So isn't it a good thing these companies are trying to make it not suck?

And the thing I do on VR 99% of the time (gaming) wasn't even mentioned. Interesting

Why do you people hate VR?

From what I know, pewdiepie 2025 is nothing like old pewdiepie. Used to review memes, now makes vlogs with his wife and kid while enjoying new life in Japan. Basically retired

This is like saying "Easily available drugs from deep web is nothing new", but after deep web protocol got integrated into the chrome with black market set as homepage

I understand your core argument, but it's weak. Fentanyl exists for 70 years, but only in the last 10 or so years it became problematic due to availability

Evil shit that was hard to do 20 years ago, is slowly becoming accessible to every dumb jackass you know that doesn't know what command prompt is

She washes her face with sink? Interesting choices, but I prefer water

OS doesn't need permissions to access hardware

You somehow missed the original argument. No one is forced to use the app store, which is what this is generally about.

Fair, but there is an argument to be made about how hosting things are now cheaper than ever, by a huge margin. When 1GB used to cost 1 dollar, they had 30% cut. Now when that's 0.01 not 1, 100x the difference (while games have gotten like what, 10x bigger?), it's still 30%.

But you know what is the most damning argument against their cut? Steam earns more money per employee than next 3 companies combined and Gabe is buying fleet of yachts and multiple submarines, not even getting into real estate, while indie devs are going broke one after another. That cut might make a major difference for devs, but at this point Gabe has already too much money and won't suffer from having less of it, which is really not consumer or developer friendly thing to do, basically hoarding riches like other billionaires

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

You're not really buying the code, you're buying userbase, rights and patents (if any)
