I'd rather they didn't do this at all.
Please, let's not nornalize nickel-and-diming your customers.
Cool, I'll buy it once it comes to GOG.
And yet, somehow, GOG and Itch still exist, allowing you to download games completely DRM-free, as often as you like. If they ever go out of business, you can still use your local copies forever.
How do they do it? A mystery...
A while ago I wrote an extensible dummy data generator for Java.
I needed to fake some scientific data for a project at work and wasn't satisfied with how closed for modification existing data generation solutions were, so I decided to tackle writing a library on my own.
It was my first major contribution to open source and had some architectural challenges which were fun to solve, not to mention the learning experience :)
Isn't he only a CEO? What exactly did he himself create?
I'll be the first to say that I only begrudgingly accept Steam exists. However, I avoid using it and vastly prefer GOG due to the DRM-free nature of their store and the offline installers.
Just because the hate on Epic is vocal does not mean that everyone likes the Steam status quo.
They only "don't have enough to pay us" insofar as they don't have enough to pay us without sacrificing record high profits or CEO salaries.
No one is cheering for the war, no matter how many times you say it.
People may cheer for Ukrainian independence, or for their victories, but no one wants the war to continue. The war can end today, if only Russia decides to give back all the land they took by force, including Crimea.
You're building a strawman.
I believe the peace talks fell apart once they discovered evidence of all the rape and murder committed by the russians.
Let me know when you can identify where the simping and virtue signaling happened.
Mom doesn't necessarily have to be on Meta. If she wants her son to engage with her on a platform, she can be on kbin, lemmy or any other FOSS alternative once it reaches maturity.
Not being tied to a giant corporation should not mean "obscure" or "unusable for normal people".
People figured out email, they can figure out the fediverse, it just needs time.
