They don't care. I've tried with Vanced, blockers, DNS, everything. They'd rather just watch the ads. Blows my balls off.

The longer I ~~work in tech~~ exist, the more I want to move to a farm 50km from neighbours with just me, my partner, a couple dogs, chickens, and cows.

You must be getting a pre built, right? Building a new PC right now is an absolute death sentence. The NVME I paid $200 for in October 2024 is currently $650. Not to mention the 32GB DDR5 I got at the same time. I'm half tempted to sell 16GB of it to fund most of a new GPU.

Oh nice, so can I.

Imagine the brilliance of Terry but without the insanity. Dude was trapped within his own mind.

First filed back in 2024 by Vicki Shotbolt, the lawsuit claims that Valve charges “excessive commission charges” that lead to “an unfair price which is then passed on to consumers”.

Don't they just take the same commission as everyone except for Epic?

Not to mention PC is where I save the most money, and it's solely thanks to Steam and the free Epic games.

Idk, this seems kind of weird when Steam has been seemingly one of the more user-friendly marketplaces, compared to other ones. Remember Uplay and Origin? Lol

Fuck Ubisoft and all of its higher ups and boardmembers. They're getting what they deserve.

Now, who isn't getting what they deserve are all of the hardworking people that actually do the work for the company. The ones getting shitcanned.

It's easy to get used to not owning your games when they don't even put them out in the first place.

Maybe they should come up with something better then. Steam didn't win the marketplace war by being assholes.

[-] THE_GR8_MIKE@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

If that means more stuff like Stardew Valley then I'm in.

Huh. So if games are just horribly optimized and hardware costs a fortune, it will push more people to cloud/streaming their games. The corporations just keep winning. What a wonderful timeline we live in.

If they didn't want people making mods like this, they should maybe take less than 13 years between installments.
