    Personally I’ve tried, amongst others, transcendental meditation and a form of movement meditation, combined with yoga. Both did absolutely nothing for my day-to-day focus. The only thing which actually did something for my concentration (unfortunately) was medication.

    You come across quite hostile, but so far your argument isn’t backed up by any scientific evidence, it’s just ‘meditation is meant to help concentration, so it also should help ADHD’. That’s a gross oversimplification of a very complex neurological process.

    It’s great that you are trying to help, but from your comments I get the feeling that you have trouble accepting that meditation just isn’t a solution or useful tool for all of us.

    Please have a more open mind towards the people who are trying to tell you that meditation doesn’t work for them. We are all built differently, what works for one doesn’t necessarily works for another.














  • I’m fully aware, and I don’t even blame developers, especially indies, as I can completely understand their reasoning and commercial consideration. But from a user perspective I just see a store trying to buy market share and either forcing customers to wait a year or cave and use that store. Epic doesn’t fork over money to help developers, it does so to grab a piece of the pie and create value for shareholders.

    Personally I prefer not buying or using platforms from companies whose policies I don’t agree with. I avoid Amazon for that reason, and Epic’s store is therefore also on my personal blacklist.

    It’s a choice I’m allowed and willing to make. Of course you are free to disagree and by all means, do whatever you feel is right.


  • Ubisoft pulled something like that with Anno 1800. If you pre-ordered it on Steam it was possible to install and play it, as it was only delisted but not removed entirely. Buying the DLC was a bit of a pain as you couldn’t search Steam for it, you had to dig up the direct Steam Store link from one of the official posts on the Ubi forum. It wasn’t ideal, but at least they had the sense to make everything available immediately on Steam for those that already bought the game there.
