I’d welcome actual, legitimate competition to Steam. That means it has to be as good if not BETTER than Steam in some ways. Epic, Apple, EA, Ubisoft, etc, sure as hell did not deliver. If anything it caused market segmentation and segregation.
They are, I’m not arguing against Valve or for Apple. I’m explaining that business people want moar money and don’t like it when someone else makes it when they could.
I was trying to avoid the monopoly complaint because it’s bogus for the reason you said. The truth, Valve has a massive market share and people are very used to Steam, tied to it in many cases. Other publishers tried to set out on their own with their own store fronts and most of those have utterly failed. Even Epic still sells their games on Steam. It’s a powerful market with a lot of brand loyalty that those companies really do want themselves.
I’ll throw a hat in the ring here. It’s because Steam has a grip on the gaming market that others want instead of them. That’s it, they want that money instead of Valve. Apple is getting a pass on this because it’s just fucking over the common guy which businesses couldn’t care less about.
I have a use for it. Put it in the recycle bin.
Thank you, I have been saying this. Use a regular camera and be sure to delete meta data off images and videos when uploading!
Wasn’t sure if they were or not, why I mentioned the jury was out on it. Regardless, leave your phone at home.
Do not take your phone to protests/rallies/organized events. Do not turn it off and take it with you thinking it’s okay, they will know when and where you turned it off. Jury is still out if modern phones truly turn off as well. Use a regular camera for taking pictures, take lots of them, get faces, IDs, anything if you can of ICE. Let them start the violence first.
But engineer don’t make dividends go up. Engineer know to reinvest, and stock holder sad not get more money.
Yup, and I was almost one of them. Can take a while to deprogram oneself. It literally took me being exposed to the wide world out of their little microcosim of understanding and rhetoric to see they were putting 2+2=9. Add in the neo-liberals who cozy up with them when anyone with a hint of progressivism gets popular or change is on the horizon. Then saying stuff like “they can still learn and understand.”
Depends on when you consider the corruption of the wealthy came in. The Civil War was fought over slavery and it was because rich land barons in the south didn’t want to have workers they paid anything to. So they also greased government hands to try and keep it. So the rot set in quickly, it just took longer to metastasize.
What load is this? Unless you’re switching from one manufacturer to the other the drivers are universal save for really old cards. So you go from a RTX2070 to and RTX4070 it’ll work after a few moments to recognize by the PC.
I called a terrible IT person for suggesting not connecting smart TVs to the network as a simple means of by passing the issue with their updates and invasion of privacy. I think it’d be easier to do that and hook up an old computer for streaming from.
For the rest of the world it’s a smart idea, who would want self proclaimed domestic terrorists into their country?
The 360 was released in 2005. That’s over 20 years ago. Yes, they would be considered classics at this point. And know what, I wish more folks younger than myself discovered how gaming WAS and realize what it’s turned into.
