You are correct, but be aware that megacorps are aware of and even encourage the “Everything should be free!” mentality because that is how they justify intrusive monitoring, tracking, and ad campaigns. If a company gives you something for “free”, the price is that they’re taking your personal information or forcing…

Yeah, I’m calling a bit of BS on that claim of this being a Boomer/Gen-X problem. The people making death threats online to developers over stupid video game things aren’t 70, they’re more likely 15-30.

Why would they? Doing so is only going to antagonize the person who made the threats in the first place. They are trying to step away from people like that. Not engage more.

Aren’t boomers like 70 years old now? What are they doing using emulators?

Honestly, developing games or software with “gamers” as the end-audience is one of the worst professional experiences of my life because it’s the only industry where people think their $10-69 spend entitles them to make ridiculous demands or access developers in ways that wouldn’t be appropriate in literally any other…

If the slavering, unwashed, impatient, emotionally stunted little shit class of fandom (any) could just spontaneously off itself, that’d be just aces.

It’s beyond pathetic that it seems that a loud and vocal section of the UK populace are hell-bent on denigrating Markle at every single opportunity they can find. She doesn’t seem to be a bad person, and I think a lot of the vileness directed at her is because of her background, not of her character. She is a…

Could literally write the same thing about Piers Morgan. I don’t know what is up with these lumpy British guys, but it’s pretty sad and pathetic to be honest.

It’s really weird considering any real importance Harry has was done the minute his older brother had a kid. He was the spare heir. Now he’s #5 in line. Let him and his wife be happy doing whatever he wants to do.

OH MY GOD wowwwwww the annoying moron with anger issues who has made a hobby out of being extremely racist/sexist/homophobic/denying climate change said another stupid thing. I swear it’s like everyone forgets what a massive piece of absolute shit he is every two years and before being suddenly reminded why. Please…

Chechik suspended her porn career this September to focus solely on coaching and Twitch, with the goal to phase out porn out of her professional life within the next year and a half. Apart from publications being weird about porn, I think the downplaying is at least partially motivated by this stated plan and desire.…

Any lawyer worth their salt will be able to metaphorically piss on that waiver.

Its interesting to see 3 big entity Intel+Lenovo, Twitch, and Kairos is playing responsibility dodgeball on this case.

I hope she bleeds them all dry

Are you.. for real? I can’t tell if this is internet sarcasm.

In case it’s not: In this article we’re specifically talking ~$20 indie games, not $70 AAA. It’s an important distinction when setting the tone and how to discuss the issue, because corpo/shareholder greed is a much bigger issue at the higher echelons.
An…

This is an idiotic argument that mistakes “per unit marginal cost” as the total cost of production. Games don’t have a high marginal cost, no, but they have an inordinately high production and development cost that has to be distributed over a certain number of projected sales. In the case of indies, I’ve noticed a…

For people who refuse to understand the issue here, ill try to aproach it from another angle 

There are countless free or very cheap games that you could play instead.  You could simply choose to not cheat the system because you feel like you’re entitled to play a game. 

I doubt many of these people are using credit cards issued by foreign banks, or even credit cards with a billing address outside of the country they live in. The store can check that.
