There’s little business sense to make it exclusively for the current player base. You’d be risking wringing your customers dry. It HAS to attract new players and thus new income sources. If they can’t compete, then it’s not worth the time and money to create and maintain those tools. You compete with other companies in a space purely by investing your time and money in that space because anything spent is expected to eventually turn a profit.
They’ve admitted they have a problem with getting new players so everything they do needs to somehow draw in new players. Getting their current playerbase to create and buy/sell isn’t enough of a reason to create such tools especially if they don’t think they can match the experience of the other platforms, hence the technological competition. They need to be able to provide excellent tools and an excellent way to host and share creations to draw in creatives who could become new players.
Someone could reply to your comment saying they just follow their municipal guidelines and they could be doing more than someone with a long list of whatever because their government has implemented better climate action systems.
Grilling individuals on their personal contributions is unproductive because climate change is a systemic, societal issue that is beyond any individual.
The problem really is the servers. There was a golden day or 2 just after the 3.23 patch launched and before everyone jumped on after hearing about it where things were running so well. Right now the servers are overloaded with people back to check out the big patch and new players from ILW. When the servers get full and errors start building up is when things get nasty. Their server meshing in 4.0 can’t come soon enough.
I’ve been using arch for a while now and I always used Flatpaks for proprietary software that might do some creepy shit because Flatpaks are supposed to be sandboxed (e.g. Steam). And Flatpaks always worked flawlessly OOTB for me. AUR for things I trust. I’ve read on the internet how people prefer AUR over Flatpaks. Why? And...
Users who don’t want redundant dependencies will probably prefer AUR packages. It can also be nice to manage all the packages with just the helper app. I try to install the binaries of apps from the AUR if they’re available to avoid the long build times.
Alpha and beta aren’t really the same though. Alpha is meant to be unstable and feature incomplete while beta is supposed to be simply missing polish. For Alpha reviews to have real value they need to provide that context. Otherwise, it’s just an exercise for the reviewer
The Closed Alpha playtest isn’t an invitation to publicly review, it’s an invitation to playtest. They’re trying to gather data and feedback on an inherently feature-incomplete and unpolished game to help with development. There are going to be private channels for feedback and the playtest data itself is like feedback so public channels are redundant. Obviously Marvel is also just trying to dodge criticism, but that’s not a mutually exclusive reason.
As most of you know, HL3 is pretty much the most popular “vaporware” game out there. Something always rumored and in development, but never heard again after a certain point....
A CSIS officer’s allegation that she was raped repeatedly by a superior in agency vehicles set off a harassment inquiry, but also triggered an investigation into her that concluded the alleged attacks were a “misuse” of agency vehicles by the woman....
Am I reading this right? Officer gets raped by mentor in service vehicle multiple times. They file a complaint and an investigation is launched. A second investigation is triggered that finds that the officer getting raped while in a service vehicle counts as her using the service vehicle to conduct a romantic relationship?
Well I guess she shouldn’t have gotten raped huh. At very least if she was going to get raped it shouldn’t have been in a service vehicle.
Like the other commenter I also had wildly flickering frames. Overwatch in particular was stuttering back to some previously buffered frame when the framerate was either below or above a sweet spot. I was also having issues with KDE Plasma bars that I assumed was a KDE issue, but they went away with the new GPU with no other software changes than swapping drivers. I was on a GTX 1080 which was still going strong with the games I played

Something tells me the potential reception of the magypsies is a factor. Now is a time of both great love and hate for things related to challenging binary gender
Wouldn’t it be weird to include multiple takes when totalling number of lines? Like, it’s understood that only one take of any particular line would ever be included in the final product. I’m not sure that’s what happened here
Denying references to other places that directly compete with you seems pretty reasonable to me. You don’t see toaster boxes at Walmart saying it’s also available at Target or whatever
