It’s all a ploy to generate “engagement” and make more money for Google. They have already been caught once boosting video views to milk the advertisers. Oh no, it wasn’t them! It was some evil hackers using their infrastructure and tools.

Uh, all games had patches and mappacks downloaded directly from the game’s distributor. It was extremely slow, hence the invention of CDNs like filehippo, hwfiles, 2cows etc and some gaming companies (at the time you could rent your own server and host the games. Incredible, huh? You could also have LAN parties and play with your clan against other clans all using LAN, no internet required) were also doing mirroring of those files (in Italy it was gamearena and ngi, for example). Steam wasn’t even a thing.
We can always go back to the old ways of having a download from the company website and downloading directly from them. What? Nobody wants to pay for bandwidth? Nobody wants to have to pay for secure management of credentials and billing? :O
But you can sell for 47 on epic. You just cannot sell for 47 on epic giving a key that redeems on steam.
Well china does it to everyone, in the western countries usually it is targeted to individuals.
I’m almost always on the global, I’ll try to follow hashtag. I deleted bsky, btw
Wow so funny and edgy! Kepp it up dude, you might have a career!
Yes but my mastodon is either empty or full of Nazis until something gets banned. Threads is a bunch of old white dudes lecturing everyone about everything. On bsky I found most of the stuff I care about. Unfortunately that’s where people are going.
Not exactly the places you would go for living a free life…
The Streaming community Is completely unknowable to me. I would hazard a guess that vertical streaming is for smartphones and horizontal for TV/computer?
That was trump’s DoJ and his lackey as the head of the investigation.
