I often wonder if this is some sort of lack of self worth thing. Like, people don't see their data as important because they don't see themselves as important in the grand scheme of things? Do they thing one person isn't gonna change anything?
I get algorithms and shit are designed to be addicted and keep you coming back, but is there a deeper part to this?
Or am I just the crazy one? Does all of this not matter? I mean, I know it doesn't, in the grand scheme nothing matters. But at this time in space does it matter? My friends enjoy TikTok and Facebook and Twitter and whatever else they use. I do end up being the crazed loser? Is the pool full of piss and I'm in water? Or is it a lemonade pool and I'm full of Powerade piss
While a entire community can't convince itself to leave, the beauty of the fediverse is if you as a user want to leave it's very easy to switch instances and get access to most of the same info you want.
Bandcamp is an excellent option, I often try to get releases from their when possible.
Spotify probably is the only algorithm I use that just gives me stuff I would enjoy, other services try to push bs I don't want. While I use soulseek and buy from Bandcamp when possible I still use Spotify for discovery.
The real chad just doesn't take a clocked out lunch to begin with
I completely agree. However posts of a screenshot of some shitty comment very much screams cope. That's what I say enjoy ya loot, cause the reasons don't matter.
A screenshot of some comment is not really discussion though. This is a pretty base level understanding of the concept, which is why I say it's more cope then actual discussion.
Can we not become subreddit by posting this shitty screenshots trying to justify our reasons? Just share your media and enjoy it.
I'd say it's less so a decline and moreso a lack of literacy to begin with. The number of relatives I have that are fucking stupid with the internet is insane. And surprise the kids are just as stupid with tech, since the parents are dumb and companies made tools for them and the kids.
Because when you buy it now for $35 right now, you get more for your money than what I got years ago for $25. Even ignoring the additional content and polishing, you're also getting the benefit of all the testing and bug reporting by early adopters, as well as the bug fixing by the developers.
Is that not the opposite? Sure I get less buggy version, but you also have how many years to play compared to me. And you are getting the same game I am when I buy it. You eventually get that content, which one could say is added value to the 25 bucks vs the 35 I spend. You got 10 bucks of content from free essentially.
This is just the wrong mindset. Why would the developer, publisher, valve, or anyone else want to reward you for not buying their product?
It's not the publisher rewarding me. The reward comes from me waiting and getting a cheaper game then those who bought it earlier. As you state
so ideally they would set the price individually for each customer based on the highest amount that customer is willing to pay. Sales after a while are a mechanism for this.
If a game isn't worth X amount of dollars to me then I will wait till the game is Y amount of dollars. If the game never does then I never buy it, meaning the publishers lose, not me.
A game going up in price is fair from early access to release. This is a typical concept and an expected one for the reason you stated, the company makes a promise that it will be fully released.
To me the issue is the inflation price increase that most recently happened. Typically when a digital good releases in a finished state, it tends to stay at a max price. 30 USD is what Factorio decided on. Then it's up to 35. Sure its had updates since the full release but why should I have to pay more then the full release price because I waited?
Typically sales are the reward for those who wait. Factorio seems to be the opposite, those who wait pay more. Inflation is real I understand, but this is also a digital good that has infinite supply. I as a consumer want to buy a game, and I can't tell what the content changed from this 1.0 to the 1.1 since I haven't played it. It probably is justifiable for the 5 bucks increase, but the consumer doesn't know that. I just know this game I want, was 30 bucks and now it's 35 and still hasn't been on sale.
The reward for getting a full release game before a sale is to play it early. You aren't losing the value of your purchase because I got it for 30% off. You got to play it early, and I waited for a price that I felt willing to pay. (The you is referring to people in general, not you specifically)
Memes like this always make we wonder the original version of it. I am dying to know the original context of why the father doesn't want the boyfriend to pull out
People want to have everything in one place and they bitch and whine when everything in one place ends up getting under control of people who are shitty.
Defederating is a needed part to maintain no party keeps too much control and ruins it for everyone. Remember why most of us left reddit for here? The ability for communities to defederate others will hopefully prevent the shit that happened.
My take is less about the game itself, and the idea of games increasing its price at all. I've tried the demo and its a game right up my alley plus I enjoy games like it such as satisfactory. It just doesn't stomach well to me of a digital game going up in price.
I have seen multiple people mention mods at this point and I don't really count modding as part of the value of a game since modders aren't getting paid when I buy the game. Plus really any game can be infinite if you enjoy it enough and mods exist for it.
Well yes, if you do the math it would be cheaper then the $30 price point it's been for years. Actually it adds up to the same as a 20% sale of the $30 price.
I get the point you make. I can accept a game that never goes on sale. The main problem I have is it increasing price after 3 years out of early access.
For me the major red flag is the price going up for inflation. The game went up in price when it left Early Access already and that was 3 years ago. But now the game is being sold as a full game sure it might get updates but one can expect a finished product to at least stay the same price, not go up.
As for sales, at least on PC games are pretty much always on sale either through steam directly or from sites like humble or greenmangaming. You can pretty much pickup any not recent game for 20% off at anytime if you search gg.deals or a similar service.
This game gets universal praise and I'd love to play it but as a PC gamer I refuse to as I wouldn't want to support a dev who not only never does sales but raises the price because of "inflation"
Most useful option in this menu for most users is the animation scale. Will make your phone much snappier if you set it 0.5x
I've told various people over the years how easy it is to move away from tracking and how valuable their data is. They don't care. Which makes me thing it's something else at least in part
