I just cancelled my premium subscription renewal last night. Get fucked Sony

And thus I canceled my premium plan. I barely play online as it is, if I want I’ll just go to steam.

Absolute bullshit of a price gouge

As a developer myself, I just find it funny as fuck that people just spout off about shit like this. clearly do not understand what they are talking about.

Imagine the support nightmare alone if the dev team is dismissed on release. For example, Baldur’s gate just released 1000+ bugfix patch 20-some days after release, good luck doing that with a brand new team.

Especially today with things like day1/week1 patches which have become the usual almost, cutting the dev team loose on release would just be wild from any informed perspective

You realize these studios operate in capitalist societies right?

The developers don’t deserve to be paid? Because that’s the crux of it, no sell no profit, no profit no workers. Bye bye studio and any future art because we all are trapped in this capitalist nightmare. Do their families not deserve to be supported for their work?

I’m struggling to understand the motivation of your comment. You seem upset that a studio that worked for many years paying many developers project managers artists etc to create this game is selling the result of their hard work and investments? Where do you think they got the funds to build their latest game? Perhaps from the previous games, content, merch they have produced and sold?

How exactly is a studio to function if they simply hand out their hard work for free? How exactly are they to hire quality people if they are unable to make a profit from their primary product, the games that the developers and artists pour their heart and souls into?

I mean, shit, yeah all information, art, everything should be able to exist without tying it to finance but that’s not the world we live in and it’s not the world these developers work in.

So… what’s your point??

Nobody has said that outside of some random comment but okay

If people are still playing within meta’s walls they are lost and won’t be leaving anytime soon.

But all my friends are on there! M-m-my followers!!!

They didn’t miss the boat, they straight up ignored it. Nothing has changed so why should their poorly reasoned decision?

Twitter did have real use and now it doesn’t. Who FUCKING cares???

What does X do that mastodon doesn’t? There is much mastodon can do that x can’t. Where is the problem, outside of having to use a different url than x.com? People are resilient as are their resistance movements.

They can survive a platform shift, there is no loss here.

Anything Twitter can do so can mastodon. Resistance movements can move forward without x with little issue. Twitter isn’t and never was special it was simply there at the right time. It’s not anymore and that’s okay because we are not helpless without some shit social media site.

Power to the people not corps.

Sounds like an improvement to me

Thanks!! I’m relatively new myself, although I’ve been off and on since the death of 3P on that other place. Trying to rebuild my collection of communities and such

Have you found an alt on lemmy for dnd memes?

you do realize in this regard google/Apple are two sides of the same coin right?

Attorney at laaaaaawwwwwwwwww

I don’t disagree but stolen is a bit of a stretch

Or content you have purchased and have now lost access too, or shit if you buy something at all you can ethically pirate it. You already paid!!

For VPN, I use mullvad which is quite reasonable in pricing and is quite good with speeds and such as well as privacy concerns.

Back when I used OS X for torrents I used an app called Transmission. Not sure if it still exists or if there are better alternatives these days. (Edit: transmission app’s website)

I can’t help when it comes to courses tho, you just need to find a torrent site like torrentleech or ipt or whatever that has the content you’re looking for.

I say learn about torrents first, don’t bother talking about what you want to torrent. Once you have a working understanding then go in search of the niche content you’re talking about here.

Feel free to ask me any torrent related questions

As a developer, I don’t see the issue?

They clearly didn’t cover username validation or at least to the extent of matching words, the devs fixed the problem within 40 minutes of the report (pretty great timing imo), and they have since implemented actions to avoid further issues.

What’s the fucking problem?? It’s still new as fuck, these things happen.
