Aren’t these the same guys that have a stick up their ass about AMD and/or they get paid by Intel to be biased?

Depends, building good games that establish goodwill and a strong franchise will make you more money in the end than the quick pump and dump mobile game candy crush bullshit.

The difference is that the mobile game model can exist perpetually in a state of pump and dump because the platform of mobile is essentially purpose built to be a time waster. Consoles and PC games are intended to be an activity in themselves instead of a way to take a smoke break, the ramifications of attempting to convert the standard videogame model to the pump and dump model has been successful depending on your definition.

Sure we’ve established that whales exist in every market and some people will buy every MTX they can even if it’s CoD or whatever, but we’ve also seen people who used to spend a considerable amount of money on games stop doing so, because the market doesn’t cater to their preferences. That’s the point Larian is making, you can create a true fan base with their model, you can only create addicts with the pump and dump model.

Land. Value. Tax.

Value.

Tax.

Like 75% of my basic training division was either inner city poverty escapism or rural poverty escapism.

Ironically that became the uniting force of those people, something they could understand when everything else about the person is different.

No one wants Steam bankrupt, they just want more than one videogame vendor on PC to be viable.

“Mumbo jumbo about competition” I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or are just legitimately a braindead moron.

For me, as a user, that’s not my concern. For me, as a user, it’s more important that I can have my convenience

FTFY

Also, the only truly bad competition is subsidized competition. As long as it’s not surviving on some kind of grant or funding, instead of its actual market value, then it’s always a good thing as it keeps competitors on their toes.

Fanboys and monopolies, name a better combination.

Step 3: “Go to torrentio lite - stremio addon”

Is this in stremio or the play store? You don’t specify a source and I can’t find it in the stremio add on section even when directly searched.

There is something called torrentio on the play store so I assume that’s what you mean but it isn’t called “lite.”

Damn, that’s crazy that you have the time to so seriously inconvenience yourself so you can feel good about this.

Let me guess, you live in a city and forget that not everyone lives in a city?

I think the point of the cartoon is that some people genuinely are like this. They can’t see the human in front of them without classifying them politically and deciding based on those metrics whether they’re a good person or not. It’s just “you’re a liberal, and therefore I don’t have to care about you.”

Then they’ll turn around and pretend to be a Christian or whatever.

Even being on Linux isn’t enough for Linux users, now. Gotta have every piece of software they approve of and none of the ones they don’t. On top of it you have to use it for the same reasons, too.

Fucking Christ, you guys make me want to never mention that I use Linux.

Konsi is best goblin for sure.

You mean geography?

Calm down MacOS hasn’t done shit to make it better. They decide what you do and don’t get, daddy apple already made the decision and you have to deal with it.

“We did the thinking for you, and you’ll like it.” Might as well be their slogan.

Looks like they’re unloaded with the receivers locked back, no different than looking down the barrel while cleaning it.

It has nothing to do with social fear, every fucking call on my personal and work phone is a scam.

Get that shit under control and then maybe I’ll answer my cell phone once in awhile lol

Though if I was really lost I think I’d be answering every call tbh.

They just don’t consider personal responsibility to even exist. It’s the corporation’s fault they spent a hundred bucks on a thing your old phone and a 15 dollar magnetic mount could have done for you, because said device needs a subscription service.

I had a guy tell me in this thread that I had “privilege” for saying Spotify didnt expect people without a paid subscription to be spending money on such an overpriced device. OP is throwing hundo’s away on stupid shit but it HAS to be the corpos fault somehow, people will toss logic right out the window to keep the cognitive dissonance at bay.

Something tells me they just didn’t realize someone would buy a Spotify car play without already having a subscription.

I mean really, you’re too cheap for 9.99/m but you’ll drop 100 bucks for something your phone already does?

Seems like OP is just in a very unique situation that Spotify didn’t expect anyone to be in.
