What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Did they face significant backlash? Or is IGN just trying to "make fetch happen"? I might have just missed it.
I believe it. A friend of mine raised the price of his game from free to $2 with a big update, and still kept the download for the older version free. He got all sorts of backlash, even death threats. These people are children.
Yes they did, just read the tweets linked
Tweets do not represent significant backlash .
Edit Significant backlash would be something like getting delisted from steam
A ton of people attacking the dev on Twitter is significant backlash. An earthquake does not have to cause a Tsunami to have a big effect.
Thank you for responding, but no, I'm not going to xitter.
IMO, not even visiting is very weird. Just use a blocker and steal their revenue.
As an uninformed, I also wonder why you think IGN would make up stuff.
They (including Musk) make money off of how ubiquitous it is, even if you're not viewing ads. They leverage that daily view count.
No judgement, but if you're visiting X/Twitter, you're supporting them. As for IGN, there's the "too much water" controversy, but basically, they're just way too corporate for me...
Not using a service that you dont like and dont agree with is weird? Really?
It's like insisting on always paying with cash imo. Does some ethics but quite a bit of an inconvenience if you're in a queue.
Ok yeah, you can be annoyed, but your cash example is ALSO perfectly fine if a person decides digital money isnt for them
Yeah, I get the same level of annoyed on both of these. Cheerio
You can't say things like that here! We are a bunch of nerds who cling so tightly to online privacy and morals it is practically our personality!
Nah it is weird, in the sense that most people really won't put in that much energy to avoid a site even if it was to gather information. It's atypical.
it's called ethics.
