- Comment on Ghosted After a Job Interview? Report the Company 5 days ago:
So then isn’t the reverse also true?
- Comment on Ghosted After a Job Interview? Report the Company 5 days ago:
But it’s not, because you got a job, and thus are no longer interested/eligible.
- Comment on Ghosted After a Job Interview? Report the Company 5 days ago:
I do notify those that gave me an offer
And the ones that didn’t?
- Comment on Ghosted After a Job Interview? Report the Company 5 days ago:
Every company does this. So this will be great if you want a database of companies that exist.
When you get a job, do you go back and notify all the companies that you interviewed with? Because I don’t.
My advice: get as many interviews as you can. When you’re done, forget about them and move on to the next one.
- Comment on Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds 1 week ago:
Yeah I don’t think there is a legal precedent in place for this sort of scenario. Ya know, the one where the President unilaterally demands an illegal tariff and the various departments all comply, but then someone tells them the illegal thing is obviously illegal and now they have refund all the tariffs they took.

It’s not at all “no matter what”. They have to be worth it.

I wouldn’t really use 60$ as a low price, but that’s beside the point.
You’re talking about capping game prices at a relatively “low” price, and I think you knew what I meant.
Your missing the trees for the forest. It’s not the low price, but setting a line which one does not cross.
I’m not missing anything. I’m saying setting a line makes no sense because not every game has the same amount of content.
Not having that line and constantly accepting every subsequent new mechanic to extract more profit from us has resulted in the current state of AAA gaming industry.
The gaming industry pricing has been virtually unchanged since inception. If anything, it’s because consumers refuse to pay more that games suck now, because publishers rely on DLCs and relentlessly harassing consumers to buy mtx.
Though where would you draw the line?
I don’t draw a line anywhere. That’s what I’m trying to explain to you. As I said, it’s entirely dependent on the content of the game.
If they launch Control Resonant for $100 I would pay it because it’s my favorite franchise of all time and I’ve gotten hundreds of hours of enjoyment out of it.

A point from which onward one no longer accepts any further abuse.
A higher price does not mean abuse. It very well could just mean its a higher quality game with more content.
or else we do get current climate of AAA games riddled with mtx, psychological manipulation, getting more expensive yearly, no longer any long term guarantees either, while gameplay, story and performance quality dropping as well.
How does a low price stop that from happening? If anything it’s the opposite.

A random bluesky post is not a study

And you returned it and demanded a physical copy?

The corporation always has the upper hand because the customer CAN ONLY buy what the corporation is OFFERING to sell
Absolutely not correct, because the opposite is also true. The corporation can only still what the consumer is offering to buy.

There shouldn’t be an arbitrary “line in the sand” for games. Just like there shouldn’t be for any other product. Because products are not all the same. Some games might take an hour to beat and others have endless replayability and it shouldn’t be expected that these all cost the same.

Reminds me which platform FDroid works on. And Obtainium. And Accrescent. And Epic Games Store. And Amazon store.

Why don’t you go ahead and do that and come back with some links.

No one owns the Android landscape either
- Comment on EA VP Urges Companies To Think About In-Game Ads During Development: ‘That’s A Huge Opportunity’ 1 week ago:
I know they exist but I can’t be bothered to sort through the mountains of garbage to find them.
- Comment on EA VP Urges Companies To Think About In-Game Ads During Development: ‘That’s A Huge Opportunity’ 1 week ago:
I never got into Android gaming because 90% of it is adware. If the PC landscape turns into this, you can bet your ass I’ll stop playing that as well.

- Comment on id Software insists in new statement that it still has "the crew we need to build the games and tech we're known for" 2 weeks ago:
Exactly. You expect us to believe you laid off half your workforce and your games will be completely unimpacted? Either you had terrible management and a ton of completely unnecessary employees or (more likely) you’re lying.

Was there something you wanted to add?
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
I have tried it. It doesn’t work.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
None of them are DRM free. Every game requires the Steam client to download, launch, and play. Stop spreading this nonsense.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
I look at the choices that people overwhelmingly make.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
It is in the sense that you can’t play the games without it.

All of them

I would like to think people cared about that but I don’t think it’s true.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
Steam itself is DRM
