The best thing about steam is you can buy keys from other sites

The worst thing about those sites is in most cases it results in the developer being ripped off because the keys are either stolen or purchased using stolen credit cards.

Countless devs have said they would rather people pirate their games than buy keys from those sites

honestly, would rather use a linux ~ libreelec/es based device

android is just wasted overhead when it comes to emulation

Huawei and Honor can both survive purely on domestic sales before you even worry about ROW.

No idea why you think there are only three brands, or why you think the US is the only market that matters (it’s fairly obvious you are US based)

Spotify has one of the highest quality services

spotify is a great service for spotify

spotify is a great service for the consumer

spotify is a godawful exploitive pile of manure for artists

Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted

One of my favourite books, High Fidelity. I think I am in the age range and demo it was written for, so much rings true. When I heard there was a film coming out I was so excited, and then I read it was being moved from London and re-set in Chicago, and my heart sank.

Boy was I wrong. John Cusack was great, Todd Louiso was histerical, and it was Jack Black’s breakout performance. (I honestly am not sure he has been funnier since)

And the Chicago setting 100% worked, better than London would have

without even a FPS boost to 60fps? For £50

nah, thats not ok. by any stretch.

Especially when the PS3 version was (as far as I recall) available streamed on PS+ Premium tier/PS Now

Switch Users - This is amazing, will be able to play Red Dead Redemption on the go

PS5 Users - a 10 year old game, with no fps boost, no graphics boost, for £50? **** Off R*

TIL that you could game on a Mac

Survivor was a massive disappointment for me. It was the game I bought with my PS5, and ended up quitting halfway through because of the bounty hunter bug.

Waited a month for that to be fixed, fired it up to continue, holomap completely vanished.

So it’s back on the backlog again. Thank God the other game I bought with my PS5 (rift apart) was just great.

That’s before we get into the navigation somehow being worse than fallen order. No minimap, no compass, and maps that are nigh on impossible to follow

Honestly I would be fine with EA never releasing another star wars game.

I am looking forward to the Ubi one though

you aren’t paying for volume of content available, that would only make sense if you were subscribing directly to reddit or lemmy as you would with netflix, disney etc

revenue goes to the app dev, and sync for lemmy and sync for reddit have i would presume, identical development and maintenance costs.

your logic is like saying that fuel should be cheaper for a 1.4l mini than it is for a ferrari

That said, I do think £18.99 lifetime just to remove ads is a bit extreme, its certainly not affordable for me. That’s more than a year of Ultra without the extra features. I think sweetspot for “pro” edition that has no ads certainly would have been sub £10, especially when im gonna be a large volume of users have dns that removes ads anyway and really the “pro” is just a “one time donation” kinda thing

i presume they mean inline v offset analog sticks

Or even better, it forces a banana suit on you, so you can carry on playing but everyone knows who you are.

exactly this, they can control what is on it, give their journalists, shows, etc accounts and it being a self contained hub for everything bbc, while interacting with rest of the fediverse.

Im guessing they will also get more statistics and information from hosting it themselves as well. its a no brainer.

yup.

I’m on several linux channels, and im a mod on a fairly busy mental and physical health support site.

(the latter also has a web interface so 95% of the young un’s dont even realise they are on IRC)

Im on IRC daily

exactly this.

The first rule of Fight Club…

There’s a few providers who have lasted the course, some as long as ten years, but they don’t have superiptv.xyz websites, they don’t have facebook groups, or twitter accounts. They rely on word of mouth and handle their business on telegram/discord etc

The other 30% are the COD players currently missing somewhere in Ukraine
