare also developers in regions other than EU (€) and US ($), it would be a tremendous help to be able to input a price you have in mind, in your own currency, and have the prices calculated in other currencies in the respective regions.
Kyyrypyy@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Sonic the Hedgehog helped revive 63-year-old Sega. The firm wants a repeat with its other classicsEnglish2·2 years agoI’d put the Kung Fury -crew on that, but considering the size of Sega, they probably want something family friendly and sanitized, so I wouldn’t hold my breath.
I guess someone atr the cable, or something.
Kyyrypyy@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•I Wanna Maker has released on SteamEnglish31·2 years agoThe funny thing is that as far as I know, the majority of the “I wanna be…” -games are made with a software called “Click & Create”, which is basically a “no programming needed” visual game editor.
Sure, it had it’s quirks, but it’s a super simple editor. Also. Although the current version of the editor is “Multimedia fusion”, as far as I know.
Kyyrypyy@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Linux thinks "linux" is not a wordEnglish141·2 years agoI thing you might be on a verge of summoning a dyslexic cat with your postscripts.
I would so much like to love peertube, but I have yet to find any instance that hosts the trash reevant to my interests. Mostly they either are filled with reuploads from YouTube, or are full of radicalized conspiracy theories (which I encounter very rarely on any other form of fediverse).
And then there is the “dumploads”, which makes the instances seem like they only have one active contributor, as they dump like 60 videos right after another, resulting the frontpages to have just one note content. This, however, could be gixed by otion to group conecutive uploads as “[latest video] and [n] other videos from [user]”, which would help to find more diverse content, as well as discourage dumping.
Then again, that is only my opinion, and if PeerTube is fine for others, who am I to complain. It just doesn’t seem to be for me :/
