Thank you Ruben!

It seems like the future for Lemmy is pretty bright with all these amazing apps switching over.

It’s a shame that Christian decided to not develop Apollo for Lemmy for the time being. I bet that would also convince a fair share of users to abandon ship.

I’ve gotten to old and busy to give two shits about someone’s background as long as it’s not pushed in my face.

If I come across racist, homophobic, warmongering, outright Nazi or tankie stuff among many other things, I simply block the person/community and move on with my life.

Ah, I get it now. I was so locked into PC gaming that I wasn’t aware we are talking consoles.

Yeah, the argument gets a lot better on consoles, but I guess physical console games are a dying breed as well.

But just you then just buy a worthless piece of plastic nowadays, because the license key was already added to Steam, GoG or whatever?

Sadly, we have to accept that we are old and a lot of people grew up after the glory days of New Grounds.

I honestly don’t get the obsession with physical media. That’s a thing of the past, my PC doesn’t even have a drive anymore.

The only benefit I see is a reduced download size, but with day one patches sometimes being 40+ GB that’s also not always the case.

It’s not like you own the game, just because you have a physical copy of it. Once the licensing servers are shut down that disk becomes a paper weight, and that is if it doesn’t require a constant connection to begin with.

On the other side you could argue that it’s better for the environment if we finally get rid of all disks. Is it a huge impact compared to everything else? Probably not, but it is a step in the right direction.

Possibly. However, it would be really interesting to see how many download the official app. Personally, the telemetry and ads are enough to keep me away, but I fully understand people, who say that Lemmy’s content just isn’t there yet.
