There are other ways to increase company value that do not necessarily result in Q/Q / Y/Y profit increases.

Can you name some examples? I’m not very familiar with economics.

Try XxMikeSmithxX

And who expects cinematic masterpieces? Most gamers skip the cutscenes and all dialog lol

No, you are correct. If you are the only person accessing the service you don’t need to open any ports since you access your network via Wireguard anyway.

The reason Valve is not massively predatory is because they aren’t publicly traded and remain a private company.

There are so many different ways they could create value.

Such as?

German ID (ePerso) can transmit your age anonymously.

Germany for example has an ID with digital functions that are able to transmit if the holder of the ID is an adult or not completely anonymously but Steam refuses to implement a proper age verification system.

That sentence went right over your head it seems.

It was a play on the “I use Arch btw” meme.

I’m not even a parent and I don’t want this. It’s just an unnecessary mechanic to punish casual players for no reason at all. It doesn’t add anything to the game.

Yes, I don’t like mechanics that happen while the game is turned off. It’s unnecessary. I keep reading from players who are defending this mechanic that it’s so easy to get several days or almost a month of water supply in just a few hours of gameplay. But if it’s so easy to get the water why not just remove the mechanic? They wouldn’t even notice and everyone else wouldn’t have to play with this FOMO mechanic.

This looks so cool and I love that it is PvE but this water level mechanic kills the whole game for me. I don’t want to play a game that makes me lose my progression when I’m not actively playing it. If they change this I will consider buying it but the developers seem to be pretty hellbent on keeping this mechanic unfortunately. Maybe they will change their tune in a few weeks when they notice that they can’t keep players around.

Let’s hope it won’t be a chromium browser.

I wonder if Mozilla could’ve been Proton

I wonder if Proton will someday in the future add a browser to the tools they offer.

Calling Creation Engine Gamebryo Engine is like calling Unreal Engine 5 Unreal Engine 1. Almost no part of both engines are alike anymore after so many years of development. And Creation Engine can do so many things that other engines can’t do like their easy and simple modability or stuff like how the engine remembers where every item in the world is regardless of if the player put it somewhere else. This notion that Bethesda RPGs would be 10 times better if they would just use another engine is so stupid.

ESO is also almost 10x older than Diablo 4.

It tries to install the associated package when given a path to a configuration file.

I wish Firefox for Android had the option to set reader mode to follow system theme like the desktop version.

About time. Maybe they will finally be able to compete with DLSS and XeSS in terms of quality.

I think Germany also has above average market share of Firefox.
