Every company should do it. Have their own instance, have a main corporate account, one for each of their brands, and availability of for staff to have accounts there.

Companies complain about the lack of moderation on twitter under Musk, so do something about it.

Considering how little spotify pays out per play, it’s not really about the money.

We’re also gonna ban the Tories!

BOTTOM TEXT

Stadia’s shutdown reallly pissed me off. The problem it had was the monitisation, not the actual thing it did. Stadia worked in places with crappy wifi, like the 2.4ghz only I had at my Mam’s house, when GeForce Now, XBox Cloud and Amazon’s Luna, all shit the bed. Really well optimised, it also worked at higher quality than everything else when you actually had a good connection.

If they’d actually built out the infrastructure properly, had all the features, like being able to play a game via youtube after watching a video on it, and the quasi split screen thing, it would’ve done a lot better. It also needed a bit of time, which Google seems hesitant to actually give any of it’s projects.

They way how you capitalise the L in “lol” really bothers me. Strange person.

Shame the game is still terrible as a racing sim. Wheel controls are worse than Horizon 5s.

That is fair, Dota 2 is cosmetic only. TF2 on the other hand, is selling items with stats, mostly sidegrades rather than upgrades, but they do play into a certain kind of play, which does make it a de facto upgrade if your style of play matches the items use case.

Epic Games Store, Gog, UPlay (or whatever ubisoft’s is called), Origin/EA Downloader have all not done this and yet they’re not controlled by Gabe Newell.

Fact is that steam, no one else, started the road down the licensing and not ownership of games path we are firmly on with regards to PC.

Most PC’s don’t even have a disc drive any more, it’s all downloads.

And Gog is the only one that still allows ownership and not licensing of software.

So yeah, you do know nothing at all.

You’re still playing proprietary games on your FOSS OS. Furthermore, the vast majority of people don’t care.

If it matters to you personally, I get that. But linux gaming is personally DOA for me as it still doesn’t support my simracing hardware.

You’re simping for a shop. The PC Shop wars have managed to be even more pathetic than the console wars.

I have Steam, Epic Games Store, GoG Galaxy, Battle.net, XBox, Ubisoft and EA’s thing installed and they all miraculously work since I’m on PC and it’s not a locked down consoles. I get to play games that aren’t on steam!

Stop locking your PC down, it’s not a console.

shareholders…owners… who cares about the vernacular.

Turns out, quite a few people when those words are describing very different things.

I just hope to christ Gabe Newell’s successor(s) are in line with his actions.

This is how I know that you don’t know much at all. GabeN has changed valve from being a game developer making amazing things like Half Life and Team Fortress 2, to microtransactions and no games. A continuation of what Gabe is doing is pretty much in line with the rest of the industry, except NBA 2k4 would be the last one and it would have microtransaction DLC for the next 15 years.

No they don’t, and you can totally set up a company without shareholders. LLCs have no shareholders for instance.

You can do other things with animals too.

Why is she even still a public figure? She trashed the economy and doubled mortgages for millions. She’d do best to keep a low profile.

Crypto isn’t a currency, it’s a commodity for trading. One that doesn’t physically exist. No inherent use and no inherent value.

Relatively cheap, loads of amazing games and appeals to a lot of different people.

It’s not rocket science.

2 things that come to mind: the Maddie McCann stories get rolled out when something needs to be distracted from, so what’s the thing we’re not meant to be paying attention to this time? And secondly; The McCann’s should both be jailed for quite obvious child neglect, they were at a restaurant when this happened, and left Madeleine back at their holiday let. Seems proper fishy that nothing happens there.

It really didn’t bomb hard, it is pretty dull after you get through the main missions though.
