Yes, I agree. Not only would the proposed community be full of baseless claims etc. But also it may deter potential mods.

No problem :) . Thank YOU for posting. This can cause an interesting discussion.

Not really sure what this will achieve in the long run. Sure, some mods will up their game after being shamed… but would this not just encourage toxic behaviour? People may start shaming mods just because they may slightly disagree with them as opposed to because they are bad mods. Instead of a few bad eggs, we may end up with a chaotic community of people blasting and publicly shaming anyone with differing opinions. Is this the best way to go about this? Obviously I may be exaggerating slightly, but this is just to get across a point to consider. I know you have touched on this issue already, but another thing to consider is the potential bias of mods of this community as well. This is an interesting idea and I would also like to hear other people’s opinions on the matter.

Yeah I hope modding support stays.

Well now I’m even more excited… What about mods (assuming it supports them). For example AC had content manager. Hopefully a “Content Manager” is no longer required for mods.

Hell yeah, can’t wait! One of the few modern franchises I care about. Would be amazing if we had Linux support but unfortunately I know that isn’t going to happen.

I couldn’t either… I ended up using dd, though it’s probably not the best way by a long shot.

Looks good, seems like an interesting concept. Will keep my eyes peeled for that one.

WTF

You do you I guess. If you scroll down far enough on the android app home screen it will start displaying recommended content in the typical short-form layout. I believe you can also click on a small rectangle on some playlists and it will do a similar thing.

Humane Labs?

The UI that gets progressively worse with each update, ruining what was perfectly fine before. The attempts to create the audio focused equivalent of TikTok.

See episode “Metalhead”.

Now the lulz are on you haha.

I don’t know, personally I’ve never liked the idea behind that app. It seems like a massive privacy risk. I know if it is open source there is less of a risk, but I still don’t like the idea of people being encouraged to constantly post themselves and their surroundings.

Ahh, thanks for that, I’m probably making shit up.

True, although correct me if I’m wrong, people have issues with the flatpak version? I apologise if I’m talking out my ass, I couldn’t tell you what these “problems” are. It may just be a baseless claim. XD

Yes. The problem is that a lot of devs release their games primarily for steam, or the dreaded Microsoft Store.

Exactly.

Although I disagree with some of the points (which have been mentioned in other comments), I do wish Steam had less of a monopoly. That’s not to say I blame Valve, I just think there is a lack of good competitors and people willing to budge. Epic launcher is just a joke. I only use it for the free games, which is why I assume they are giving away the games for free in the first place. Not enough people use GOG. Thankful to Valve for making proton, Linux gaming would be a lot worse than it is if it weren’t for proton. But damn, make a 64 bit client already, I have to use the multilib repo because it is the only 32 bit application on my system XD. EDIT: not to mention the terrible performance on some older systems.
