Its kind of ironic that all you’re thinking about is money while these modders are doing it for the love of the craft. Sure everyone would love to see a paid release of Skyblion on Steam like Valve allowed with Black Mesa, but the modders are building this regardless.

What is the point of this cynical comment in this context. Everyone is winning here.

Nothing? What about the development and free public release of the Creation Kit?

This whole comment thread sucks lol. The top reaction literally just says “go away”. Talk about wannabe authoritarian tankies

Lmao what is Synology smoking. I have used their hardware in the past, now I’m so glad that I chose a Nextcloud setup for my home storage solution.

Also why does the nonsense reasoning for these limitations always include “security”. That’s a rhetorical question btw, I know they are just making shit up.

This comment by Frodo Douchebaggins in the Ars Technica comments sums up my newfound disrespect for Synology pretty well:

Suck a turd, you enshittifying sons of bitches.

They’ll have to pay for the cellular connection themselves because I’m not gonna enter my wifi password into the tv lol. Been using a pc hooked up to the screen for ages. Screw “smart tv” features, slow and inconvenient as hell.

This is not the tally that the article is talking about though

Maybe it also counts transactions from the Steam Market? I also found my TotalSpend hard to believe, but it’s also not like I’ve traded hundreds of dollars worth of items in the market.

The description of the support page notes that these values are used to determine some sort of limited user account status. It might not be intended to keep an accurate tally. I wouldn’t be surprised if these values are only available due to gdpr and accuracy of the description was not a priority when they set it up. I’m implying that the employee who wrote the description might not have understood the value precisely enough.

But who knows. I could just be huffing copium about my game expenses 😅

Wow that defamation lawsuit against Karl Jobst is spicy. I’m pretty sure I saw that video a long long time ago. 350k is a giant fine, I wonder if YouTube pays that well. This is what you get for purposely misrepresenting something for a better story I guess.

I’m not against patents in general but looking at the list of specific insanity-induced hallucinations being patented this whole thing is ridiculous. This is on the level of being able to patent giving your restaurant guests cutlery. How is any designer supposed to keep track of which specific micro events are patented like this.

If Mario is 100x more expensive than it needs to be, and there are millions of games that are just as good for a dime, you don’t buy Mario.

Facebook and YouTube weren’t as good at recommending things back then. It’s not the internet as a whole that’s the problem, it’s what social media has become. Addiction skinner boxes. It’s not ok for kids to grow up using that.
