If you don’t understand why someone is offended you can’t possibly explain why what you did wasn’t acceptable.

Exqueese me? I thought he was great in bg3.

When they come knocking they usually also confiscate your hardware, question and interview your friends and family, etc… Good luck with that defense :)

This is actually a huge joke on the film and television industry. Back when Napster blew up the music industry was in a full panic that their industry would die while film and TV were cozy because the media was too large to mass-pirate compared to music.

The music guys figured it out. Cheap subscriptions with massive catalogues that don’t disappear.

Movie and TV still hasn’t figured this out.

Regarding gambling, it’s not quite so simple. Valve doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Many rich people see what goes on in that ecosystem and they lobby their governments to make it easier for themselves to do even more audacious things. Valve can lead by example instead of opening the door

If you didn’t sample 4chan in that time you missed out on a lot of Internet culture. Not everyone posting on there was. It was really entertaining to watch the shitshow.

Do you think any indie developer has the means to achieve a lower cost to distribution and promotion if they try to sell and support the game themselves?

Valve solves many problems for developers and these problems aren’t imaginary and free to resolve.

Not saying 30% is justified for all games, but if you want a quality title it’s going to cost more than just development. Since the Unity debacle we’ve seen some developers even say openly that costs of promotion and support dwarf costs of development.

It’s pretty awful that people like Phil define themselves by the ruin they can inflict on society.

This seems good. Is there a preferred solution for headless Wayland desktops?

I still don’t know why people are willing to give up remoting so willingly. With X it was always easy to send your accelerated video securely over the network. Didn’t Wayland drop this? How are people remoting securely into Wayland desktops now?

Nice try, FBI.

Go watch people actually play it in twitch or steam or YouTube. See if you like it. Why wait for someone else’s opinion?

I get nervous about her discovering I’m married to someone else.

Game is good. People like to talk about stuff they like.
