I still blame valve a lot for this. Their TOS offer us no protection. Publishers should not be able to retroactively lock down a game. Diminishing the game performance or adding unwanted DRM after purchase should be a refundable offense. People choose whether or not to buy games based on properties like these.

Alt-escape should still work on these as well. Effectively minimises them.

Username checks out XD.

Attempted trump assassin's son arrested for possible possession of child porn?

It costs $49.99 per year (or $11.99 per month)

Why in the hell does the monthly price end with you paying 280% more than the yearly. That is such an absurd discount I don't even know why someone would pay at all for this app but more so I want to understand where the price justification is and who came up with this plan.

To be clear I support artists and more than welcome a platform for them to share and sell art if they wish... I don't get why it needs to be a subscription service and I don't see how such inflated charges are going to help artists as it'll just discourage large numbers of people wanting to support them.

Is it stagnation or you just have more of an attachment to the music you grew up with because it literally affected the way your brain matured? Still interesting insight tho.

That's ageist. I maintain my god given right to lie about being the oldest person on earth.

How was it bad for epic? They would've made more from cuts on sales on steam than selling the full game at the lower rates on their own store? God I wonder how dismal their customer engagement rate is.

This is ridiculous. How do you not already have Holywood breaking down your doors for film rights Σ(ﾟ∀ﾟﾉ)ﾉ

This line of reasoning kind of falls apart when you deal with someone that doesn't act on good faith. For example you can pioneer democracy and the will of the people and then let 10% of radical people use propaganda to brainwash 41% of normal people to take over the government and then basically breakapart the foundations of democracy and people's rights. The end result is a democratic path to the end of democracy and a worse situation for everyone involved. There's a reason people say you can't be tolerant of anti-tolerance.

Correction the ghosts are AI and based on how many times they killed me clearly a step above anything mainstream today (º ﾛ º๑).

For the world to be truly united into a democratic representative utopia. A world without war, without famine, without global warming. At the heart of all issues is, despite the fact we're all so close to each other, that we operate and behave in our own self interests or to the detriment of each other. I'd wish for all borders to be opened. Everyone to be given a unquestionable bare minimum set of human rights across the globe. Removal of diplomatic immunity and forced standardisation of laws with the goal of levelling the living standards of all people. Etc. World peace but with a foundation to keep it going I think.

The hardware fuse samsung put in that flips when you try to change roms and can never be replaced. Wtf kinda world are we living in :/.

Even more reason for me to not go back to this dump.

I mean buying a usb, installing imaging software, not messing up the drive your try to create the installer on. That's already a lot harder than most tech illiterate people that just need to buy a computer.

Gen-z will technically be entering its thirties soon :P

Fake news. We're still in the year 2018 and I'm stayin 18 forever. Σ(' ε 'oﾉ)ﾉ

Well installing it. That alone requires a challenge most folks probably couldn't overcome easily. People are accustomed to just getting a computer with a working os on it. Changing that os would be pretty hard for them.

I kinda wish we could go back to the world of people hosting their own servers and having subsets of their homedirs on ftp urls. Of course none of that is really approachable to a lot of a people :-(.

Hah, you clean your clothes. What a low socio economic peasant. I just throw them away when they get old. /s

I hate ads but their designed to be shown to people and intentionally using bots to inflate ad views is very clearly fraud. Silicon valley had something similar with bot farms to fake user engagement to take in VC funding. You take money in exchange for some kinda engagement metric which you're faking.
