Because under a tRump presidency he would have lied 100x more and moved the White House to Gaza after helping to bulldoze the people.

But hey, be insulting to random people on the the Internet because they don't think the same as you. So strong! So brave!!

That's the same for any digital platform, though. Literally, any gaming store except for GOG won't let you take your library with you. You don't own the game as far as any of them are concerned. You're claiming Steam is some kind of monster because their platform for games you don't own is better than other platforms for games you don't own. Because their platform doesn't sucks, it earns them a lot of business. That's it. That's the magic sauce.

With options, if Stream sucked, people would go elsewhere.

If Steam had anything resembling a monopoly they'd do everything they could to remove platforms offering the same games. The number of platforms has only expanded since they started.

If Stream was a monopoly, they'd not only undercut others, they'd pay for exclusivity rights. Steam let's developers sell their own keys from anywhere the developer wants, while taking no cut when that happens, even though Steam still has to front the bandwidth and storage for the game to be played.

If Steam was a monopoly, they'd buy up smaller firms, buy businesses with similar, but competing services, or take another company's product, reverse engineer it, and make their own undercutting the original. They've done the opposite at every turn.

You really don't understand monopolistic tactics. You're not going to understand it, either, since you've continues to conflate good business decisions that earn trust and adoption with anti-consumer practices. Steam makes good business decisions, listens to their customers and developers about ways to make the service or products better, and has more business because of it. They have a better product without stooping to the air a in lot of current businesses are pulling.

That's it. 70% market dominance doesn't fucking matter. They could have 90% and it still wouldn't be a monopoly with their current strategy. Other businesses need to suck less.

I turn 40 in September. I don't like it!

Honestly, who is surprised? Those people are clowns and I'm sure Harris has been dealing with this since becoming a public figure. Her race is lower hanging fruit than her laugh, at this point. I was more surprised by the laughing shit than I am of this!

Voices sound lower and deeper when you speak since the source is so close to the receiver.

But that's never how these things go. They put so many resources into FPS aspects that they almost entirely abandon the space sim. Just look at E:D for an example. They dedicated a whole DLC to walking around your ships and then threw ground assault missions into it.

The immersion from being a part of the world, walking around and experiencing stuff is neat and immersive. If the focus was on that stuff first and FPS second, cool, but that feels rarely the case.

Thanks for the comment!

~~Fat~~ Far out! You're like the only person I've seen mention emby. It's always Plex. Been running emby for a while and it's great.

Just the burner.

[-] mjhelto@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

No problem. I don't apply my experiences to others' lives, or at least I try not to. Thanks for taking along the lines I was trying to convey!

I mean the fact that we even have to have these conversations kinda already shows they don't care about lives.
