Yes, and there's an irony to it. That doesn't change that it's cruel and absolutely not something that should be happening even to the worst people out there, regardless of how much we hate them or if it's exactly what they were pushing to make even worse.
Like I said downthread, I wasn't really looking at derailing this thread by starting a debate, but to clarify my position, the industry as it exists today collapsing is entirely okay with me. I'd be happy to live in a world where all games were freely distributed public domain solo endeavors, small collaborations, and the rare larger (but still not this large, likely) productions organized as public works or naturally-occurring oddities.
This is not bait, I truly believe that all non-private art and information should be freely available to all for any purpose and liberating it is always a good thing. I'll leave your report unresolved for another mod to weigh in on, but I'm not looking for an argument and gave a minimal response precisely because I did not want to encourage shit-flinging.
Deeply frustrating to see. Their only sin in my book is selling it instead of freely distributing it, something Bethesda is equally guilty of. I only hope they make it out of this okay.
It's really satisfying having someone to share your collection with. I moved in with my now-fiancée late last year and it's so fun watching it grow to suit us both. Currently still using Plex since there isn't a Jellyfin client for the Xbox One and we have yet to get a Shield or something else superior to it, and I don't feel like figuring out the networking side of things until we're at our next apartment.
It's a FOSS alternative to Plex, if you're familiar with that. Less like a tv channel, more like a streaming service you populate yourself.
From what Madison said it sounds like it goes far too deep for this to change much. I hope things get better (since it's unlikely LTT just up and disappears immediately), but from what we've seen this culture of dismissal goes right to the top.
I was willing to watch along and hope they do better with the initial stuff from GN since it was ultimately junk food entertainment for me, but at this point fuck them and I hope the innocent people there get away and end up okay.
I don't even think he's pulling it out as an intentional tactic, I get the feeling he legitimately wants to be a good guy and is barely able to handle the suggestion that he isn't acting like one. Just a fragile ego and self-image.
Eh, I'd say the difference between selling it for themselves and for charity is meaningful. One seems like a play for dollars taking advantage of their connections while the other just sounds like a communication fuckup where the ones taking care of the block weren't in contact with the ones making promises to return it. Neither is good, of course, but to someone outside the situation they do impact my view of the company differently.
Regardless, the main issue is their absurd pace and he doesn't address that at all. I hope their new CEO is more willing to budge on that than Linus has been, but it's too early to tell.
Honestly they look way cooler with feathers. Older models of how dinosaurs looked were so bland by comparison.
No, but it's coming. Near as I can tell Gallery is the only one with a new release already and I'm grabbing it using Obtainium.
