Because for big SaaS (international) companies, managing your own infrastructure can be hard or borderline impossible. Each country has regulation regarding data centers, each must have disaster recovery and scheduled backup, each must have redundancy to the max, and many other things to consider when hosting on your own infrastructure. Meanwhile you can use that money to pay developers instead of paying someone to wrestle with server stuff.

From the FAQ, What is Stremio?

Stremio is a modern media center that gives you the freedom to watch everything you want.

Yeah, I just think that maybe, just maybe, if MacOS is also inspired by UNIX, making a compat layer is not that big of a difference. Because MacOS supports a lot of productivity programs that may attract professionals to Linux too. Mostly adobe suite.

Did he taste good?

Digital piracy is not stealing since nothing has been lost. In fact, something was duplicated. So the term stealing is not appropriate and should not be used to describe it. Copying / duplicating copyrighted material without permission is more appropriate. Also, distributing copyrighted material without permission can be used. But not stealing, no. Even stealing potential profit is a no or we were going to have to start punishing potential crime.

I'll reiterate here that I think it would be funny to see steam actually lowering their cut to 20-10% or something and the mass migrations of developers from other competing stores to steam, and finally making the other store even more insignificant. That's what they want isn't it? And even more funny when after the changes are applied there is no difference in price because after all, publishers get more money for free, why should they lower their profit? If anything, when the policy is reversed/back to when it was, we will only see an increase in game price lol.

But the publisher who published it should be liable too. Wtf is their job then? Parasiting off of public funded research?

So I usually browse the internet at random and sometimes stumble upon some interesting games. Today as I was going to sleep however, I remember I saw a game that I cannot for the life of me find the name again. Not even in my search history (as I regularly wipe those). Can anyone help me find it again? Here is what I know:

  • I didn't find it from steam. And if I remember it correctly, the developer doesn't publish it there either.
  • The game website is quite "old" IMHO. Their website is styled like space with galaxy and stuff.
  • The game features advertised on the very front page is freedom to become anything. Either a trader or even space mercenary
  • I remember the screenshot of the game UI is like stellaris, with a star view, ship control and such
  • I don't really remember if the game is online only or not. But most likely not

I know that seems very generic but I am really hyper focused on finding it and failing. I think I also found the game by recommendation somewhere on lemmy.

Edit: It is Starsector
