I honestly couldn’t say. But it would explain the rapid enshitifaction and shift in culture there.

Tencent is unfortunately buying its way into the western market too

Hopefully it’ll force more optimization. We have incredibly powerful hardware already. If they just took the time to optimize we wouldn’t need 5090s to run 60fps. This may be a boon overall.

It’s not that dense. Between Kraftons actions and this homie’s resume, all parties seem to be in it for the cash.

I’ll eat your down votes you capitalist fucks

I’ll celebrate the death of Denuvo just like I did the death of SecuROM back in the day

It’s hilarious for adults and kids.

Ouuuu hot take. Never said anything did, but your Christian reference implies that Christianity does.

I don’t think Christianity requires circumcising

Part of the problem is that people have gotten lazy. I’d say the biggest advent of people losing touch with the actually tech is windows 7. It had everything at your fingertips. No need to look for drivers, little need for compatibility changes or added set up requirements. Couple that with nvidia automatically adjusting “best settings” for your rig on a per-game basis and you’ve got what we have now. People don’t want to learn and they’ve forgotten how we got here. Unfortunately, click and run seems to be the consumer de facto now and it isn’t going to go away.

I believe it’s his lack of upper facial movement to match the extremely flexed mouth muscles. It’s not a genuine smile. It’s very forced and we can perceive that despite not knowing why.

Oh absolutely! I tried to make a career of an interest once before and it killed my passion for it. I would be devastated if that happened with my tech love.

As a kid, dad set me up on one of his spare dos/win3.1 PCs when he was working. The passion and learning never stopped from that point. Just not something I want to make a career of.

I’m not really sure how that would work. iOS has always been a closed system with apps needed to go through the store. The one store. And it’s thrived.

Yes you can make the argument about jailbreaking to sideload etc. but realistically it was an os designed to have a single point of entry. I’m all for abandoning fees and more source options but this is not the way to that. Nor does this help completion or open up other avenues for a competing App Store. And let’s be honest, getting into the Apple ecosystem, you should already be aware of its limitations.

It’s does give Tim Sweeney a hardon thinking he’s a winner.

E- seriously, read the article. Follow the news. All this allows for is alternative payment systems to bypass apples fees. The point I made originally is still valid as Epic will still be collecting fees on its own stores. So let’s maybe lead by example? The Epic Games Store may not be you only option on PC. However it handles more “exclusive” distribution deals than any of the other pc stores.

Still fees in the Epic Games Store, Tim?

This is such an ill informed and disgusting comment. It comes from a place of media propaganda. Germany is having an issue with the AfD, yes, but the rest of the world is also struggling with far right extremism and its rise to power again. Go to Germany, you’ll change your outlook on the people, the culture, and hopefully regret the blanket statement you just made.
