  Emulation itself doesn’t constitute piracy.

  Now, it does facilitate it because all you need is a ROM from any source.

  But saying emulators should be prosecuted would be the same as arguing that Steam’s Proton should be banned because you can launch pirated games through it.

  And here’s your other issue…

  Nothing of what I said was meant as an offense. Yet you took it to hearts. That is not a response one would normally expect (Unless it’s cultural, ig). It’s almost as if I’m reading a script from a teenage drama show where a character has an unresolved inner conflict. Just something for you to think about.

  Your question was “why people act like I’m a kid?” I only shared my observations of why that could be the case. That doesn’t mean you need to change anything. Not if you yourself are ok with it.

  Also, I was well aware you’re 21 at the moment of writing the comment. Yet again, I’m merely answering your question, I really don’t mean anything beyond what is written. I’m not judging, no nothing, everything I write should be read in as neutral tone as possible.

  The rest was me speculating. Those aren’t the questions you should be answering to me, only to yourself. After all, a random stranger on the internet can only do so much, you’re the only one who can answer your own question. Best I can do is point you in a direction to dig further, which those were meant for.

  Not that I’ve looked up your post history as well as the way you type. Everything just screams “14 y.o. girl.” There’s a lot of personality, a lot of bubbliness, everything’s "hyper. " It’s just not something you’d expect of an adult. Adults are usually more reserved and “battle-worn.” I’d also look at the wardrobe, especially if you’re of smaller stature.

  I agree that the gestures feel great (pretty much the only good part about this mouse imo), but why not just use a track pad instead?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is losing VR support next year⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, yeah, that I agree with.

  My head was at the “VR gaming” as a whole back when I was writing the comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is losing VR support next year⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I’ve decided to check the financials of a couple of VR companies since your counterpoint sounded reasonable. The only one working at a loss is Meta. I could argue their business model is in Death Valley right now. After all, they have major capital expenses, which aren’t easily covered unless you have a big userbase.

  But that’s their VR sector. Overall, Meta’s profitable and can easily cover all the expenses several times over.

  Also, what do you mean by “they have to dedicate several multi-person teams to manage the clients?” Firstly, who’s “they,” secondly, if I understood you right, that sounds prepostrous, unless you’re talking B2B.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is losing VR support next year⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, Mojang’s Minecraft in VR is dead. But that’s kinda far from VR gaming as a whole, don’t you think?

  One symptom does not share the entire story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is losing VR support next year⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think what you’re forgetting is scale.

  Lemmy is niche. VR is niche. Gaming is mainstream.

  You can’t call a niche dead just because there aren’t that many people into it. It’s a niche for a reason.

  Linux is booming, even though it’s “dead.” Lemmy has never been this active in its entire existence. Why do investments from large companies matter?

  What truly matters is growth. Negative growth is what kills a platform/industry/company/whatever else. VR is growing, Linux is growing, Lemmy is growing. It may not be fast, but they all have active userbases that support their development.

  You cannot call a child “failure” just because it never achieved anything in life, can you? They are growing. They can get sick, they can recover. They can also regress due to that illness and die. Only then they’re truly dead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is losing VR support next year⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  • More than 57mil (est.) monthly VR users
  • PS5 has 116mil monthly users

  For how big PS5 is and how small VR is, VR sure has a lot of people playing.

  Lemmy has userbase (not even monthly activity) of 0.6mil. Is lemmy dead?

  What constitutes for a dead platform to you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is losing VR support next year⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not even accurate.

  If VR gaming is dead, then what does it say about Linux with about 5 times less users? Like, a low poly game about monkeys has a daily playerbase of a million people there. Mind you, Mincraft has 1 to 1.5 million. Not bad for a “dead” platform. Also, Valve isn’t even the last one to enter the market.

  I think what you’re actually trying to say is that it’s niche, which it absolutely is.

  UPD: as of right now, the access isn’t blocked in any way.

  It is still unclear whether or not the block was intentional, Nvidia gave no comments.
