I fully agree with this. There is no reason except for hive minding to have scores enabled by default.
Ontario had the right idea imo, embargo US goods and then push through the struggles. Sadly it seems they were the only one willing to play hard ball. Everyone else folded like a deck of cards.
I used to until they started getting naggy over email and started guilt trippy on their donation messages.
that is my first thought as well.
"Shoot we didn't take into consideration that GROK will need to be able to see these somehow, so now we need to redo it"
I want to add, this was an existing ruling, they just clarified the rule. Every article it seems is using each-others clickbait titles(the linked article even references it in the edit).
The change that they made was that they added a dedicated section to the developer guidelines, where before they only had it on their pricing page.
This rule has been in effect for 5 years now according to steamdb.
it's not an entire app but, discord profile decorations.
The fact it costs money isn't surprising, but the amount of money charged is hilarious.
17$ for some graphics that some look like they took about 20 minutes to make. Just to make your profile look different than everyone elses. Then the "discount" given for having nitro for it is even more laughable.
Whats equally insane is that people fall for it. I know some people that have easily spent 60$ on profile decorations. Spending equal or greater than the cost of discord nitro is insane to me, even if the decoration doesn't expire.
Others have said this but, that's because the merchant has changed the item listed. I don't believe Amazon should even allow this as a possibility but it does so because they allow it sellers will regularly put an item they know will rate really well out for a few months to get a lot of high rating, and then they'll swap it out for an item that is either something else they want to sell that usually doesn't sell as often or something that's a little lower quality but because they had the old item first all of the reviews for the old item is now stacked onto the new item which makes it look better than it actually is
On top of this, Amazon is able to remember what you purchased in the past so when it gives you those notices it doesn't give you the current information on the item it gives you the information that provided when the item was purchased, so for example if you asked a question on the item, using what they received they're probably thinking that you're the dumb one because they likely got an email showing a dash camera with the same question
wasn't it always blocked by default? Google's always given a scare alert on sideloading apps, is this just an additional popup or is it replacing the stock one. Seems rather pointless if a setting and a waste of developer's resources if you ask me.
I'm just sick of every article in existence calling it "X formally known as Twitter" like what's the point, just either say X or say twitter it's filler bullshit to extend the article.
It's actually quite worrisome, many projects exclusively have their troubleshooting or support on Discord now what's going to happen years down the road when all those Discord servers have closed or no longer active and the invite links expire this is going to be a vast knowledge base that's just lost to the world
especially with mobile phones now, look at iPhone for example, it's so user friendly that if you try to do anything remotely advance you need to jump through hoops to do it. I had a sales person try to tell me that the iPhone was expandable because it had cloud storage capability, they didn't know what a Micro SD card was and that it used to be able to go in all the flagship phones. Pretty disappointing
This right here is what really grinds my gears. When companies own an IP, refuse to do anything on it, and then engage in litigation when someone makes a fan-based project against that IP, or someone redistributes their IP that they're no longer selling.
Either ride the horse or leave the stable.
