That’s… Largely a financials problem.

Steam: $8-10 billion/y

GOG: $80-120 million/y

Steam can throw 10 GOGs worth of resources at a problem and barely break a sweat. Yeah, of course they are making huge strides, that’s how consolidation of wealth works when that wealth is actually reinvested.


The issue isn’t really the OS in many cases.

The barrier is getting a battery replacement. Which many devices make exceptionally difficult, to the point where buying a new cheap phone is nearly equivalent in price as paying someone to tear down your phone and rebuild it to swap the battery


Naw, they’ll make it yaml

And the only way to edit it will be in an on-phone editor that won’t use a mono spaced font.


And like all android updates, it’s guaranteed to be worse than it was.

Everything’s getting shittier.


The way it works right now on my phone is you tap it to turn it on and off and then you long hold to open the setting.

I’m going to be peeved if that goes away in favor of OPs process…



Fun Friday Facts.

They’ve been releasing awesome devblogs for years every Friday. It’s actually awesome


Isn’t… This what a monopoly is?

Why are we celebrating that?



Many many hours is a massive understatement.

Thousands and thousands of hours is more appropriate



I like that you are so unwilling to learn that you associate an explanation of a field you know nothing about as “defending”

😂😂


Plus you’ll get to see if they add all the post-launch microtransactions like games are starting to do these days.

Launch to good reviews, and THEN rebalance and force players towards transactions and paid currencies.


How to say you know nothing about game development without saying you know nothing about game (software) development. But want to assert your opinion on it regardless.

It’s corporate profiteering not lazy devs. The devs work their asses off, these aren’t their decisions to make.

It’s like blaming the guy finishing the drywall for design problems with the building. Lazy drywallers, ruining a good office tower, it wouldn’t be leaning if they weren’t so lazy.


How does this compare to liftoff?

Been enjoying that quite a bit
