“To summarise the summary of the summary: people are a problem.”

The funny thing is, I guarantee you right here and now that none of those cost savings will make it into the price of the final product.

Chat is this real?

These are all Valve not selling their own games outside Steam, their own storefront. Does Epic sell Fortnite anywhere else?

Metro Exodus’ publisher is Deep Silver. Epic, a storefront, paid through the nose to get exclusivity on distributing someone else’s product. At the last minute.

They are not the same.

You know the R in GTA stands for ‘Respect the player’s time and progress’

I actually have SR3 on GOG! I must get around to play it someday…

“Outdated mission structure” just triggered something in me. Last gta I bought was 4. Got fed up with “new mission: drive to this faraway place and do difficult thing, if you fail restart from the beginning of the driving bit”. I abandoned 4 at that one mission where I had to lay siege to a skyscraper under construction and I kept losing the shootout and had to drive back there again. Kinda stopped playing, lost interest and never went back since.
Edit: just remembered that there was a mod to add save-anywhere to the game, I even tried that but couldn’t get it to work and that’s where I gave up.

Maybe it’s just me but I can’t recall any occasion where Valve said “hey devs, here’s a pile of money but you’re not allowed to sell your game outside Steam”, have any examples in mind?

Ah Tim, here we go with the “look how brutally honest we are” schtick. Yeah gamers dislike the launcher, but it’s not even about that; it’s about your business practices. Did you forget the part where you took the worst pages from the Xbox/Playstation book and tried to build an exclusivity platform on PC? Trying to buy devs with massive handouts and buy users with free games? We remember, Tim. We remember the Metro Exodus launch and the rest. Personally I can’t do much more than to deny you every single cent I can, but please be assured I’ll be doing that, and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. I don’t even have an account with you to pick up free games because that’d be one more account that legitimizes your shitty platform. Go bankrupt at your earliest convenience please.

Those are the rare exceptions that re-enforce the rule.

Ah but it was nice for a minute imagining microsoft vibe coding windows…

“Uh oh, we’re losing our grip on the poor and uneducated!”

How about German cardinal studies more the teachings of the deity he claims to worship?

Bri’ish vs 'Murican spelling?

What are they gonna do? Go cry to the WTO?

Start a world war. I fully expect this within the next 4 years. The easiest and most surefire way for him to stay in charge: an “emergency” (that he started)

They don’t need to kill it. I don’t actually know why people seem to believe that a source of infinite clean energy would end up being anything else than a money printing machine for the select few… It’s not free energy for everyone, it’s free energy for its owners. Unless OP also hopes for major social upheaval.

Insert OCC meme “but they have games I don’t have!”

It smells to me like ‘you’ll own nothing and be happy’. Someone founded a company on the idea of ‘People have a good thing going, how could we exploit it?’

What happens when you want to exit the contract within the 30 years?

What if you want to sell the house, and the new owner doesn’t want this scheme? Do the panels move with you to the new place? Depending on how hard it is to get out of the contract, it may turn away potential buyers.

Lastly, I may be distrustful of every company, but… When the sun is shining at peak brightness, what’s the guarantee that you get to use all of it? Surely there’s some clever ‘load balancing’ programmed into that inverter… You will never know for sure, it’s not yours.

Do these marks (- for exclusion, + for mandatory) still work on search engines? I thought they stopped entertaining them years ago, exactly because they don’t want the user to mess with SEO results. I know from personal experience that double quotes (to search for an exact expression) are ignored.
