Wonder how long a train journey would take between the two if there was a bridge between Russia and US.
Still remember being a kid and studying a globe for the first time. My brain melted seeing Russia and US were so close to each other. God I was stupid.
I can't buy any of their classic controllers here in Norway. Never understood why we were left out.
Not sure I understand the comparison. Steam DRM is easy to remove, and there's no device to jailbreak as it's just a PC.
Wonder what age range you have to be in to get this ๐๐ .
I honestly felt the same. Then I thought, eh, let's just try. Turns out I don't care about my library being split. I just add desktop icons for the games I'm playing and launch them from there without thinking about what platform it's on.
I just know that for decades people will check the git blame and curse my name.
I got the impression they're aiming more for a "fan club" kind of thing where you get access to articles/videos/Q&A/voting rights, etc. So more a kind of Patreon like many creators have. I didn't get the impression that this would in any way change the business model of the store.
I think a lot of people are concerned about situations like this: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27191500
I think the only way they can introduce a subscription without backlash is if they make it a purely community thing with a few bonuses. Give people access to special insights into their preservation efforts, special interviews, voting rights, Q&A, occasional free game, etc. If they lock features behind this like more cloud storage, or other stuff that customers simply expect with their game purchase, the press will be all negative.
Yeah, I found that one weird as well. Lego Island wasn't just the first Lego game. It was one of the first open world games. Well worth preserving. Much more so than the Lego games that got added.
I'd love a gog galaxy client for Linux with proton support. I also agree though, that it probably wouldn't help them become more profitable.
Just did a GOG survey that focused on the idea of a paid membership option on GOG. Seems they're determining what people would be willing to pay extra for. Some of the options were
And others that I can't remember.
Interesting. Only Fedora seems to be available in Norway.
I'm still 2 years away from a new work laptop (my current one is doing just fine anyway), but when the time comes, I might go for this. Was thinking about going ThinkPad+Linux anyway.
