YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers
  • This isn't "backfiring" though. People who were already blocking ads are the only ones doing this. If there's even a small portion of people who gave up and just started watching ads/got premium, that means YouTube won. The only way this could really be considered to have backfired is if people were stopping using YouTube entirely, which isn't really happening.

    Question on the new TOS from the Warhammer 40k community
  • I have to imagine this just needs some wording cleanup to indicate some stance on intent or realism. Otherwise, this gives real "China said no bones so have some bread" vibes.

    Awful King Kong Game Was Made In A Year By Overworked Devs
  • That's the publisher who took the devs who made Slap City and instead had them put out NASB. The schedules + enforcements they put on devs is atrocious.

    Nintendo of America President: “Everyone Has the Right To Form a Union”
  • Legally, he can't say otherwise. Our CEO said the same thing, immediately followed by "but I don't know why anyone would do that, we are so much better without a union".

    What happened to online computer games?
  • A good chunk of games DID change with it. The Unity engine makes it very simple to design games for Web. But it's also easy to make those simple games for mobile instead, which has fewer restrictions abd is more prolific. In fact, a good chunk of the bigger flash game companies migrated to mobile. There's just little demand for a web game when I can create a mobile one, monetize it more easily, and reach a larger audience by making it for mobile instead

    fixed rathermaybes terrible meme. Edge is actually good
  • It's distinctly fine nowadays. Old Edge was absolute garbage, modern one is a Microsoft version of Chrome. The problem is that I don't want to swap one mega Corp for another, I want to have a good product. It's very rarely going to be the best browser for any user, and if I were going to default to recommending one to non-tech users, I'd still rather just say Firefox.
