Only the initial installation that means the uninstaller is leaving permanent traces on the system. Thank you very much

If they wanted to just give the monopoly to Unreal Engine and be directed on a path to irrelevance, they could just placed a banner on their website “please use Epic Unreal Engine”. Much easier than enraging devs and tracking all the installs via internet (Tracking gamers without consent can be legal in Europe?)

20 cents per install is insane especially for old games bundled with other stuff when they got pennies

Also on Android theoretically it’s not possible to distinguish new installs from reinstalls unless you’re using some kind of exploit like dummy images with tracking data saved in Pictures like taobao/AliExpress is doing

while i think that two years of prison for this is completely ridiculous, a “let’s play” video of a visual novel, it’s essentially the same of “playing” a visual novel

Root and myandroidtools. You then go to that specific app, list all the activities it can do, then disable any which has a name related to ads like “adsActivity”. At that point it can’t show full screen ads at all.

Some games they give you the reward immediately but nowadays the ad SDKs they can check if the ad was shown or not so it gives an error

What the fuck is this ad? “It solves problems”

I wouldn’t install Ms office even if it was free

Why would someone pay for a stolen msdn key when could get it for free with massgrave?

That would work only in the console (or Apple) world where you can control who and how can access the data. Otherwise someone will stick it to an USB 1.1 hub connected to the USB 2.0 port for the mouse and then complain “the game is unbearably slow!!!”

Plus I don’t think anyone would want to pay $150 for a game (no, you can’t use a $10 USB drive for this)

It happens when investment funds buy software houses thinking they got a goose that can lay golden eggs. So they layoff everyone and outsource support, thinking idiot users will continue to buy a new update license every year where the changelog is a different icon and three new bugs. Actual development died two decades ago but pricing increase every year to make up for “lost” sales

Fuck KKR

It’s an investment fund that has that behavior

That’s my uncle! He has an half dozen rusty cars with broken engine in his garden and refuses to sell for sane prices. He always complains the retirement money is not enough for a living, but can’t get rid of that trash. My mom found someone wanting to buy one of those for 3000 euro, he said “but you can see listings for 50k for this car”. Dude, 50k is for museum-grade collectible car, and a listing doesn’t mean that will actually sell for that price.

So we dread for the day he dies as we will need to pay someone to dispose all that trash

On the bright side it will eventually make emulators more accurate

Wait so it costs like a PSP but it can’t do anything without WiFi and another ps5 active on the network?

Seems insanely expensive for what this is

PSP and PS Vita allowed remote play but also could work standalone

the article not only says

games that are streamed through PlayStation Plus Premium’s cloud streaming, are not supported

but also says

Games that must be streamed on PS5 using a PS Plus Premium membership are not compatible

hopefully it can be hacked and reconfigured to be used with a PC, so i can get it for $50 when they will do the fire sale (i still regret not having bought the ps tv when they got rid for all the stock at 20 euro)

Very nice and seems fast

In the next weeks I’ll go in an authoritarian country so I can test if it works good

Seems trustworthy even if free, but if using for p2p it’s a bit abusing them, maybe donate a bit via liberapay

There’s Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft Teams is for consumers and is the one preinstalled in Windows 11

Then there’s Microsoft Teams. It’s for business. Is completely incompatible with the other Microsoft Teams and is a separate app.

The icon is also “different”. One has the Microsoft teams logo in white on a purple background, the other has the Microsoft teams logo in purple on a white background (forgot which and which)

I really don’t understand why they don’t use the Skype branding for the consumer version. They forgot how many billions they paid for that?

Their reason is: people is using g2a for “discounted” keys.

Where the “discount” comes? Easy, some asshole buys from their website many keys with a stolen credit card, then they will need to refund it + pay an expensive fee for the chargeback.

I’m not a dev but at that point I would just give up selling keys by myself and I would just rely on steam for fraud detection. The only case where the 30% fee is justified

They lost $6600 in chargebacks and g2a was running an ad campaign using their name on Google

Are you sure? My stripe merchant account still mentions the 15 euro chargeback fee and now in my country is easier to ask for a chargeback, can do at the phone while before you needed to send a registered snail mail at a secret address with the right timing using a secret form, while sending a copy of the police report via fax

Luckily I never had a chargeback, I meant I still saw it in the fees
