The games that sit at the top of the player counts are almost always multiplayer competitive games. In a lot of ways, there’s been nearly 0 movement in the space at all since covid. The same games are still right there at the top because no new massively multiplayer game has released to top them. FPS players play CoD, Apex, Fortnite and Pubg, Dota is massive in Asian countries, GTA V has a huge cult following (check out its twitch category).

Satisfactory being top 10 is an outlier rather than the norm, being a single player game.

I agree with the other commenter who said that players of these games consider themselves players of Apex/CoD/Pubg before they consider themselves overall gamers. That’s the case with me now, and I rarely launch anything outside of CoD or Apex as I have little to no interest in single player games.

GT7 makes sense. There needs to be some barrier to make sure people know how to drive the cars without just immediately jumping into the game.

Tutorials under 1hr are ok. Once they go over that I stop playing.

Street pass was the shit. I remember taking my DS to school to get as many hits as possible. Now with the age of portable gaming handhelds it’s kinda crazy nobody has created some kind of open street pass service.

Probably hashing and scanning any uploaded media against some of the known DBs of CSAM hashes.

Iirc that’s how Reddit/FB/Insta/Etc. handle it

9/10 times I’m one of them. I stopped wanting unnecessary complexity in my tech towards the end of my teenage years. I’m much happier now with solutions that just work 100% of the time with no extra effort. The average person doesn’t want or need to know how their tech works. It just needs to work

Still doesn’t mean they were baited. They attacked an independent nation and got what they deserved.

That’s my take on it too. It’s a token post saying to do it, but we’re going to denounce you if you’re called out.

Russia was not baited into a war. They attacked a sovereign nation and expected no resistance.

This is why it’s a good thing that LW is defederating.

Honestly I really don’t like that model. I only subscribe to communities I am active in and all is just porn spam. Local is 100% the best way to browse right now.
