I like fiddling. Sometimes i fiddle and then never actually use what I was fiddling with once it’s working. But even I would gladly welcome not needing to fiddle at all.
Sony and Nintendo are the only ones still doing console exclusives. Sony only cherry pick what they release elsewhere. Even if this handheld doesn’t have specific exclusives for it itself (if it is for playing games you can play on ps4/5 and nothing else) it still has value in the sense that it’s still a handheld and can be played anywhere rather than tethered to a tv or monitor.
I can’t think of any other devices that have apps in the same sense where other developers can also release their apps as long as there is a cut for the platform holder where there is no other legal alternative to get apps elsewhere.
The only examples I can think of are games consoles, but they are seemingly next on the chopping block. I think the only thing that has stopped that from happening as soon as the apple one is the fact that for the majority of games, you can still get them physically elsewhere at prices that aren’t completely dictated by the platform holder.
This is the kind of update and transparency I needed to see. I was one of those that were disappointed at seeing stardew get more and more updates, seemingly putting HC on the shelf. But I understand his reasons and the urges/duty that brought them about.
Looking forward to this game but I also, like others, don’t need it rushed out. I just wanted to know that it was actually still being worked on and not cancelled quietly. Him talking about his attachment to the world and characters has definitely got me more excited, as that will likely give it the same charm as stardew seeing his heart seems to be in it the same way.
The apple thing wasn’t about apple vs android for a monopoly. It was about how there’s no alternative option on ios for purchasing apps. Android is completely irrelevant to that decision.
Does the image have a source? Also I don’t think just revenue some us the only Barometer for a monopoly. If something has very few users but had really high prices that they’re willing to pay for them by your metric they’d be closer to a monopoly than steam
Yeah it’s not like valve or any of the other companies that sell games on steam too. They’ll all have your data and some what people think are so dastardly, (when in reality it’s just grown-ups playing with numbers).
Epic games launcher is no where best as bad as anyone says. The storefront is also one of most responsive ones, especially compared to the likes of GOG.
For me, I just buy a game wherever it’s cheapest. Like I got satisfactory on epic because I could get it like £15 cheaper than steam.
Like I don’t understand why people are so irked by a steam alternative. It’s not like it requires new hardware to play it’s exclusives like with consoles. Aren’t we all supposed to be against monopolies, steam needs competition, look at how shit its sales have been for like 10 years now compared to what they were like prior.
Yeah the “virtual wii” mode is just running on what is a slightly better wii chipset. It can even run triforce arcade games because of that slightly better power. So it can run anything the wii can, which includes GameCube.
