  • Sure, just like other brick and mortar stores can refuse to give you backups of a DVD you own.

    As long as the installer works offline this is just as good. It's up to you to store it in whichever format you prefer so that you don't lose it - hard drive, thumb drive, DVD...

    If you nuke your computers hard drive with the installers of your games, or you step on your blu rays with games and break them, then you lose access to them. As it's always been, no matter the format?

  • I'm not a lawyer but, I know when you file for a patent you can do that in just one country or internationally (which is significantly more expensive). Skimming through the Wikipedia article it seems to be talking about that, but first you need to have filed for the patent internationally and not in just one country.

    From what I've read about this topic, it sounds like this is a patent active in Japan only.

  • It's okay. You did the same as me but skipping the steps where you spend the money on a switch, and then leave it in a drawer when you get tired of games that play at 27 FPS, which you're lucky if you manage to get with a 20% discount after tracking them on dekudeals for months.

  • This assumes everything works fine. It's probably an edge case, but on my Nexus 6P an update somehow messed with my encryption keys, and the screen lock pattern that I'd used for over a year stopped getting recognised. I can't remember the solution but I vaguely remember having to factory reset. Whatever the solution was, it wasn't too different to what a thief would do... I was bypassing the screen lock after all.

  • In most of Europe, the prices of Model 3's match pretty well those of the Polestar 2. The difference in build quality between those two is night and day. The Tesla feels like a Chrysler/Dodge Neon in comparison, with leather being the only concession whatsoever to niceness.

    The fact that in Europe somehow they're "premium" and not budget cars within their category blows my mind.

  • It's hip to like Kagi because it's not Google.

    I think I stopped paying for Kagi at the third or fourth controversy I heard about, I can't remember which one. I wasn't exactly happy about the implication that paying for Kagi means giving money to the bigot founder of Brave.

  • I don't know why they keep insisting on live service with an upfront cost. The only way these games are successful is by having a fuckton of teenagers with no money to fill the lobbies and make it feel lively and worthwhile. The minute you add an initial cost, there's just not enough of a player base to support a game with microtransactions.

    I'm not a business genius, but they don't have to learn from me. There is the very clear precedent of Kill the justice league that they're choosing to ignore!
