Because they are a company and a board of ethical leaders to ensure it doesn’t turn to shit is no guarantee it doesn’t turn to shit. BlueSky is something a corporate mindset person creates because that’s the only thing they know. Have a problem to solve? Needs company + board.
1300$ in 17 years. Around 1200 games. I think I probably spent more elsewhere and got steam keys. I still have a physical copy of portal 2, which was cheaper at release than on steam and had a key inside haha. Good times.
I gotta say, first time I heard of Concord, was two days after release. The headline which introduced me to Concord was “Concord only has X active players”. At least I’m hearing about Marathon before it comes out.
I get it and yeah, it does sound like you have other things to worry about. Not everyone does though. Most people who are hurt by the pricing of a video game console are probably in a better position where their more basic needs are already met.
And if you go to Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Congo, people are worried about losing limbs, life and actual stage 1 Maslow survival. They probably envy your problems right now. They keep focused on shit that actually matters, like not dying.
Yeah, people care about different things related to their circumstances. That’s life.
I haven’t used PHP in a while (10+years) but I didn’t think it was that frustrating as its reputation seems to imply today. I remember their docs all had examples and I found that pretty useful.
50 eur, second increase in its lifespan. 1st increase was 50 eur as well.
That’s how crocodile hunters are baptized.
Can’t they just follow the trends and write short interesting pieces of the game-du-jour? Cant the content we see coming from streamers, tiktokers and youtubers be matched by professional media publishers?
I’d love the archived version to use the actual view the user sees. For content that is locked behind a login, the client apps (or browser extension) could send the final document to LinkWarden to store. It would also get rid of cookie warnings the user has already accepted. In these cases, archive.org preservation would be disabled for privacy reasons. In terms of UI changes, a checkbox indicating such would probably be enough.
Business to business is different than the consumer market. Nintendo comes to Nvidia and orders a custom product with a minimum order of 10 million chips, Nvidia wants that deal. They aren’t going to arbitrarily increase the price because they can because Nintendo can and will move to another vendor. Nvidia wouldn’t risk fucking up a long-standing relationship like that, especially since Nintendo is a repeat customer, and they can rely on repeat business from them each year. These are long standing relationships that don’t just fall apart that quickly unless one party wants to drastically change what they are doing.
Looks like he had fun :) Should have suited up but whatchugonnado… in the next life.
Freelancer. No need for any remastered nonsense, just patched to work on modern systems.
AvP2, same deal.
Id actually like to try the mess of a SimCity game EA put out in 2013, for some reason it’s still not on steam.
So marketing? What’s the problem here? Should they have spent it advertising on radio?
My first thought exactly. To do so, we must bend space itself? We’d need a wormhole.
We no longer own our products.
This is a popular saying but its not as clear cut. You have choice. You can own the products you use or buy. So why don’t you?
Yes, the software we used yesterday is no longer a one time purchase today. However, you still own the software you bought yesterday and you have choice to buy new software which you will own or you can subscribe to a service providing the updated version of the new software. Example:
I can still use a purchased copy of Adobe Lightoom from 2010.
I can buy a new license for Affinity Photo today and use it forever.
I can pay to use Lightroom as a service.
Imo, the only price you pay is the trek you take into unfamiliarity brought on by using new software.
Its too bad that some people seem to not comprehend all chatgpt is doing is word prediction. All it knows is which next word fits best based on the words before it. To call it AI is an insult to AI… we used to call OCR AI, now we know better.
I don’t get why they needed a 14 day limit. Sounds half baked to me. Steam, although with its own limitations, still does a better job at game sharing.
The children are safe.
Did a personal data export for chatGPT and it included the complete conversation, not just my input.
