They already host their own, XBL and PSN. They don’t want any hassle outside of that. I doubt anyone shared anything to Twitter from consoles anyway.

Is it illegal if the creator is saying they’re ok with you getting it for free?

Why doesn’t he just put the game up for free as an option then?

Does it count as tracking though? What private or personal data is it? I’d also say that it’s at the very least grey area since all they’re doing is trying to prevent people from using their service in unintended ways, ie without ads.

Their obvious solution to this is make you consent to it or you can’t use YouTube.

Edge wasn’t always chromium. It was their own engine and it was great, but too many people complained essentially that it wasn’t chromium so they switched to chromium.

it’s trying to provide a Reddit-like experience for people who miss it.

Ads and all 🤣

God forbid you have to pay for stuff.

But reddit asking to be paid for use of their API was the end of the world for these devs lol

Liiiiiitle bit of an outrage attempting title.

The API is being added, it’s optional for developers, and the person that is quoted in the article even says that it’s not really going to be used for that.

Also there’s never been anything stopping developers from making their games “always online” to begin with, so this changes nothing.

This is like saying steam requires always online simply because an api exists for online checking drm.

Yep, and when netflix took off piracy took a dive because of how good it was. Then every studio decided they wanted their piece of the streaming pie so pulled all their content off netflix and released their own streaming service, so now we’re basically back to having to pay $100 a month to get access to everything, just like we were with cable before netflix changed the game. Shockingly, piracy has shot up again.

These companies are so stupid and greedy.

The only games I’ll pirate are ones that are no longer available to buy, because what else am I supposed to do?

I’ve been using it since day 1 and the difference is barely noticeable. Doesn’t seem to use noticeably less RAM, doesn’t seem to be any faster.

What is noticeable is the missing stuff. No avatars, background blur etc doesn’t work in videos, third party api support isn’t there so my stream deck doesn’t work with it.

I had high hopes for it but it’s a disappointment so far.
