When the majority of “user base” is there for free games then being second largest store doesn’t mean anything. They already said they are operating on a loss so that further invalidates it.

That said, the last time I used their launcher was a couple years ago when I was still using windows so these points are based solely on my experience back then. They didn’t even have chat option or removed at some point so there was no way to directly message or call a friend from the launcher which means I couldn’t even ask if anyone wanna play. Library GUI was shit, missing so many filter and highlight features of steam. No user review and no I don’t consider the so called game journalist reviews as actual reviews. The store suggestions was also very lacking compared to what steam offers. No workshop support like steam, no community pages, guides etc. Regional pricing was same as steam but they offer more cut to the devs which is nice but I as an user get insanely low value buying on epic than steam. The entire launcher experience was nothing but annoying at every point when Steam is at least usable and had a lot of features that makes it worth using despite all their issues. All this time, they focused on getting exclusives and developers but didn’t give 2 fucks about user experience so let’s see them fix that. Although I vehemently hate epic for a lot of things so I don’t see myself ever buying from them but I don’t see how an average user would care about any of that.

But the average user who will be the majority doesn’t really care about DRM and well happily use their launcher if they find it useful

Hard disagree on every point. Majority of their “user base” just get the free games but spend the money on steam or gog. That will never change unless the store itself becomes worth spending money on.

The difference is that google directly gets money from those ads. Not sure if apple also uses the same ad system but I would assume it is.

They don’t, it’s just to dissuade people from selling accounts and cover their ass.

Exactly my point, some phones has the restriction doesn’t mean it is impossible

This doesn’t mention closing any port

So you don’t have any source that shows ip68 specifications mentions anything about headphone jacks. Thanks.

Just have to prove your own words. Leaving your comment here in case you forgot 🙂

“Oh man, FYI you can’t get an IP68 rating with a headphone jack alone unless you manually cover the slot each time.”

Source?

Wdym? You can just show a new tos update popup which most already do.

Bold of you to assume that’s gonna get released, let alone that early

Damn I have fond memories of those games back in xp and 7 era but ig enshitification is evitable when it comes to Microsoft

They added micro transactions and ads to fucking solitaire? How have I not heard about this till now…

Nothing is gonna save it until game freak gets a change in management

Lol and I don’t understand the logic either, why would someone post the exact same comment twice from different accounts. I kinda agree that there’s no way 9 different people down voted your comment for an obvious glitch, maybe someone has a lot of time to hate.

Did you not read the entire comment? I said behind a pay wall as in paid DLC. Sorry for having a bad memory I guess.

Isn’t that just a glitch? I think I had this before when I repeatedly clicked post on a bad internet and it posted twice.

I don’t get it, am I missing something?

Didn’t someone already do something like that? Was it Bethesda or Ubisoft that locked 4k textures behind pay wall?

But most hospital computers won’t be exposed to internet right? And they probably run a bunch of propriety software that only supports xp so makes sense it took them a long time.

Ofc it works. It’s a click bait, that’s the whole point. But if you are perfectly fine with that then do you mind if someone else makes a ridiculous rage click bait and put irrelevant content in the article? Where do you draw the line? Integrity is important, don’t make exceptions for the one you like.

I hate Samsung and ai in general but this is such a dishonest click bait title. From what I read, they are working on an ai feature which can change some settings dynamically based on usage. I don’t see a need for it but as long is not forced on everyone, I don’t mind it too much. I don’t see any mention that this will completely replace settings menu either. Speculation is fine but mark it as such.

Awful hardware and value proposition in my area. I still had to get one because no one else let you degoogle on day 1 and grapheneos is excellent. It’s insane I had to buy a google phone to get away from google.

They only support like a dozen different currencies, everyone else has to buy it in USD. If there implementation sucks, then it might as well not exist for us ignored by gog.

It certainly made me (an actual consumer) like cdpr more so ig it was worth it.

Can’t you change those multipliers when you create the world? Haven’t played it on very long time so maybe I am confusing it with rimworld and the likes.

With all the negative press, I doubt they would try that. Even if it goes free, people will recognise the name and wouldn’t bother trying it.

And then there was a developer calling gamers talentless freaks for not enjoying the game so hard to sympathise with everyone.

Sale count and player numbers on launch would be better I suppose

I am not sure what demos you mention in particular but the one I recently played is news tower and I am hooked. Just waiting for a good sale to snag the game and even stopped posting the demo mid way. I for one appreciate all the demos being put out even if it is short. Their only purpose is to showcase the full game and they do a decent job of that.

Just wait till star citizen releases. Anytime this century, just you wait.

Alright calm down with that insane imagination. As if that douche could ever who that.

Mate what are you on about. I literally admitted I got the date wrong and you are literally ignoring and twisting my words to your wish. Go ahead assuming shit just to cause drama, I am not gonna bother with this redditor argument anymore.

No? As I already mentioned multiple times, I am not taking about this article. The original comment is about something entirely and it’s not my fault if you and him didn’t get it. No one here is arguing in bad faith, simply correcting him on his assumption.

Former actually, as you said pretty much every good thing had some negatives, it’s all a trade off on one way or another. But if it was between art and slavery, one outweigh the other heavily. And I feel the same for games as well, I don’t mind waiting and paying a higher price if I have to.

I got that as well but my point was lack of wonders like pyramid and some media doesn’t even count as a drawback if we can abolish slavery, which still exist in a different form and name. They simply aren’t on the same balance.

If it takes slavery to make a pyramid or an anime that I enjoy then I don’t need either of them. And no one should feel differently but that’s just my opinion.

Can you read? Serious question. I am not taking about this reviewer as I already mentioned. They weren’t the only one, there are multiple which are probably like 100 reviewers who played this game before release and very few made a mention about the micro transactions and some were also a little surprised about it. Your intent doesn’t matter if you can’t show it well, whatever you’re posting definitely looks like you don’t mind this behaviour and were should stop criticising it. It is 110% fine to criticise something you love, if you don’t then you’re biased and your opinion won’t be taken seriously. Also you don’t have to defend a shitty corpo decision if that’s what you’re doing, definitely seems like it anyway.

Oh so I have to buy the garbage just to criticise it? Absolutely not. And why did you assume that I know nothing about the game when my wording was “exact details” in reference to me getting the DLC dates wrong. So you’re also defending the bait and switch that some reviewers can get a copy with no garbage but they are added in the game at release. Doesn’t matter if it is done for all or just a few but it happened so stop defending assholes. All that does is give an OK to assholes to keep assholing. We already have too many who give into garbage like this and promote this behaviour so if you understand them at least don’t promote it.

I am taking about someone else on Lemmy who shared his experience, not a reviewer. I don’t buy games on release anyway so I don’t know the exact details. But if you’re trying to downplay this whole shit show then don’t, it is very much deserved.
