Just give it time, someone will make a native wefwef clone. It’s open source after all.
Hell, if there’s no native app in a year, I’ll contribute to making one happen.
I would like you to point out some example features that can’t be done on here though that exist in memmy? The hiccups on here are not due to it being a web app.
I would take anything he says with a grain of salt at this point.
He wants to build hype for the game, and from a PR standpoint, how else could he really have answered this question? Even if supports been bad, he can’t just go out and say that.
When the game launches we will know the true answer to this question.
I bought and played the GTA 5 campaign on my ps3 when it launched.
Really looking forward to playing through the campaign again 2 gens later at more than 20fps.
And somehow some people are going to use this as reasoning that they need more guns to defend themselves.
I had a feeling there was something going when when Steve Huffman specifically called out in his interview that most comments sections were full of users ‘just wanting to go back to normal’ when the sub polls were clearly showing a different story.
It’s crazy how some of the communications from their CEO has been.
He clearly thinks he owns all the content on the platform and even called the third party app users ‘freeloaders’ when a ton of them were top contributors to the platform.
Bigger than you think.
Most people who moved over are more likely to be contributors.
Only like 1% of redditors ever interact with the platform.
Instead of looking at ‘how much they lost’ think about ‘how much we gained’. This event has started the network effect for Lemmy.
Halo was a legit competitor to cod just past a decade ago.
Now you can’t even compare them because COD is bigger than ever while halo is a shadow of its former self.
Infinite really could have been a partial comeback for halo if they had a steady stream of content after launch, but somehow they added even less than most non-live service games.
ID software (makers of doom), would make a halo game better than anything 343 could put out.
The single player on rails experience is desperately needed.
In a nutshell: corporate greed. The only part of the game that was live service was the paid cosmetics.
At launch, their entire idea of more ‘content’ was just visual cosmetics. If you look at their communications at the time it will all make sense.
They constantly referred to an internal ‘live service’ team separate from the rest of the game, and that team was effectively the ‘cosmetics team’.
People talk about contractors, but this was the real problem. They thought they could get away with barely adding any real content and selling tons of cosmetics.
I pay them nearly $100 a month for internet. They can get fucked if they want to dictate what legal things I do with it.
I feel like the EEE attack is inevitable at this point.
Why else would they even be willing to federate?
They saw the threat that decentralized non-profit social media is and want to kill it before it has a chance.
All Lemmy servers and especially the largest ones need to defederate from it immediately.
