I agree that forced exclusivity is bad. I absolutely disagree with your statement that ubisoft store was better than steam, I don’t even understand how you can say something like that. But yes, without the games any store is worthless.

You didn’t respond to my question though, so I’ll repeat it: even if someone was able to launch a product with feature parity to steam, why would anyone migrate?

I was gonna comment about epic giving games away for free, but I think I got your point. You mean like the same releases, but subsidizing, say, 10% of the price?

Assuming that a company could hope to achieve a store front with similar features in a few years instead of the 21 that steam had, why would anyone migrate there?

I’m on the same page as you, it’s tough. I have no idea how any other platform can really achieve competitor status with steam, and this is a big problem for us consumers and for developers.

Big change for me was stop using “name.lastname@email.com”, I was giving that info to so many random ass websites and app and services. Just create another email and connect that with your “main” one, that’s trivial to do with gmail.

Search for your name on images and see if anything comes up. If yes, try to clean that up. It’s usually profile pictures in services.

Don’t leave your strava profile public. It’s crazy to me that people do that. I don’t want even my friends knowing where and when I exercised.

On the same topic, make sure your facebook photos and connections aren’t visible to non-friends. It’s insane the amount of people who just put everything out there for anyone to see.

That’s great news tbh. I’ve tried going back to the game multiple times over the years, but since you can’t reset your progess/start a new save, I get overwhelmed by everything and give up.

I upvoted before the image loaded.

For me it’s about the customer service. I stayed in 30 airbnbs in 2 years and when I needed Airbnb, they fully sided with the host who was lying and faked chat screenshots, didn’t bother to get any proof from my side and just penalised me.

On the other hand, with Booking, I always felt fully supported by customer service.

I’ll only use airbnb if there’s absolutely no other option. It’s a liability, even more for longer stays.

I bought the Zenfone 10 for those reasons and I’m pretty happy with it. I’m not going to buy a Samsung again.

I use brave search by default.

Chapter 5 in RDR2, what were they thinking.

All you had to do was follow the damn train, cj!

hate it

Oh no that’s terrible. Which pharmacies are doing that so I know the ones to avoid?

Inscryption, there’s a reason it’s such a highly rated game on steam.

Inscryption is an inky black card-based odyssey that blends the deckbuilding roguelike, escape-room style puzzles, and psychological horror into a blood-laced smoothie. Darker still are the secrets inscrybed upon the cards…
