They do it because there are so few alternatives out there, that the difference between them are greater than the average customer would want.

Break them up. If you are too big to fail, you are too big to exist.

Because these rules are not about you and me, but are important on a much larger scale.

If only there was a way to fund open source projects so we both could have better software for the world and paid employees…

I think you can guess which government body already do this. Just take a shot.

And “the western world” only including the UK and USA? Lol.

Sorry, maybe I’m an idiot, but I cant find a single song I have on my playlists from YT or Spotify.

Not even Queen or ABBA comes up. Am I using it wrong? Only did the install.

Everything is for sale in capitalism.

Omg I might have done that to some people! Never realised!

Previously I skipped downloadning the “unneccesary” files like .nfo og random .txt, or subtitles for other languages.

Never considered that would result in incomplete downloads for others.

Seems like the new engine had so many problems that the old engine was actually better made.

They wouldnt have chosen this approach without good reason.

Going up against Minecraft. About time someone makes a serious contender. I’ll watch this one.

Steam Machine is also bigger. Small costs money if you want powerfull.

Also, it’s newer hardware.

I think it will be priced at least a 100€ above the Deck, but I would also be willing to pay that for a console/living room computer.

If you want a new console + a PC at your TV, I think the new Steam Machine could be nice for that.

Running SteamOS (Linux) this should be good, or am I missing something?

They do, but Android is open source, and now Google is trying to close it down.

Well, it’s not game development, but bugfixes and quality testing.

I dont know, but it does makes sense, when there’s still 30% work being done by human eyes. There will still be people checking everything through.

Even if they hit 50-50, they could put more money into the development.

The argument that they will just save the money only works as long as another company doesnt use it for game devs. Otherwise you naturally fall behind.

Ofc they are. They are winning most things right now.

Chinas “weakness” is being reliant on being a production hub for the rest of the world.

And Trump tries to MOVE production to the US, so China can take over the dominant role.

I cant even.

/s right? Because it’s obvious people wont age verify for porn, when there’s a thousands alternatives.

Imagine how fast the US turned to shit, that China is now more trustworthy. Or at least, much more stable.

Their biggest and saddest win, is making truth debatable.

My thought would be the opposite.

If you need to scale down, you do not look at the one employee who knows the most about your company.

If you scale up, you need the guy/girl who knows the most about the departments, because you need structure. Otherwise all the specialists only have eyes for their own field.

I’ve seen more “general employees” being promoted than “specialised employees”.

European countries have capitalism, and it’s not an excuse to have education for all.

But it sure does help. At least to also get out of your echo bubble and see new ways of thinking.
