As the other comment says, if they can explain how I can install a game from GOG without connecting to their servers, I'm happy to concede the point 😂
Additionally, at least at one point (I heard), many Netflix shows had increased costs and payments if there was a third season - leading to Netflix cancelling many things after a second season, to avoid those extra costs.
I mean, other than doing Inside (which was fantastic), acting in films like promising young woman, and producing a bunch of stuff - tours were something he stopped doing for mental health reasons, iirc...
That said, I don't know when you're comparing this to.
I don't understand what you've written for the first line - how does, for instance, Bo Burnham put "lie" to the idea that celebrities don't ask for it?
Given the mercurial nature of the public, I'd almost argue that "celebrities" (or possibly influencers) have no actual control over their popularity, and unlike politicians aren't necessarily looking to control what you do in your life... So are probably a bit different.
I've got to be honest, here, your framing feels weird.
Dbrand's life's work was a companion cube case for a product that didn't exist a year and a half ago?
It's sort of on them if after (or even before) all of the listed things above they never asked Valve if it was okay, presumably to skip any hint of troublesome license fees.
To be clear, nowhere in that article suggests that valve would be making a profit on the current price, or that they "have to make a profit" - just that they would not sell it under cost.
I'm genuinely confused how that becomes "profit motive", or shows greed.

In this GPU economy?!
I mean, he had dropped out of shows etc well before inside, is my point, I guess. So again, a confusing example.

Great to see these guys mentioned! I remember buying their music online (a rarity at the time) after playing it in guitar hero... 3?
Delightful.

I very much enjoyed this post
Just started reading some Neal Asher, Polity stuff (dark agent, dark diamond, war bodies).
Was reading Empire of the Dawn, but it got a bit spicy for reading on the plane so I had to switch to something a little safer 😅
Why would you say he's dumb, out of interest?

So, yeah. That's kinda on them.
I'm not sure you do see my point.

I guess this explains it better than I could: https://lemmy.world/post/48534116
Because console manufacturers can rely on their customers buying stuff at their store.
I was initially worried it would be another cash in by that company with the rights, but this might be okay?
That said, moderately unsure it's my kind of game, and don't need yet another box to fill my shelves just for my love of the universe...
Without the sneeze, it just takes a screenshot.
There's been a few campaigns against this sort of thing: https://www.theringer.com/2024/12/03/tech/headlight-brightness-cars-accidents
Thank you!
Has anyone tried the steam controller on an Nvidia shield, even via steam streaming? Very curious to know if that works alright...
Wow, that's a very short article.
I was sort of hoping for any kind of "I tried it and thought X" style follow-up.
