Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us?

  • It's their accounts, you just have access to them. They can close the whole thing tomorrow.

    I don't even want to know what will happen when the valve guy retires. A publicly owned (edit: meant to write privately owned) company that could just shut down tomorrow. Many gaming publishers are aware, having their own launchers. Are you?

    I'm telling you, root server, self-hosted everything and FOSS. If you can't do your things with that, it ain't worth doing anyway.

    • Discord is laying off 17 percent of employees

  • The one writing the change-logs should stay though. Hilarious.

    But yeah, featureitis usually comes from employees sitting on their hands. I mean, I keep telling myself, just because I only use two features, doesn't mean everybody else does... But I strongly feel that nobody really does. Chat, video, voice, done.

  • Still holding out for them to have a $10 a year tier with no added features. The $36 bucks a year entry fee is just too much.

    Can someone here explain to me why so many free services directly jump to $3, $5 or $9.99 bucks a month? Why not $10 per year? Surely that's better than nothing?

    Just call it supporter tier and that's it. I don't want any icons or upload limits either. I just want to not feel like a leech. ;)

  • I sometimes feel like I am the only one with that file. Yes sir, I sometimes feel sad when a good piece of software doesn't have a donation button or license to buy. Even if it does nothing.

    Ditched Windows long ago though.

  • Or even worse:

    Thanks. Send a complete log of every software on your system, two videos of the bugs in action, and a detailed analysis of what you've had for breakfast.

  • Hehe, sometimes I wish that I could be snarky like that. ;) Good for you.

    I have been told by numerous people these days that there are no free things in life. I write and contribute to FOSS software, and had that exact discussion.

    Apparently, I do it to feel good, and for the prestige, a reward in itself. Also, I probably want to make up for something.

    "Doing something for free is no excuse to do it badly."

    Some others don't even know what "free" means." And some don't believe it at all, that someone is paying me. Probably thinking about influencers or something. Perhaps they saw an ad somewhere and believed I'd see any of that revenue. ;)

    I just went with posting the wiki entry about FOSS, and my ko-fi page, and thanked them for their interest. The first two, because they genuinely didn't know any better, and the third because, well, at least that one is clear. Every user is a tester. Testing is good.
