I can agree that challenging Steam is probably a good thing, but right now Steam just gives so much more value to Devs and publishers. Steam provides:
and that’s just what I can think of, not including the player specific stuff like library sharing.
Devs and publishers pay more, but get a community and ecosystem in return instead of just a platform.
Elden Ring with the Seamless Co-op mod. It’s not difficult or complicated to set up and it works extremely well
Not a lawsuit, but I agree that’s pretty nasty
Enough for something to actually end up in court? Because that’s pretty specific
Is this true? What’s the story here?
More evidence of a poorly regulated industry being detrimental to the people that work in it
Is this the same? Almost every original word is swapped out
Have tried any VR games? It’s one of the few things I still keep Windows around for
The DJ Khaled one was him just completely embarassing himself unintentionally. Funny because he’s so full of himself. Conan’s was funny, but you knew it was going to be before watching because it’s Conan
After the DJ Khaled episode I knew nothing else would be as entertaining for me so I stopped there
They’ve admitted they have a problem with getting new players so everything they do needs to somehow draw in new players. Getting their current playerbase to create and buy/sell isn’t enough of a reason to create such tools especially if they don’t think they can match the experience of the other platforms, hence the technological competition. They need to be able to provide excellent tools and an excellent way to host and share creations to draw in creatives who could become new players.
There’s little business sense to make it exclusively for the current player base. You’d be risking wringing your customers dry. It HAS to attract new players and thus new income sources. If they can’t compete, then it’s not worth the time and money to create and maintain those tools. You compete with other companies in a space purely by investing your time and money in that space because anything spent is expected to eventually turn a profit.

You and me both
While the obesity part is kind of a digression, I think they were pretty clear: protein powder is a waste if you have a typical American diet and are not exercising, which is apparently most Americans. While protein powder on its own isn’t snake oil, it effectively is for most people.
The problem really is the servers. There was a golden day or 2 just after the 3.23 patch launched and before everyone jumped on after hearing about it where things were running so well. Right now the servers are overloaded with people back to check out the big patch and new players from ILW. When the servers get full and errors start building up is when things get nasty. Their server meshing in 4.0 can’t come soon enough.
Users who don’t want redundant dependencies will probably prefer AUR packages. It can also be nice to manage all the packages with just the helper app. I try to install the binaries of apps from the AUR if they’re available to avoid the long build times.
The analog camera works great, but the motion blur scenes have a lot more grain now, at least to my eyes
How many times have you said that to a complete stranger? People generally use hyperbole with people who understand the hyperbole - the more extreme the hyperbole the more you need to trust the person would understand it. It’s the social contract
