Good morning sir/ma'am I'm here to tell you about our Lord and Savior Linus Torvalds. He sacrificed his wallet to bring you a free and open operating systems. We don't judge what flavor of Linux you use. As long as you agree that Linus saved us from Bill Gates who stole ancient secrets from the ruins of Xerox Parc and has since embraced the evil that is bloat ware.
Through Linux you can be saved!
They're the 3rd largest video game company and the current highest valued company (by market cap, so yeah not a perfect metric) in the world.
They became that big of a video game company by using their ridiculous amount of money to buy up a bunch of other game companies, reducing the competition but hoarding the IP. While they might not be the "only" company in town I think it is safe to say that they're doing the most buying and consolidating
Monopolies suck.
Fun game, passion projects usually have that magic that you can tell someone cared about it.
But it's very early EA, don't expect it to be done any time soon. I'm shelving it for now so when it's done I can enjoy the full experience
Yeah, well they should keep it up. If they can prove in a US court that a "website is bad" they can make the same argument in the jurisdiction the website is hosted in, the Internet is great because it's not (mostly) stuck under a single country's thumb
If it's that big a deal go after the service providers for the servers, this type of shit just makes inhibiting free speech easier.
If I don't want people using Truth Social I guess making a bunch of accounts to share torrent links would be enough to shut it down?
The MPAA still has never been able to demonstrate that privacy even has actual impacts on movie and ticket sales... When Netflix was super convenient and had a lot of content piracy went down. Turns out splitting to dozens of streaming services made it difficult enough that people just went back to sailing the high seas. So lower your prices, make it more convenient to pay for services and people will just do that instead.
Eh, it's just easier on the console. They can pick anything in the library and play online this way. Otherwise no such luck. I mean I don't usually pay full price fo gamepass anyways.
Yeah I treat gamepass like a demo to try the game sometimes. But if it's something I know I will play, I just buy it on steam. Its such a pain. Half the time the game won't launch. The only reason I keep it around is because my kids play on my Xbox sometimes
Super broad generalization, yes.
That's one of the biggest things valve has contributed to for the Linux community, unshitifying gaming on Linux. Proton does an amazingly good job at working on most games. And steam does a great job of making it easier to use proton.
Now there are always a few problem games, mainly ones that use some crazy kernel level anti-cheat (that doesn't work anyways). But if you're curious look at https://www.protondb.com/
