For me it's 100% about banking or payment apps that won't run if they detect a custom ROM or root. Otherwise i would consider the effort worth it, if only to free the device from the manufacturer's limited update commitment.

It also means more people can play on more hardware, it typically focuses the experience, it makes the interactive elements more visually distinguishable from the background graphics, it's cheaper/faster to produce so less incentive to bloat with MTX to recoup massive investments, the scope is smaller so can be better aligned with a singular cohesive artistic vision, and the limited graphics encourages stylisation and artistic decisions when 'photo real' becomes not an option to target.
Also you don't need to wait 10+ years for a game, just to receive a bloated mess where you only engage with 20% of the content yet had to wait for 100% of the development time, since at that point the investment demands it has to appeal to every possible consumer, only to still get a buggy unfinished release due to the massive scope. /rant. Anyway, indies are great and i love short games too.
Including Oblivion. I enjoyed it but it was a huge disappointment to me coming out of Morrowind. Bethesda reputation for me has been on Morrowind credit this whole time.
This reminded me of the Jar Jar Binks is a Sith lord theory
With such good indies, i don't really need AAA. I prefer smaller, shorter, focused experiences anyway. AAA feels like a bloated predatory mess.
I didn't think it was possible to make Google Assistant worse at this point tbh... but I'm sure Google can prove me wrong.
I'm gonna wait for the komplete edition once all dlc/expansions are done.
"once you're paired up, you're going to delete your account" woah woah woah, I never said that.
Maybe they could switch things up and offer a single modern mini phone model, under 5".
YouTube recommended this video, and based on the thumbnail alone it looked like sensationalist garbage. I didn't watch it. I think it's because i watched a single video about "de-googling" and now the algorithm dives straight into the rage-bait deep-end of that topic.
I feel like some people just hear "crypto" or "ai" and start screeching and clawing at the air.
Not every feature needs to be for you specifically, these features are optional and don't compromise or even impact their other products. They seem to be on-brand in being more privacy-focused alternatives to some of the existing market options while remaining accessible, and keeps Proton in the game depending on how the landscape develops.
I don't use Proton (yet) but I generally like what they're doing and hope they succeed, and I don't see any of these developments as negatives, just more competition.
