Yeah unlike other big companies, Valve still has some trust to rely on. Let’s wait for what they’re saying and doing first.
Also, the quickest path to success will always be to reignin the payment processors. Which should be a no-brainer anyway; they should have no influence on content decisions.
Honestly I’m really happy with how itch.io is handling it. Making sure they still get their money, but quickly reintroducing the games, and telling us the exact reason why they had to disable those games in the first place. Great management.
Yeah they did look kinda cool, but I’m staying cautious for now, especially as long as it’s $60+.
Well the price is $80+. GAMES with higher prices tend to do poorly a lot of the time. Additionally, this is a multiplayer game, so less people buying for the high price also means lobbies might be more on the empty side, which takes away the fun. And then there is also an argument that high prices cover a lower expectation of sales. Although this one might be my naivity about causality.
They talk about the game in abstract terms, and in a way where the hype seems to be more important than the content of the game. Which to me is always a bad sign. If the game is good, why not talk about specifically what the must fun parts were for you?
And even the leak itself suggests at least one person knows the price is a bad look for the content. So that person who has insight, knows it sounds bad. I will boldly infer, that that’s because it’s not worth $80. Which makes it also very probable that it’s far less than even a “moderate” $60, I can’t believe I’m saying this because that’s still an unbelievably high sum of money for a game.
And with all these points remember, battlefield does not have the best track record, so only some of these details indicating a fishy smell will sound the alarm and make me reconsider buying. I don’t have enough trust to extend towards games published under EA, for obviously reason.
It is quite clear to me. Here is an EU initiative which is looking for input from EU citizens on digital fairness and a lot of people have already mentioned this. If you are an EU citizen I highly recommend you do the same.
Now for Canada or the US, I assume it would be piggybacking onto a similar campaign that aims to introduce legislation through lobbying with representatives. However I do not feel qualified to speak on the process given the complexity and the amount of different jurisdictions possibly at play.
These are the reasons that make me not want to consider buying the new battlefield.
Everything makes me think this one is silly
And I’m saying this as a former battlefield fan, they’ve thoroughly run the series into the ground. It’s genuinely impressive, it’s not even lucrative anymore I don’t think.
Now I really wanna know if that’s actually the best advice or sexism. Because I could see that our society might be so bad that this is genuinely good advice.
There’s also a threshold where Industry Groups will start astroturfing. Especially when it comes to worker’s rights or consumer’s rights.
I think you’re wrong.
I know on Android jellyfin in particular has a native app but also findroid, which is not world changing but good enough.
Just tried out Kodi on Android but I’m sorry, the app sucks. No native addon browsing, the keyboard is custom but incredibly small on my phone, navigation is weird, there’s no back button and my main buttons on the phone get hidden so I always have to manually show them again. The design is unappealing and for some reason it really wants access to my devices microphone.
Literally the worst one I’ve tried and I didn’t even get to the video player, which everyone says stops working every once in a while.
Wait until he pulls out a string and a white board, it’s gonna be feast.
It might take a while, but when your PC is working on it you are not and searching for words might be easier ^^
I’m excited to hear how well it works ^^

I like Linus Torvalds. Yes, sometimes he can be cruel, but that’s because he cares a lot about his projects, and managing open source software means you have to be blunt sometimes.
So you are posting in the technology community that you don’t like Linus Torvalds. This is the wrong community and you are being a real asshole. I’m here for interesting articles and not personal beef. Please keep this to yourself or to a community that allows such posts.
