Do you live in a not so popular place? Locations out in the middle of nowhere get updated very slowly. For example go on google street view in the middle of Australia or in the middle of nowhere US plains, you will find picture of very low quality, which have obviously been taken many many years ago.

Why shouldn’t they be given credit? Should you not be praised or given credit for volunteering at the animal shelter just because you happen to love animals?

The fact that it makes sense financially for companies to do this should in no way minimize the other fact that this still helps.

I wouldn’t see it as them using their monopoly powers, more like we trusted you with Fornite and you broke that trust, so that makes you untrustworthy and we are going get rid of you until you can be shown that you can be trusted again.

Which is funny because 30% is what physical stores get from the sales, so Steam, Apple, Google and everyone else is just following what was standard. Now you can question whether that 30% is fair for digital stores.

Not only does Epic have it’s own storefront, but unless you are one of the big gaming companies, they won’t even let you on their store unless you agree to be exclusive on their store, which is a lot more anti consumer and anti competitive than Apple’s policy.

Oh personally I didn’t get upset, I found it ironic and funny (and not in the haha sense, but funny that Epic would try to paint themself as the underdog.)

Did they? I guess my comment somewhere else here is incorrect then. I guess it felt like Apple wasn’t as big back to me. Comment was  pretty much saying how both of these companies are one of the things that 1984 warns about.

I think part of the issue is that it’s Epic that is using it. Epic isn’t some plucky upstart struggling to make money, they are one of the people that 1984 is warning about. At least back when Apple originally made the ad, they could be considered the underdog. This is a case of the pot calling the kettle black and…

Tencent does not own a majority stake in Epic, so that means that no the CCP doesn’t get shit from Epic. The reason you didn’t see a mention about Tencent and the CCP is because it’s a stupid argument, brought up by uninformed trying to stir up the China is evil so everything Chinese is evil bullshit. 

Epic has their own share of creepy cult fanboys. This whole story regardless of what should happen is a story about a pot calling the kettle black.

I dislike both companies, so in my opinion they can both get lost. However looking at this from a big picture angle, I am on Epic’s side on this, but just barely, I think it’s shitty that Apple forces people to use their system even if you have a perfectly viable and functional system. At least Google gives you the…

Apple is totally in the wrong thought no matter how someone else would react or how you feel about Apple or Epic. Google’s reaction to this seems more reasonable, I assume that their issue is with Epic sending people outside of Android/Google’s ecosystem, if they just didn’t do that than it be fine. I also think it’s…

Exactly, people like to give Tencent shit without any research, because Chine=bad. Tencent just puts money into companies that are doing or have the potential of doing well and then they get their cut of whatever that company makes. They don’t mess with the companies, because that would be stupid and cause the money…

This just in:

Wow that’s a massive information overload. I don’t like it, but I don’t hate it either, I think it needs some work first. I like that a bunch of things are grouped together, like I saw that there is a section for Twitch news and a section for all the highlight videos and I think having things in sections like this is…

You still can’t play them without steam, which is the point he was getting at. He gets DRM free games, which means he has full access to the game at any time as long as he has his backup, but when it’s a game where he HAS to use steam, he will buy it on steam AND download a pirated copy with the steam requirement…

I would be disappointed if he ends up picking Harris. I thought he was doing good with black voters because of his proximity to Obama. I don’t see how she helps him with any voters that he wasn’t already getting anyways, would it be too much for him to choose someone more on the left? Meh I guess so.

I am very disappointed to see that Tom Pelphrey did not get a nomination for his portrayal of Ben on Ozark, seriously, what the fuck?

I think for sure there are lonely women too. It’s just that there aren’t really men out there renting themself out to spend time with these lonely women, at least not in the way that women are able to do it. (And before anyone replies, yes I know that there actually are those men out there, but the ratio is so one…
