  • Why liberals, people of color and LGBTQ Americans say they're buying guns

  • What kind of bat shit crazy analogy is that? ...but I'm pretty confident the people killed in the holocaust would rather guns never existed.

  • YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs

  • The only competitor I could see YouTube getting is if Twitch decided to chase that route. The only companies with the global infrastructure required for a service as fast as YouTube's are Amazon, Microsoft (and Google).

    Microsoft gave up on Mixer, so I don't see them ever trying to take on YouTube. Amazon have Twitch, which as mentioned, could try to take on YouTube. But even with owning their own servers and just running them at cost, it would be a massive undertaking and investment.

    There's a tremendous amount of work to do, that these companies are not going to throw money at for decades just to compete for YouTube's profit margins, which apparently aren't that big (if they even exist).

    Sites can exist alongside YouTube, We see a lot of smaller video hosting sites, like Dailymotion, but something would have to go seriously wrong at YouTube for any of them to grow meaningfully and become actual competitors.

    I'd like a competitor as much as anybody, but I'm just being realistic here. Don't underestimate the size of YouTube.

  • I dont think anyone will rival youtube, pornhubs infrastructure is no where near youtubes, like at all.

  • It's not like its going to help anyway. If you defend yourself from the crazies, ICE, whatever, you are just going to get shot anyway by someone else. They want that excuse. Being armed only really matters if a civil war breaks out. Its a crazy dynamic, which is why guns should be banned in the first place.

  • This should be mandatory by law. Touch screens should not exist in cars for drivers.

  • Valve casually gut Counter-Strike's billion dollar skins market with a "small update"

  • I think it'll settle after a while, covert items will come back down in price. Really good change from Valve. Though removing MTX entirely would be preferable.

  • Why would I buy this?

    Jump

  • They dont want people buying the old games, even their 15 year old ones are still full price on purpose. They want you in the latest game each year, exposed to all the predatory extra-transactions, then they want you to do that again the next year and the next and the next... the games are not priced like that because they "forgot", it's a business strategy.

  • Why would I buy this?

    Jump

  • AAA is just cash grab, they haven't been good or innovative games for a long, long time now. They are very good at marketing to the masses though and they have the pricing tiers laid out perfectly to extract as much money from people as they can.

    They start off with their massive price tag like $70-80, plus the deluxe editions for $100-120 for any suckers who want a fucking extra skin. Then after a couple months when sales slow down, they put it on sale for like 20% off, then a couple months more, its like 40% off and so on. DLC has kind of fallen off, as they get people stuck in the battle pass and cosmetic buying loop instead (people are crazy).

    If a AAA game looks interesting to you at all, you are literally best just waiting a few months or more, it's a win-win, you either buy it it's actual value or you get the reviews that its a disgusting broken mess or was completely over-hyped (it's these last two 99% of the time).

    Steam sales are for getting them older games a bit cheaper, good indie games are worth their price tag multiple times over honestly so unless you are tight on money, I'd support the developer regardless of sales.

  • Why would I buy this?

    Jump

  • I wish Steam would put the 3rd-party requirements nice and obvious above the buy button. Along with "uses AI content", "in-app purchases" and "always online requirement" banners too. And more too, every game should be shamed before users get to the buy button.

  • It's a Proton VPN service, where they hop you through multiple servers. I guess OP assumes this is a thing for all VPNs? Or they are calling servers, VPNs.But they are testing between different Proton VPN servers, one with "Secure Core" and one without.

  • Yeah, I can see it working until they come up with some workaround. Like you can buy currency, trade it as much as you want, but then that is used to buy cometics. So probably best to just ban the sale of it altogether.

  • Ban it all then. I'd personally ban all extra transactions in games to be honest, but we can start with removing virtual currency.
