RUST has a pretty fun “minigame” where you have to connect certain points with each axe chop/chainsaw cut to quickly fall the tree, always wondered why that hasn’t been poached for other games.

I’d say it’s more of a dedicated following that just isn’t viral. Keep in mind crossplay means that the steam charts aren’t an accurate barometer by themselves.

This right here - plenty of good android phones out there that don’t need contract financing.

Especially now that Motorola is gonna partner with GrapheneOS.

If Apple didn’t keep treating smaller developers like shit, maybe you would have more options for applications that respected your privacy and weren’t as monetized.

Consider moving away from the abusive platform and then your options for privacy and security will expand. Maybe look for a phone with GrapheneOS support (previously only Pixels, but Motorola models will come with support soon) for complete control and customization.

Most of the devs from the Bad Company era left EA to form Embark Studios - maybe check out their games like The Finals?

GrapheneOS hardware requirements, for starters.

Motorola is coming in soon, fortunately

Free software -> free expression pipeline

Tuta mail, but if you use a credit card you’ll probably run into similar issues.

Just a heads up - you don’t have to self-censor names on lemmy. These are communities, not corporate servers.

I think steam support does offer refunds in those instances where the terms of sale were changed on you when mentioned in a ticket (see Helldivers and newer COD games)

Just glad you’re on our side mate.

Best time was yesterday, second best is now! :3

Reading about the ELIZA effect as well is a good way to understand how those who embrace “social norms” can be enamored by machine-generated statements without questioning them at all…

What’s the age of the game? 75-90% discounts on steam aren’t uncommon for games more than 5-10 years old.

Valid, but many backpacks don’t have those dedicated headphone holes. I was thinking of something that could clip to the shoulder straps (or I guess this existing design could be adapted for MOLLE-style rigging as well with a simple measurement).

This actually would be kind of neat as a backpack atrachment.
