The economics of our world are completely controlled by middle-men. This is how much power we have delegated to them. There is no free market, just a series of publisher deals that put producers of value into a casino to decide if they get compensated for their labour.
That’s a fair point. I used a HOTAS, the Logitech Saitek X52 which the in-game ship controls are modelled after, which was the most immersive way to play.
The new on-foot FPS gameplay that they added with Odyssey didn’t get first class VR support. You can keep your headset on, but you have to switch to a regular control method and control the game as though it’s on a 2D monitor even though you’re wearing a 6DOF headset with motion controls available. For anyone that’s played VR, this is the worst kind of experience and very disappointing.
Making first-class VR controls is a lot of extra work, probably, but for a game that was sold as a flagship VR title when the original Oculus came out, it just leaves a bad taste for all the VR players, who felt like FDev were leaving them behind.
Maybe they’ve added better support now, but I wouldn’t know about that as I haven’t played it. On release it was a disappointment for VR players.
There aren’t any, thats the point I’m making. Petitions produce sample bias that excludes the opinions of people who don’t want their legal name and home address printed on a document that might get passed around God-knows-where.
To sign, you must provide a set of personal data, which is required by the authorities of your country for verification purposes. Specific measures are in place to ensure the protection of your data. See our privacy statement.
Perhaps if signing a petition didn’t require doxxing yourself then more people would sign.
I realize that it’s to prevent fake signatures and allow verification that the signatories are residents of the jurisdiction under petition, but this method inherently creates a sampling bias.
In the same vein as age verification, we need a solution for digital attestation that preserves anonymity and privacy. There are some initiatives in this direction, so perhaps we will get there some day.
