Any update? Article is from December

It’s a bad headline, all the companies are estimating that much total

Yep, every thread of this video I’ve seen on the fediverse has been overflowing with reminders of why people don’t want to deal with Linux

Yeah it’s veeeery flawed logic for steam. Most people don’t buy games unless they’re on sale, and the only way to make the sales attractive over a long time is to keep raising the discount

Great write up, thanks for sharing!

Agree with everything you say, I don’t like that it has to happen but having the device report whether you’re a child or adult makes more sense than having every service do it poorly themselves.

The page you posted said they started walking handmade cards in 1889, calling it a grift is laughable. And no need to be pedantic

Starting a company is a grift! Selling hand made products is a grift!

Lemmy is a bit of an echo chamber in that regard

Someone else is working on their own version called Kitten Space Agency!

Offering servers as a service would be great, so many PC only games that rely on steam’s multiplayer would be easier to port!

They definitely do a lot to earn that 30%, there’s a ton of dev tools for games. Workshop, leaderboards, multiplayer, etc

I think a majority of devs would jump ship if epic had the userbase, that 10-15% difference can be huge! But the store is bad and doesn’t have the consumers so it’s mostly a waste of resources

Common misconception, but not technically. Good publishers provide real value like funding, marketing, testing, localization, etc. while also giving the team full creative control.

What other weird schedulers could we do, crontab for mars? Seconds to midnight? Death rate?

Their games tend to simulate a lot of npcs, but I have no clue how they actually managed this one lol

It’s free if you use 🐧

8 is rolling though, so all these changes are included if you’ve got it installed

Rolling updates would be soooo nice

Gamedev is like the ultimate digital hobby if you do it yourself. You get to program, do art, sound, game design, etc.

Maybe after lcds go down we can do the 2
