Another con is that GOG versions are usually not updated as much as other versions are. It's a shame, because I'd prefer to use GOG when possible.

Does anyone know how to permalink a post on Lemmy? Anyway, here's what Snot said:
Also, to be clear on the differences, Valve didn’t reach out offering to pay for a massively popular upcoming game, which is what Epic does as a business model. They had a company that was about to fail reach out to them, and they made an exclusivity deal with them, but Valve did not pay them for this deal. If you really fail to see the difference between those two things, I don’t know what to tell you.
An important detail regarding exclusivity. What made a ton of people pissed off (and justifiably so, in my opinion) is that they bought exclusivity for games that were kickstarted which resulted in the option for Steam keys being removed for these games.
Based on the other poster above, it was the Darwinia devs who reached out to Steam. So Darwinia isn't a particularly good example either.
That's fair, what I do know though is that he would fit right in at lemmygrad and hexbear.
He's still a mod as far as I know, but became inactive around the time of the reddit blackout. And yeah, he always defended the NPA when he could, even during that time where they used land mines.
Despite his allegiance to the NPA, grandenko was one of the more articulate posters on why being pro-poor is good. His absence seems to have allowed the anti-poor people to become more popular.
I did notice that there were a lot more people who mock things as "anti-poor." There were only specific people who did it before, but it seems to becoming more popular in r/ph.
Taxis in my country would routinely ask for extra (usually 25-30% of the total fare) or have you pay them a fixed amount that's way higher than if only the meter was used (about 2-3x the normal fare) . There are also taxis that have meters that are way too fast. Uber was a godsend when it first came out here.
Yep, only reason Epic sued Google is because they want more money. I think Tim Sweeney was even quoted that they'd make billions from it.
Sure, but this is a guy that still uses reddit crticising you for using reddit. Like I don't get why he's even crticising you.
I posted about this in another thread, but Epic also bought exclusivity for games that were crowd-funded then had the option to have the game on Steam removed or you'd get the Steam key after the exclusivity period expired. This pissed off a lot of people.
