  No you see it’s supposed to be at their will, not your will.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Long Dark gets a big free visual enhancement update out now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Dang I didn’t realize they were still updating this game, it’s been around for a long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fresh⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t the gas still seep into the sewers in that case?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions are getting more expensive⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean it’s not just file format problems as well. It’s also the fact that generally you’ll need a professional license for whatever software you’re using since you’re not using it for personal use and it’s probably cheaper and easier to buy a ton of licenses from one company then splitting it between different companies based on what people want. There’s also the fact that especially for bigger companies they’ll have custom tools and templates already made that work in that software. Some of that is file format for things like templates but any custom scripts or tools would probably have to be rewritten to support other types of creative tools. Plus at the end of the day it’s just easier if all of your employees are using the same tools so they can collaborate easier and ask for help on things easier.

  I wouldn’t be surprised if at this point with the prices they charge, most of Adobe’s users are either working somewhere that has it, or are students who want to work professionally with it, or are people in between jobs who need to keep up skills in it for when they can go back to work. Most anyone I talk to who isn’t doing things professionally and doesn’t plan to go professional will use something like Gimp instead of Photoshop if cost is an issue.

  Outside of this though there’s also just the fact that it being the industry standard does tend to cause non-professionals to use it too. Whether it be because they view it as better then the alternatives, or they want to get experience in case they ever want to use it professionally, or they just haven’t heard of anything else and the tutorials they were able to find for what they wanted to do used Adobe products.

  Either way though I bet that the majority of the money Adobe makes is from companies buying tons of pro licenses rather than from individual people using it.

  I mean it’s not just not wanting to learn a new UI. It’s that a company uses Adobe as it’s standard so if you don’t have experience with it they won’t hire you. And if you try to come in using a different tool they’re just gonna end up forcing you to use Adobe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’m really starting to feel like we’re gonna see a lot of these companies shift from doing big AAA games to instead publishing small indie games. Almost all of these big companies have indie publishing arms now and as they start to see good profits from those without having to take on the cost of paying devs themselves I wouldn’t be surprised if they start cutting back on their own dev teams and shifting to that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack Overflow seeks rebrand as traffic continues to plummet – which is bad news for developers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean there’s always gonna be new libraries or frameworks or whatever that will have their own questions to be asked. I think the problem is at a certain point you’ve reached the maximum audience you can appeal to. Which I feel StackOverflow very much has but of course corporations have to keep making greater and greater profits so once you maximize audience you have to find other methods for profit. Which is what leads to rebrand stuff like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean I imagine that comes down to the fact that Ori was published by Microsoft while this game was self published. Someone like Microsoft is gonna have a lot more resources for advertising a game versus trying to self publish it.

  Would love that if it was an option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But what reason would they have to go after you on foreign soil? Unless you’re like actively causing problems for China they’re not gonna spend the effort to go after you for saying “China bad” on one of their phones. That only matters if you’re in China at which point it’s silencing internal discontent. The much bigger likelihood is the American government seeing you, through data Google gathers, organize against US support of Israel or any other position they start abducting people for and grabbing you off the street for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean judging by the current American government id much rather my data is going to the CCP then the American Government via Google as a proxy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean one of those is a new game, the other is an 8 year old game, I think that at that point complaining about it being 90$ is valid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include the DLC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean generally if a company releases their game on a new console years after the original game came out it does include the DLC and is like a definitive edition. At least that’s how I remember it used to be when I actually bought console games.
