Huh. Interesting article. But, like a lot of people, I didn’t really know anything about Unity before other than they tried to lock in and fundamentally change the fee model with their last CEO.

With respect to PC gaming, this CEO talked a lot more about AR, VR, and “web games” (still not really sure what those are, he envisions people playing them on phones in a Safari browser?) than he did about PC games. That’s concerning, but maybe to be expected of the former COO of Zynga. I guess that’s where the majority of the money is… He even said “We’re usually supportive of PC gaming too.” Lol. But in fairness, they did touch on the Steam Deck, just less than they did on things I’m much less interested in, like vehicle UX, and nothing about Linux gaming at-large…

I think developers realized how much depending on a single closed ecosystem like Unity could put them over a barrel and started to look at alternatives like Godot, etc that will probably continue to haunt this new Unity company for a while. But I’ve always been of the opinion that more competition and choices are better, for consumers and companies…

Okay, you’ve convinced me.

Considering we chose to have no consequences for our felon ex-president, this seems like the better route to go…

“Bless” is archaic, but I don’t think it has to be exclusively religious.

EDIT: I looked for alternate definitions, but I guess it pretty much does always refer to holy/divine approval…

My bad! Fuck Dolan!!!

Sorry, my comment wasn’t directed only at theaters, but anyone in the film entertainment business. I was just using soda and popcorn as an example of jacking up the price of things that are dirt-cheap. If people can’t afford to go to movies, and the same movie is losing money because no one sees them it seems like people don’t think it’s worth that price, no…?

Maybe I need to look into these, or something similar. I’ve tried all the earbuds: different sizes, compressible ones, stabilizing fins, “sport” designs, etc. Every single one falls out of my ears! Can’t even imagine what it’s like to just stick them in your ears for an extended period of time and not have to worry about them…

Also, I know humor is subjective, but inflammatory comments aren’t automatically funny. Even if it is a “joke”…

Anything except lowering prices, huh? Even just concession stands, we all know how cheap it actually costs to make popcorn and soda!

No offense, but if your fediverse account is in any way tied to your identity or other usernames, you already fucked up, privacy-wise. I wanted an account on another instance for the times where mine goes down so I started an application to lem.ee but abandoned it when it required an email address…

Man, that’s super creepy, petty and invasive. Billionaires have way too much power in our society today…

Heads up: this is what actual oversight looks like.

What do you mean “so?” Maybe it does provide enough value. Not enough people know that they have to pay real money to keep the servers running. Thus the request…

Someone should tell him they already made a non-Windows handheld experience that doesn’t suck! It’s called the Steam Deck, and it doesn’t nickel and dime you like HP products do…

My first guess: racist losers are mad that POC exist and are represented in video games.

…Yep. I was right, sadly.

No. He is not controversial or problematic for any one reason…

Always has been…

Or before, since Elon Musk can personally disable your vehicle remotely if he wants to, and has done so.

He is! It’s just benign, voluntary, and he’s benevolent…
