It's an odd one.

If a game cannot be sold cheaper elsewhere, publishers have two options, lower the price on Steam (which benefits consumers) or increase the price on the other platform(s) (which benefits the publisher).

It benefits Valve no matter what. It can also benefit the consumer. It can also harm the consumer.

Publishers have every right to not use Steam. Ubisoft had success with UPlay in the past, they just wanted even more money, so went back to Steam.

Will be interesting to see what happens with the lawsuit.

The apps are not much better these days. I think it's just cost cutting, avoiding hiring dedicated UX designers.

Web apps ruined UX though, at least with apps (historically anyway) you would get some consistent UI. There were design guidelines developers could follow. Same for programs on PCs.

Then PWAs came along and ruined UI/UX. Do UX designers even exist anymore?

Sigh. But trading good UI for tracking and data collection, is indeed, not worth it.

Surprise, surprise, a paid product with salaried developers has more features than a volunteer project!

More people using Jellyfin, more people who will contribute, through code or donations. It's worth a downside to swap over.

Hey, guess what you need to buy an internet connection in the first place! Wanting more ID verification is only fascism.

Get outta here fascist.

Yawn. You sound like the lobbyists. They want ID to control us, to selectively spread more misinformation.

Nobody will be able to criticize the government, you will be targeted. The bots promoting fascism are the same ones spreading bullshit like this to push for the fascist non-anonymous internet.

It sounds like you shouldnt be using the internet at all.

I dont need a plan, I dont host a subscription game.

[–] warm@kbin.earth -1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Even subscription games should be made playable/hostable after they are shutdown. No game should be immune.

That was such a cool way to demonstrate how these iconic games became a part of our culture. They should be able to be archived and preserved like any art.
