Games aren't developed in a silo, for example XDefiant shares its engine with The Division and probably back-end services with most other Ubisoft games, so releasing its code could expose vulnerabilities to be exploited in games that are still running. They could still be forced to release a closed source server application though.

Yeah I find that open world games are only as good as their sandbox capabilities.

If it forces people to stop financially supporting Musk it might actually be a net positive for the environment.

That's wrong, since speculative investment and money laundering are so intertwined with the pricing of art.

You can tuck wired headphones under your shirt if it's a problem, I still do that if I only have wired earbuds on me. Also Bluetooth headphones add a bit of lag which I find noticeable when playing games.

This was a great read. It's so sad and maddening.

There was a DDoS but it's a separate attack from what I read

Quebec also has a disproportionate amount of successful games for similar circumstances. Video game salaries are pretty well subsidized (although it was originally only meant to encourage Ubisoft to open a studio then other companies joined or got created so they kept it). The current government is threatening that though. That's on top of socialized healthcare, low electricity cost, and the Canadian Media Fund but those all apply to the rest of Canada as well.

Quick list on top of my head: Indies: Outlast, Dead by Daylight, The Messenger, Spiritfarer, Ultimate Chicken Horse, Fez... AAA: Deus Ex, R6 Siege, For Honor, some of the better Assassin's Creed and Farcry, Batman Arkham Origins

and the only voting options are maintaining the status quo or making it worse

Oh cool there's an Android app, that's gonna make it so much easier to recommend!

Edit: I just read about how it's centralized and not encrypted, I'm not sure how this can become anything but Discord except open source and less popular. Matrix + Element seems to cover my use case for a project a bit better, I'll give that a try.

Why would anyone buy a brand new Switch in 2024, just buy a used one
