    and you know what, it won’t matter. not one bit. because people are lazy and people don’t care or are indifferent.

    look at reddit. big uproar…for a few days, weeks. now pretty much back to normal.

    even myself, I still go back to certain communities because they don’t exist elsewhere. and like someone else said it’s not just software or platforms, it’s people and countries, etc. etc.

    it’s hard to make changes and have them stick. it’s even harder to convince people to leave the easy and known for the not so easy and unknown.

    and I think we’re going to see lots more…lots, lots more. it will be the new normal.

      I still left Reddit and unity and haven’t returned. Some people do care. Not everyone is indifferent.

      And god forbid you point out the fact that this attitude among consumers is exactly the reason these companies are brazen enough to pull this shit. People don’t want to hear how their attitudes around instant gratification and focus on convenience over absolutely all else just might have consequences.

      Unity was the biggest stumble.

      Publishers hate surprise fees, distribution platforms absolutely won’t pay per download, developers (companies) are stretching budgets as it is, and the individual developers are quick to anger and will hold a grudge for eternity.

      They really gutted themselves.

        The stupid idea went forward despite warning from people within the fucking company, no less. All because they wanted to get some of Hoyogames (Genshin and Honkai Impact)'s juicy profits

      I went to reddit for Valve memes, but now I decided to make my own community here for it. The only problem is NO ONE ELSE FUCKING POSTS!
