When they started, they did used to force you to use products edit: aside from their own games(fair cop), some 3rd party games like Lost Planet also required it.
Certain games, and not just valve games, you’d buy in a store and the disc would force you to install and create a steam account to play the single player offline game.
I think the same. The original goal was probably to fire most of the workers, change the politics to match theirs, and just sit back and let the profits roll in.
But that failed, so now they’re killing the platform off with an intent of using the lost investment as a massive tax write off.
1.3 million is not the price of an average house. It is the average price of a condo, townhouse and house.
The average price of a house in 2023 in Vancouver is 2.3 million dollars. Townhouse is 1.3 mil and condo is 805k
The average price of a house in Vancouver is roughly 2 million. It’s been over a million for a decade now. I figured 1 mill was a decent ballpark.
It is to modern Billionaires. To people like Bezos and Musk 250 million dollars is well under 0.2% of their net worth.
Compared to the average western homeowner(assuming house price of 1 million dollars), its the same as spending 1,000 dollars.
Given that the issue with the Xbox S is the split screen, I’d suspect that the PS4 would have the same issue.
Bowing her head like that is her deferring to you. She’s saying she’s worried about you.
Yeah that was 50 years ago when Exxon hide that they had detected man made climate change
It’s missing that the definition of “help” there is “help themselves to Irish land”
I never said the people weren’t smart.
Throw them in an accredited uni and they’ll stand out just as well. But if the school isn’t accredited, then unfortunately their education shouldn’t be recognized until it is.
E.G. a school I almost went to was highly regarded, but didn’t have the ability to hand out degrees in engineering because they weren’t accredited.
They worked at it and got the accreditation, and now they do hand out engineering degrees.
So if a school anywhere in the world doesnt have accreditation, IMO its on the heads of the staff of that university. Not its students, nor usually western governments.(I.E: not the racist conservative parties of the west. It is on their heads. )
See IIT. Widely regarded as one of the best EEng schools. Is recognized in Canada.
Their degrees don’t meet the standards of western accreditation. They should never count until they meet those standards.
Equally, we shouldn’t invite them here with the false expectation that they do meet those standards.
You can zoom in and out as well as have a direct overhead view
E.g. right now there is a post on how China is refusing help Uganda build a new Railroad to help Uganda. Because it will help Uganda, not help China steal from Uganda.
That concept isn’t what got Trump elected.
Cambridge Analytica got him elected. The superior data they had got him elected. He went out and promised the rust belt, among others) exactly what they wanted, and they took a chance on him after decades of being lied to by the Democratic party. Then combine that with the blatant gerrymandering, and you have a win for the greedy morons.
While that was happening the Democratic party was on a fools errand to try and flip Texas blue.
If you’re on Android, Newpipe, from Newpipe.net, is great.
I found out about it when Google delisted it.
Or that Reddit has had this issue in spades.
Frankly, that the ability for the Fediverse to cut off problem servers is listed as a drawback and not an advantage is in my opinion, wrong.
I realized that after deleting my oldest reddit account I should have sold the damn thing.
Might work out how to do that yet for my remaining accounts
My point is that they did initially to force usage. I’ll edit the post with the game name when I get home.
Edit: Lost Planet. It had a disc but required you to sign up for and use steam to play it.
