They knocked off kurzgesagt’s style and made it look so clickbaity. So gross.

I’ll defend Infographics here. These guys do a great job with their content IMO. Yes, the titles and thumbnails are always kinda cringe but they have been putting out good stuff consistently for years and do so without AI. They always get shit for their titles but the content itself is way better than what you’d expect usually.
k0e3@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
That’s good to know that they aren’t just using AI to mimic Kurzgesagt and that their content is legit. Thanks.
I might give them a try but I really can’t stand clickbait titles and thumbnails to the point I just disregard them outright in a futile effort to discourage such behaviour.

Interesting to note. I saw they were ripping off the kurzgesagt style and blocked the channel immediately. If they are legit I may check them out.

and people wonder how steam does so well.

Steam has the exact same setup, you don’t own anything there either. It is all perpetual limited licenses. The only difference is that Steam has so far kept up the illusion of ownership.
This should be legally disallowed, “Buy” means ownership.

You are both correct. I’ll usually double buy my favourites. One of steam early on, especially for Linux compatibility ease, then on gog years later on sale.

Don’t you get the game files on steam tho?

There has to come a point with this shit where you just roll your eyes and blame the people who were dumb enough to invest in this shit, again.
thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yup. I point anyone interested to slsk. I share 7000 movies on there, couple hundred series, 4000k songs. Nzb and newshosting is also very nice.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yep. I’ve had so many digital CDs and game downloads I’ve bought on Amazon (not recently, long time ago), and amazon basically went “Welp, we’re not carrying this shit anymore, fuck you its gone” so all the games I paid for, gone and can no longer access.
All the music I paid for, gone and can no longer access.
Digital downloads are a scam, digital goods are not owned goods as long as you need to have it on someone elses server.

Just to save you a click and a minute… they’re talking about certain games on the Luna cloud service. NOT your Kindle library or anything else.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Not mine. I’ve got my library locally.

Any tldr? I hate watching a video of something that, probably, can be summarized in a single fucking paragraph.
I’m also not always able to watch videos compared to just reading an article

On June 10th any game purchases people made through Amazon’s Luna service will be removed. On June 3rd they’re ending the “bring your own library” feature where you could link to certain outside accounts (GOG, etc.) and get those to stream on Luna.

Say what you will about Stadia, but at least Google gave everyone full refunds when that shut down.

So people have “90 days” to what? Play the games? Before they disappear?

This is where blockchains can be useful.

I agree. YouTube thumbnail is absolute clickbait cancer, now with AI to make it more abhorrent
atro_city@fedia.io 2 weeks ago
If you can't be bothered to watch or find an article yourself, I can't be bothered to summarise 🤷♂️
Mpatch@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah let’s just give more views to YouTube. Shut the fuck up with your shit attitude bud.
foggy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Nobody asked you to not summarize, but here you are.
ieGod@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
This is such a dumb ass take. Without the context or summary finding info is going to be a crap shoot and potentially a waste of time. Meanwhile the person posting the vid, who has the context, could simply provide some of that in non-video form. Even just a one line summary.
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
not to mention a video with such an offensive thumbnail
