How China’s first AAA game Wukong Became One of the Fastest Selling Games in History
  • Blizzard is already pretty infamous for adapting their games for the Chinese market, by removing or replacing certain numbers/symbolism or objects like skulls. So, it's already been happening for a long time.

    Dear iPhone users:
  • Nah, I don't disagree. Your experience is valid. Did he get some tech support for it or something? Because that doesn't sound like normal behavior for a new phone, no matter the brand.

    If you ever feel stupid remember, USA exists
  • Yeah. If I remember correctly, Sony and the devs first said that they'll reverse it. And then Sony went behind the devs' back to region lock the game anyway.

    Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations.
  • Youtube can't paywall the site, since that would create an even bigger outrage than longer ads. But they are already working on unskippable ads, so people won't be able to block them with conventional means. So to them, it's not a simple request. Either you watch ads or you pay. I'm personally not a big fan of that, since it feels way too intrusive and dystopian.

    And yeah, Google as a whole sucks ass, we all know that. Again, I'm not arguing against stealing from them, but just that it IS indead still stealing/piracy to block ads. If you want to do that or not is a personal decision, but people still need to be aware of what they're doing.

    Texas sues to block Biden rule protecting privacy for women who get abortions
  • It's because they don't know enough about their wife's own genitals. They don't see those often enough to learn anything lol.

    But in all seriousness: Very rape-y vibes from those guys, I have to say. Pretty gross.

  • Okay, and you are not entitled to use the platform. How do you suppose people are to keep it running? Charity? Good luck with that. In the case of Youtube or Twitch, video streaming is more expensive than you can imagine.

  • I'm not arguing against ad blockers, I'm arguing that they are still a form of piracy. Also, if you go to a cinema, you've presumably already paid for the ticket, so the cinema has already made money from you...

  • The thing being stolen is the advertisers ability to advertise, which in turn pays for the platform. So, it is stealing from the platform.

    Also, if you take a quick look at the pamphlet and throw it away, that's the same thing as looking at an ad and ignoring it afterwards. You were still looking at it, so the ad did its job.

    Btw, don't get me wrong, I also use ad blockers for a lot of things. But I do pay for anything that I use for a good amount of time, like Youtube, video games, movies or music.
