I’m sad that they had to monetize sky the way they did to keep the service up. It’s clearly what they wanted out of journey but couldn’t accomplish the first go. If you like journey, play sky, children of the light

Weezer - buddy holley

Without the philosophical overtones and the anti military industrial complex theme, I don’t think I’d want to play it.

And today I love a stranger. Wonderful!

I love that this is pronounced Arr Poo (ARPU)

It is at Amazon, at least now. Twice I’ve gotten used for new. I’m not shopping there if I can possibly avoid it at this point.

What… is this Rio? Hahah.

Those extra arms are suuuper creepy!

Kinda have mixed feelings about this. Those who are innocent know that they are on the list at the cost of their SSN or national ID. Bit of a mixed blessing there.

Also, a bunch of truly bad actors will be compromised. Maybe that’s good?

Hmm. Dunno how to feel.

If it builds and runs for me, I may build a Windows installer for it…

I AM SO STOKED!

Like the sith.

Seriously. I don’t think I can buy another switch device. Next time it’ll have to be a steam deck or clone.

Good bot

…And charge pennies on the dollar!

Or, as soon as the mfgrs stop making parts for my car, I should get a refund of a certain amount of the purchase price of the car.

When my phone goes out of support, I get a refund of %x of the cost. The mfgrs can keep the money in the mean time and earn interest.

Disincentivise planned obsolescence.

Surely. I’d wonder if it is deemed enforceable by a federal judge. I guess it doesn’t matter with this supreme court.

Users paid, and no longer play.

Seems kinda theftish.

IANAL.

Perhaps a class action lawsuit could set that precedent.

Maybe they should have just done a dollar a month subscription that goes along with the game or give that as an option now to keep the server alive.

Even if it’s a couple bucks sure the most faithful adherence of the game would not really mind paying it. The biggest problem for me here is that they’re totally removing the consumer’s agency, their choice.

I agree with what someone else said in this thread that if the support goes away then the server’s code should go open source. By law.

An adorable robot designed to capture the hearts of all who see it. This robot stands in a cheerful pose, with big, expressive eyes that sparkle with curiosity. Its body is sleek and metallic, with a glossy finish that reflects the surrounding environment. It has two small, rounded ears at the top of its head, giving it a friendly, approachable appearance. The robot’s arms and legs are slightly oversized for its body, adding to its cute, cartoonish vibe. It’s surrounded by a soft glow, emphasizing its friendly demeanor in a whimsical, futuristic setting.

…we meet again. Still working on that plateau.

Thanks🙂
