Meh, The rich within Europe can tribute on tax havens like Ireland, Netherlands or Switzerland and if they got too annoyed they just tribute outside the continent
old Airbnb and short-term rentals should be banned too, and not limited to a city, but across all Europe
Nintendo and scalpers… Name a more iconic duo, I’ll wait
Also for PC in 2024
How does this can happen?
As a driver if google tells me I should cross a bridge, but there is no bridge I look for a different route. I don’t try to cross the nonexistent birdge, that’s insane
your customers retroactively owe you money just because you unilaterally said so?
John Riccitiello is Unity’s CEO, you may remember him from being EA’s CEO or for being the guy who said the devs who don’t monetize (you know adding microtransactions, loot boxes and all that greedy stuff) their videogames are “fucking idiots”. I think that explains all
And yes, it too was inspired directly by Diablo (and its sequels).
It would not say it was “inspired” by Diablo it was more than that. I mean, Torchlight was made by the same team that made Diablo I and II after all.
making value judgements on other poor people for being poor is not okay
luckyly for me, I’m not doing that
I’m not rich, I know what I’m talking about. When I’m going to spend money I have to look the best way to spend it, which is the best “invest”. Being wasteful is an luxury I personally can’t afford.
No, if you are poor you learn to value every cent and not being wasteful, if you have common sense, of course
I’d say it’s more expensive to lack common sense
It’s still less expensive than a PC hobby
just with the sales and free online/cloudsaves PCs are cheaper in the long run
And mods are an added value, we can even include fanmade patches that fix what developers don’t into that added value
Consumers don’t have much say in what these companies do or how they operate.
Yes, they do. Microsoft tried to incorporate Xbox live onto PC and it was a failure because PC consumers didn’t bought it
The same goes with paid mods, Valve and Bethesda tried to make people buy mods and it was rejected by the consumer so the have to backtrack.
Consumers have all the power in their wallet they decide what course the companies take. If a company does something that goes against your interests as consumer is as easy as stop giving them money, if you hurt them economically, they’ll have to go back to the business model that gave them profits (this works only if the average consumer is intelligent enough to protect their own interest/rights)

It’s too late. Just because you stopped paying for Xbox live does not means Microsoft is going to make it free.
People should not have accepted pay for online play but since is widespread, it’s too late to revert it
basic tier for those of us who just want online play and cloud save
That should be free. It’s when people should have started boycotting Sony (and Microsoft and Nintendo) now it’s just too late
Neither the DS nor the 3DS flopped, on the contrary. the DS was the most sold console in the world
And it gave us new experiences, new ways to play and also made some stuff better (like having extra info, like maps, information or access to the inventory, having that meant you didn’t need to pause the game)
There’s no way Nintendo abandons the removable joycons.
Nintendo abandoned the dual screen, and that was an incredible feature, I totally see them abandoning removable controllers

To have access to those “free games” you have to pay first, so how come they are free when they are asking money for them?
Free is this:

No payments required and you keep it forever
Could we sabotage the LLM training so the data became worthless?
Like adding to our comments stuff like “2+2=5” “Abraham Lincoln discovered America” and whatever silly statement you can think of
