The teams will still all go. It's all corrupt.

What a crazy fuckup. You have a household name almost for action cameras and you keep releasing overpriced crappy products.

Good luck, lets hope RAM and storage prices come down sooner rather than later.

320kbps mp3 is practically indistinguishable from lossless audio, so it is going to sound amazing compared to more compressed audio that streaming services tend to use by default. Also the hardware in the mp3 player is likely much better than anything in your phone or PC, if you never invested in anything audio specific. I always recommend to purchase a DAC/AMP for PC.

Of course. Ubisoft sold their games on UPlay and not Steam for a while. People still played their games and they had some big releases.

Did they sell the games any cheaper? Of course they didnt.

You dont know how the sender or recipient handles your mail, but handling your own with encryption is still a good practice.

An email provider can have an entire database of all your emails (e.g. Google with Gmail), which more valuable than individual people or companies having access to only a few related ones.

There's also PGP support with some providers, so you could set-up encrypted emailing with people if that's important to you.

Either way, getting away from the big providers is a good move, I'd at least want my inbox encrypted though, like Proton or others do.

Fully encrypted email should have been made standard a long time ago.

It's companies trying to make a quick buck. They tried this with roads too.

Obviously every home should have them first and all newly built homes should be built with solar efficiency in mind.

What if governments just banned any form of real financial gambling in video games? Valve is still a business, they are going to try and make money, even if it's shitty. Also a parental problem if you are loading your childs Steam account with money 24/7 so they can gamble.

It's an odd one.

If a game cannot be sold cheaper elsewhere, publishers have two options, lower the price on Steam (which benefits consumers) or increase the price on the other platform(s) (which benefits the publisher).

It benefits Valve no matter what. It can also benefit the consumer. It can also harm the consumer.

Publishers have every right to not use Steam. Ubisoft had success with UPlay in the past, they just wanted even more money, so went back to Steam.

Will be interesting to see what happens with the lawsuit.

I hate to break it to you, the majority of PC owners don't either. PC hasn't been a majority power-user platform for a long, long time.
