even though there are enough signatures now, they still need more to be sure. Some percentage of the signatures will be invalid(people unable to spell their own names and fakes for example) so there has to be big enough safetymargin. Ross made video about it too.

So until the time runs out, everyone should make sure the safetymargin is as big as possible.

says some rich asshole who probably hasn’t done real work a day in his life, likely living off dividends and bribe money

yes, but medium is the absolute best they can manage

Anything ubisoft makes. Or generally most things big companies make to cater biggest possible amount of people.

i lived my early childhood at 90s and i kind of have same. Though i also have it about 80s or almost any decade before this current shitshow.

oh so now its 80 where the prices are. at this rate it will be 200 within couple of years.

people in government are citizens but not every citizen is in government. But every citizen should have equal right and opportunity to be in the government.

citizens are the government though. if they are not, its not democratic country.

Still, there should be no need to even threaten citizens with violence and if there is, it should be resolved mutually instead of just oppressing the people into submission.

what the hell is wrong with people, first they claim holocaust never happened and now they deny what is literally happening right now. Or at least try to downplay it which is ultimately same in today’s world of everything getting buried under million other things

They added spyware to it.

Here is excerpt from the tos, shared by user in steam reviews of the game.

I wouldnt touch anything this company has produced.

so in other words, 500m will be spent on whitewashing google’s reputation.

They have no guilt. They likely see rest of us as weak and stupid, worthy only of being exploited.

Anything that gets reduced, banned, restricted or anything like that will be available for the rich as it always has been. So most definitely the rich will be eating beef and endangered species like before. You can get anything with money and influence in this world. Why would this be any different?

Was it done in such way it could just as easy to fool multiple scanners at the same time? As in scanning eye, finger and palm at the same time. Though I wonder how expensive/difficult/error prone it would be to implement something like that.

you could use some other service as your main channel and only use those to direct people to that other channel. For example when you do some bigger thing. Deny them the content while taking advantage of bigger visibility.

The music of this game and the previous one is really good

Here are some reasons:

• exclusivity deals, forcing them to drop from steam even after they first announced release on there. They also target crowdfunded games like phoenixpoint.

• The launcher is spyware

https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/epic-launcher-and-privacy/123592

• and epic is owned by tencent 40%

• They not really trying to improve their launcher but instead focus on hurting steam and by extension the users.

Its like some shady guy trying to lure kids to a van by offering free candy.

The launcher is security risk for your system https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/comments/1hm9mh9/epic_games_launcher_had_a_serious_security_flaw/

Even if they have fixed that specific issue, why would you believe they have fixed anything else?

That timeline is disgusting

So in essence, its not bad because it trys to compete with steam. Its bad because they really dont try to compete and just do anti-user things. And people dont care because “yay free games I’m never going to look at again”.

If you want to see what actual competition looks like at the moment, take a look at GOG.

If i do crime and get caught or admit it, I still have to face the law about it. Does bungie?

i have been waiting for long time for them to add enough content to be worth buying. If they are going this route, i guess i’ll forget about getting the damn game entirely

i’m kind of grateful for starfield actually. Feels like I can see bethesda as it actually is, even though it was obvious even before. Its so easy to just not care about anything they do. They can release next elderscrolls all they want, its all dead to me. Even if they manage to make it decent i still dont want to even look at it. Its going to cost 80€ or something like that most likely, so that is so much money saved for something more worthwhile too.
