Not sure if you can link to articles from other sites here or not, but look up “Cashing In Karma: How A Former Landscape Architect Turned His Reddit Fame Into A Career.” I doubt most people are doing it for any particular reason, but it is possible to get something out of it. And in regards to the “D-list…

Didn’t some events in Maleficent break canon with Sleeping Beauty, though? I don’t remember any specifics, but I’m pretty sure they aren’t compatible with each other.

D+, seriously? I thought it was one of the better episodes in a while.

That comment was only meant to refute the implication that people who want everything to be on Steam or who don’t want Epic to have exclusives are automatically endorsing a monopoly. I get that there are reasons why it might not work out, but I don’t think there’s any question that from a consumer perspective, having…

This. All people ever seem to do on the Internet nowadays is call out one group or another as though a few bad apples mean the whole orchard is bad. Political parties, people of particular sex/gender/religion/nationalities, even fandoms. I’d go so far as to say that people’s tendency to generalize diverse groups as…

This. And isn’t the very idea of cultural appropriation itself kind of racist? (Or whatever the equivalent word would be here.) After all, it just amounts to saying people can’t do something because of who they were born as.

I wasn’t aware that games exclusive to the Epic store could be priced differently from how they’re priced on the Epic store. Or that the customer service could be different from their own customer service. And so on.

Aside from Valve stuff, anything exclusive to Steam is only exclusive to Steam because it’s the only platform the developer themselves bothered to put it on. Not because they were paid by Steam to make it exclusive.

“I don’t want a monopoly, so every single major game release for the PC must be available on Steam and any other major platforms.”

To be fair, wasn’t one of the selling points for Epic’s store supposed to be that they curated their content so that things like this wouldn’t happen? And in the meantime, nobody who bought it there would know what was going on unless they looked elsewhere since Epic doesn’t have community sections.

I’ve never been able to get into multiplayer games. They’ll be fun for a few hours and then it’s just the same thing over and over again with no real purpose. They might as well be single-player games with no story where they stick you in one big room and say, “Here, just fight these guys forever.” The only difference…

Huh. Now I’m actually kind of curious as to how easy/cheap it is to get legitimate rights to stream cartoons. If someone with only a few thousand followers can do it, it must not be all that difficult.

I’d be excited for it if I actually had PlayStation VR...

“I doubt Sony owns the rights to that type of story.”

Unless their social media accounts get shut down, I can only see this causing them to *gain* more followers.

You’re not equating “bizarre” with “unfunny,” are you? The bizarre sketches are the best.

There have only been three seasons of The Ranch so far.

Sure, but only $2 more. I know I was exaggerating a bit, but the point still stands.

Right, but my point was that there would be no reason for them not to still sell it at the higher price so they could take in more revenue. Sure, the difference in the split means they don’t have to charge as much to take in the same amount as they’d have gotten from Steam, but that defeats the purpose of going with…

That kind of thing is what I’m afraid of. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they make it completely exclusive to iOS and Apple TV apps. Heck, I’d be surprised if they *don’t* do that. And if they do, it’ll be completely useless to me. (Though I could possibly see them offering episodes of stuff to purchase on iTunes,…
