- Comment on Indie dev defends criticism of Steam refund abuse amid review bombing of his game: 'It's wrong to refund a game after having fun with it and completing it' 11 hours ago:
You can trust cracked games if you do your research on release groups etc. As I Arch user, I’m more afraid of AUR than most cracked games tbh. Not at all worried if the game is from a trusted release with a good track record. Some of these groups as been at it for decades now.

What if I private the game? Am I also a sociopath for doing that?
- Comment on French village is switching their computers to Linux. They will no longer purchase Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Office 11 hours ago:
No, I don’t think so. But it’s based on only office which does have a desktop offline client version without the need for hosting a backend server. Havent researched enough to say for sure. Just read through a few news articles and the GitHub page (the cognitive dissonance with this project - great idea, yet host om MS service and uses MS docx formats…).

Oh that’s pretty neat projects. Wonder if Germany, Netherlands and France will go with this over euro office.

Valid but glhf with your PS3 emulator on steam deck

Whilst I have always been a playstation guy, I find that it all changed with the Xbox 360 vs PS3 war. Xbox 360 had some of the best games and ports. Xbox live was waaaay ahead of Sony for a long time. Basically started the indie scene for consoles.

Not a valve fan but they don’t shut down their online services since they let people run servers. TF2.and CSGO are good examples. Hell, you can even use all the skins for free on private servers.

I don’t care at all. When I play cs2, I get a new case and shit skin every week. I sell the case for a few euro cents and trade up the shit skins to rarer skins that I sell. I make money playing cs2.
If people are stupid enough to get caught up in gambling, it’s on them.
- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 5 months ago:
In many ways I agree but the point of not being able to use expansion packs across platforms is a kind of lock in. I wish more tech companies were like Valve for sure, but they too need to be kept on check.
- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 5 months ago:
Sounds good. Valve are doing a lot of things right but I often find that they go under the radar when compared to similar stories around Google and Apple.

While this is awesome we still need to have the same performance on Windows. Yes, some games run better through proton for some reason, but that’s the minority. Hopefully, proton will not be needed for new games in the future and we get native builds like CS2.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes 9 months ago:
Exactly. I don’t get why people even cares about what this dude is saying. Dont like the game? Refund it ffs.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 9 months ago:
Stupid comment indeed but this is the gamer community as we know - thet feel SO entitled.
Listen, you can try the game for two hours and get a refund on steam. If you didn’t notice the performance issues on your rig within those two hours, well, what’s the problem? If did notice, then why didn’t you just refund on get on with your life? It’s because of this crazy feeling od entitlement thet gamers seem to have. Whenever something doesn’t live up to their arbitrary standards, the world must burn.
I don’t like BL games and I don’t like poorly optimized games. Doesn’t run like I wanted to? Fine, I refund, maybe try when I upgrade my hardware and the game is on sell. Lots more of these incoming because developers not being able to work with UE5 without optimization issues, e.g. the new Metal gear remake). Also, I know nothing about how devs deal game optimization.

Communists? Really? There is quite a gap between being leftist (which in itself is a term that generalizes multiple ideological position and political views. Look to my home country Denmark and see how many left leaning parties exists. None of them are Communists btw). Sorry if this comes off as arrogant, but are you from the US? I ask because I often see US citizen use this overgeneralization and seem lack knowledge on the difference between e.g. socialism and communism.

Yes, thought the same but have a quick look at this: scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=WLN3QrAAA… Seems about right? But yeah, must be advising lots of students or something. He is rarely the first, second or even third author on the papers.
