Tbf, that’s not really Spotify’s fault. After operating costs and the cut to the various app stores they’re on, the larger record labels hoover up all of the profits. Spotify has actually operated at a loss the past few years.
Moonlight is also capable of 4k streaming
The PC would’ve survived even without that though.
PC gaming survival hasn’t been in question for decades. I think it’s more about people wondering when consoles are going to start dying off, and we might be getting there soon
The difference is that MS and Sony have started porting their games to PC this generation. There’s very few console exclusives left apart from Nintendo
Honestly, I think that’s more perception than reality. Consoles are just “plug in and play” right out of the box, you have to get accounts set up and games installed. If you buy a prebuilt PC with the OS installed, there’s not a significantly different amount of setup needed in comparison.
You can make PC’s with comparable price and performance of a console. Especially when you facotr in the cost of subscriptions to use online services. Content creators just rarely cover that because it doesn’t get them views
This community is literally called “PC Gaming”. They went out of their way to come here and type up a false reason to claim that consoles are better.
You can do that with a pc as well
Well, not digital piracy. Ye olde piracy absolutely was stealing, plus a medley of other crimes
Looks like your account is on Lemmy.World, so you can’t access c/piracy. I’ll get you a link to the megathread.
EDIT: Nevermind, hedgehog already posted it
Just like the people who lost access to the Discovery Channel content when Sony lost the rights to distribute? Wait a minute…
Yeah, in the fine print that nobody reads
Anyways, agreed they just seem to be trying to be over-the-top with the wording, but understandable that someone making a petition would feel pressured to write like that.
I get why someone might exaggerate the need of their petition, but overall it’s still a bad idea. The best case scenario is that nobody cares about the hyperbole, but at worse you’re alienating people that would otherwise be open to helping.
Not to mention the fact that SDV has been out for 10 years now. It’s not like the person making the petition hasn’t had time to sit down and think this out. Not only that, I’d be surprised if there wasn’t already a mod that already did 99% of what they’re requesting. They could have picked a mod (or written it themselves) and asked for ConcernedApe to work with the mod author to merge it into the game, potentially reducing the work he has to do and thereby making it more likely to happen
You’ve pretty much summed up my take on this. Trying to exaggerate the number of people affected doesn’t help when you game things out. At best, it doesn’t negatively affect your chances, and at worse you can peev off people that would otherwise be willing to help.
Apart from the non-binary players, I don’t see a reason why the trans players can’t just play as their chosen gender. The only thing I can think of to break the immersion is having kids, and even then the game doesn’t do much to differentiate adopted vs birth children
Eh, while I usually love Frosts’s videos, some of his arguments in here are incorrect. I still agree with his conclusion, he just did a sub-par job of making its case.
Yep. Peak Hexbear moment
Wasn’t Mod Organizer 2 natively ported to Linux already? I know they mainly do Bethesda games but credit where it’s due
