HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App StoreEnglish92·3 months agoThe difference is availability of choice. On apple phones, Xbox, Nintendo, and PlayStation you are locked into a single source of software. On a PC there are myriad of game stores you can choose from. Sometimes you can even buy the software directly from the developer. Usually people are upset when this choice is taken away (for example epic exclusive games). Nobody would bat an eye if a developer offered their game on epic or their own platform with a ~20% discount compared to steam. But it is up to the developers to make their game available on any of the PC game stores.
In conclusion, steam is not a platform holder, they could charge whatever they wanted. If the markup was too high, you could simply choose to buy your games elsewhere. For most people, this 30% is worth it for the features and buyer protection that steam offers compared to other platforms.

I think that’s one of the dilemmas of westworld. William starts off as you describe: peaceful, not really wanting to hurt the hosts at first. But he’s kind of like a fish out of water. To me it seems heavily implied that the only ones able to afford to go to Westworld are the rich psychopaths who exploit their own environment for personal gain. And we also get a look at how William turns out by the end…

HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Games@lemmy.world•The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analystEnglish1·4 months ago$100 seems like a stretch to me as they have been giving the last game away for free several times on Epic. But who knows with the console crowd…

HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self hosted solution for phone photo backupEnglish2·7 months agoLuckily the app is generally (but not always) backwards compatible. It’ll just nag you to upgrade the server.

The app auto updates on your phone though, unless turned off.

Also localised search is pretty good for me too.

HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•The Verge raises a partial paywall: ‘It’s a tragedy that garbage is free and news is behind paywalls’English45·8 months agoIn this case the garbage is behind the pay wall then. Verge is all opinion pieces and cheap content nowadays anyway.
