Require is a strong word. The box set with five CDs needed it to install, but it could be uninstalled afterwards according to the Greybeards from that time.

Most were, but there was one version that didn’t use Steam. It’s probably worth a lot of money, if you could find one that was unopened.

HL2 actually had an edition that came on disks that didn’t require Steam.

the question wasn’t whether or not they engaged in dubious practices though. you can be a paragon of righteousness and still have a monopoly over something.

Battle.net didn’t have a storefront until 2013, two years after Skyrim became the first AAA game to launch exclusively on Steam. Steam launched in 2003 and by 2005 was selling games from other developers. Games for Windows didn’t launch until 2007. Stardock only ever sold software published by one corporation.

so yeah, those options didn’t exist for years after Steam, like I said. I appreciate you providing good examples to prove my point tho.

they got there by having the only storefront. by the time alternatives showed up, Steam already had millions of users just from being the only choice for years.

the meme says that, AFTER they asked. why would they demand she name a song in the first place? what about her made them think she couldn’t?

Is it though?

tell me, looking at the picture, why would the author assume the person pictured wouldn’t know a song from megadeath?

the meme is implying women can’t be real fans.

much like his wax figure, his AI chatbot also seems more human than he does

I’m just imagining the millions of taxpayer money that they are going to waste running around trying to enforce this. 🤣

Idk, according to the source below your comment, you are absolutely misrepresenting what they said. They weren’t even talking about CSAM when they said that. I feel like there are so many things to criticize him for that you don’t need to outright lie.

I just installed the DODI version in Lutris. worked out of the box without any additional steps.

I’ve used Heroic, yes. Heroic is not suitable for pirated games. Lutris is. I do not care about the dev using genAI, the app works fine and I will continue to happily use it as long as it works. I am not interested in Bottles or other alternatives.

ok then. I will.

I’d rather not use either. Lutris and pirated games all the way.

A whole nation of genocidal maniacs. Just as racist and murderous as the Nazis.

That would likely be .mobi, which had been deprecated for years. In fact, when I had an Oasis years ago, and I emailed it books I had downloaded, it would refuse them unless they were .epub format.

(Yes, you read that right. Each Kindle has an email address where you can mail your books bought elsewhere.)

I imagine that after several years post .mobi, they are finally done providing that format for older kindles that don’t support .epub. It sucks for the people who use the old Kindles, but all e-readers these days, Amazon made or otherwise, prefer .epub as well, so it makes sense that they wouldn’t continue to support an old format indefinitely.

Yes, that’s the problem, thank you for stating the obvious, you truly are an intellectual.

so the only thing we disagree on is whether or not we’ve reach the last resort?
