You do realize those are usually exclusive for only a year, right? So EGS pays them out for a year of exclusivity and then the devs are free to launch on steam and others.
The thing is, often if they don’t get that first infusion of cash from a deal with EGS (or another investor) they don’t get to complete or even launch the game at all. So it never would make it to the other markets.
Pretty sure folks are referring to streaming sites meaning like Netflix. The person you are responding to said “click and go” referring to services like YouTube and Hulu not sketchy “streaming” sites like what you are describing that require some hoops to go through to make sure.you don’t download a virus.
They tried to stand impartial (my most generous interpretation of reddits in-action towards the donald) and it really fucked them.
It’s so weird how many platforms cater to harmful rhetoric in an effort to stay neutral only for them to later ban the community after the damage has been done.
If I were more conspiratorial I’d suggest the Donald survived for as long as it did on purpose and with the explicit support of the reddit admins/execs…
Could you elaborate on which? I’ve seen a lot of sketchy reviews recently
Fastmail supports aliases as well. I’m not sure how they are from a privacy side overall tho
The feline investigation bureau?
I mean the game came out in 2012. It’s not really that absurd to base ones licensing contracts for 14 years when the medium (games) generate the vast majority of their revenue in the first months.
Most digital products have an end of life. I agree that the whole digital ownership part isn’t fair, but I don’t think a 14 year selling window due to licensing is the part to be mad at.
I think you are misinterpreting the arrows. Pixel dungeon is the original game with SPD being the preferred fork
The arrows aren’t PD > (greater than) SPD
But rather PD -> (turned into) SPD
That’s kind of hilarious since 20 years ago, western gamers were rejecting games for being “too anime.”
Today too! I’m still not really interested in the anime art style. I’m glad the enjoyers do have lots to choose from though.
Fastmail also offers this.
Curious to know how many others do as well.
I’ve jumped in a few times since they started letting people play years ago! I’m a big fan and am eager to give 1.0 a whirl.
I like how they are embracing the solo vs trading play style and leaning into rewarding both types of players uniquely with power for that choice.
Arpgs like Diablo or pathofexile are my “will always play” games. Like you I’ve played the mmos, shooters, and others and feel like I’ve “finished” those genres and am satisfied not going back unless with friends.
It’s both a nice feeling but also a sad one. I still follow fps games and watch videos of them, but playing them… Meh
But this is true for literally anything that requires email verification to login with?
I think msft is scummy here but let’s not pretend it’s unusual that a company isn’t going to help you if you can’t access your email to verify your ownership.
If I lose access to my Gmail account and am unable to login to Amazon bc of that Amazon ain’t going to help me.
I think battle.net did this for a long time. I am probably misremembering but gosh whatever service I experienced it with was annoying
Accessibility features are for people. Full stop.
only see them half the year is a normal reaction
Being pedantic here, but most custody arrangements are like this anyway.
Obviously, half the parents being overseas makes that significantly harder and probably untenable for most.
Why do I/ society need to detox because you have attention problems? How does your similar-to-adhd affect me? How does my phone usage affect you?
Sounds like you are the one who needs to detox… but those are your words not mine.
Idc if you need six different stimuli to function, it doesn't affect me. If it affects you, you should change you
Today I learned! Thanks for the info :)
Yep, it's got both visits recorded. Idk why my ip on mobile networks was geolocated so far away.
Fwiw they’re just collecting a paycheck. Sure it’s scummy for them to not reject the businesses offering them the money but tbh I really don’t blame them - I’d probably take the cash too.
Depending on the channel size sponsored ad reads can deliver upwards of multiple thousand per video for the creator. If you see multiple channels with the same ads, it’s bc the company advertising got a big budget approved, that’s it.
Imo just skip the ad reads (or get sponsorblock) and forget they exist. Usually the creator doesn’t even give a fuck who’s paying them or why. They are victims of the system too, not maliciously peddling garbage. I do wish they didn’t have to peddle anything, but here we are.
