I don’t see mass amount of comments insulting you, but I do see you being unusually hostile from the get go as though wanting confrontation. So not surprising people aren’t receptive to the tone in terms of voting, but all things considered not seeing toxic discourse in response.

So I don’t know. I guess it might help to present things in a more calm manner? Unless that suggestion itself is what is considered toxic.

Yeah I don’t think GOG has removed delisted games from users libraries.

Unfortunately it did happen to Oxenfree on itch instead of letting people who bought it retain access to download it after delisting. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/adventure/another-reminder-that-your-digital-library-isn-t-forever-oxenfree-will-be-completely-removed-from-itch-io-next-month/

There’s people who will explain why it is done, and use it as an excuse why it is okay because that’s the rules of the game. Seen it way too many times from apologists. Heck the comment I responded to went about how they give this guy credit and can’t blame the guy for doing it.

That goes from explanation to excuses once they started providing an opinion on the behaviour. So that no one is making excuses isn’t right.

So it shows other companies are short term thinking focusing more on quarter profits, and also explains why they missed put on two console generations worth of time to make a dent in the PC space when the industry was claiming PC was dying.

It’s always excuses and lack of willingness to take risks on plans that might not pan out immediately. Then when it becomes successful from another company excuse is what is the market share in the present.

Yet other store platforms like epic, gog, blizzard, origin, and uplay don’t bother supporting Linux and are content with Microsoft.

So as much of a survival tactic it might be it would seem any other company wouldn’t bother and still aren’t.

I’ve just heard so many of the same excuses for even scummier people over the years of always shifting the blame to justify whatever is necessary to get the bag. The excuses seem ever less convincing.

To his credit, at least he admits this. It’s not like he’s hiding his strategy. He just does whatever will push him to the top of the algorithms and keep viewers engaged.

I’m sick of that excuse. The whole I’m dumb or I don’t know or it’s for the algorithm excuses people make to try and deflect criticism. Guess I’ve just seen to many people of prominence use that excuse one to many times over the years.

Showing the importance of sustainable business models over the throw your entire budget at everything then end up firing hundreds and thousands of employees while giving bonuses to executives because the quarterly earnings weren’t as high approach that lot of publicly traded companies have moved towards.

I wish portable devices went back to being made with toolless battery swapping in mind like the old game boys.

Obsidian is my main notetaking app, so I use the kanban plugin to keep a list of games I’m playing, plan to play, and finished.

Syncthing has been so helpful in making me move away from cloud based options. And to think only reason I found out about it and gave it a shot was because I was trying to figure out how to easily sync my non Steam game save files between my Desktop and my Steam Deck. It’s been invaluable since then.
