It just shows that these tech bro CEOs possess the interpersonal skills of a potato. This exact same dynamic plays out in every human interaction, this isn’t some AI exclusive thing. How you choose to act dictates how people will respond to you.
However because these idiots have barely anything in common with the rest of the human race this is actually new news to them.
Personally I think the whole concept of gamers is stupid. You cannot have a demographic comprise predominantly of multiple different sections of a population, that’s two broader of net to be casting. It’s like saying that everyone who drives a car is a car enthusiast.
Anyone who plays games is a gamer but there’s a huge range of ages, ethnicities, and nationalities. Besides someone who plays a lot of FPS is not the same as someone who predominantly plays grand strategy games or the Sims.
Whether or not you want to make the moral distinction is a personal choice, but there is an economic distinction to be made as well.
Pirating a AAA game is fine because the studio is gonna make more games regardless.
Pirating an indie game is stupid though, if too many people do that then the developer won’t be able to make enough money and won’t make more games.
Doubling down on the idiocy I see. You could have avoided see me like a prick for the second time if you would just read the the whole article rather than cherry picking a bit of it that reinforces whatever random point it is you’re trying to make.
he’s not actually unhappy about the number of refunds or money he lost, or even Steam’s policy in general—he was merely expressing frustration with players who “bragged about having a fun time with the game and refunding it after completion.”
Which I think is fair enough.
That’s the thing they always tell you. It isn’t a mobile platform, people are prepared to pay higher prices but you need to set expectations with those prices.
If you’re charging $15 for a game people are going to expect at least 10ish hours of gameplay, if it’s going to be under that you want to be sub $10.
Although having said that I think I only paid £12 for Minecraft (about $15) and I’m probably thousands and thousands of hours into that.
It’s not “gamers”, it’s just people, some of which are nobs who one shouldn’t listen too
Yeah they sent me an email to basically say no. The randomised list has apparently put me too far down so now I’m not going to get one.
No time frame or anything just no.
Well yeah if everyone’s using wall hacks in which case who cares?
The reason that IT often gets lumped with this stuff is because if you leave it to anybody else they do it wrong especially logistics.
Everyone except the IT department is now banned from ordering new IT equipment because they’ll order a bunch of laptops and then act all surprised when this huge pallet of devices arrives as if they didn’t just order one. So then it just sits in the entrance lobby the days on end until someone from IT comes and opens the pallet and takes the laptops upstairs. If they do that with new pens that’s fine, no one’s going to steal them.
It’ll be worse than smart watches that tell you that you’ve been sat down for too long.
Yeah I’ve been sat down for too long, I’m at work you idiot device.
Oh that’s useful. I’ve often wondered what my current emotion is, I’m so glad technology has been created to help me with this issue.
Now I’m going to know if I’m currently happy or not. Of course I haven’t got the technology yet so I’m not sure how I feel about this. I’ll let you know.
I suspect most people on business accounts and they can’t really mess with businesses as much as customers
Right but we’re talking about 100s of ms of human reaction time (faster reaction time is around 200ms for ultra pros). Wall hacks where you only get 100ms of warning aren’t much good. So they absolutely could do something with it.
I’m sure the CIA have a heart attack gun or something, he’ll be taken out if and when, assuming he doesn’t decline to the point of which is no longer a threat.
There is no way he’ll be allowed to just walk away. The 1% don’t have total control of him and they can’t have that.
Have they tried not trying to screw random people over to save .1% of their budget, only for that decision to decrease the player base by 50%?
There’s so many cheats that are only possible because the game’s net code is just weirdly implemented.
Like wall hacks, why can I see this other player on the other side of the map, why you sending me their position.
Trump only has influence because he is president without that is just this whiny goblin that cannot keep his mouth shut and knows too much. Epstein had influence and knew too much, and look how that turned out.
That’s one of the problems with having an open loop. Cold water comes in and it has a tiny quantity of an infectious agent, far too smaller quantity to be a problem for anyone.
Then Meta kindly warms that water up by running it through lots of hot computers, the bacterium multiply and do so at a rate proportionate to the temperature (if it goes too hot they die but I doubt even an AI data centre is going to get that hot), then the water gets dumped back into the mains water grid complete with all its lovely infectious agents.
You get bacteria growing in closed loop systems as well, that isn’t an issue because it’s closed loop you just have to clean it out every now and then.
That’s the problem with making RAM so expensive. It’s not physically very big so you can fit a lot of it in a truck
Yeah they call that artificial data and tout it as a good thing
