The original setup for it did. I remember seeing SkyUI on the platform as a paid mod when it was and still is free
- Comment on Steam Workshop Has added support for paid mods 11 months ago:
Skyrim itself for 1
I’ve seen it with minecraft too, when mod distribution was centralized there was a lot of issues with people reuploading other creators work
- Comment on Steam Workshop Has added support for paid mods 11 months ago:
They’ve had those before and it hasn’t worked. Maybe I’m just cynical, but I’ve never seen an official supported modding marketplace exist without a significant number of free mods being sold as paid by not the original developer
- Comment on Most "simulation" games aren't simulators 11 months ago:
Open marketplaces will tag their products with anything and everything in the hope of showing up in “featured” lists.
This is another one of the consequences of over SEO in the current age of the internet
- Comment on Steam Workshop Has added support for paid mods 11 months ago:
Yeah, that’s sure stopped content mods being ripped off and reuploaded to paid platforms.
This happens every time someone tries paid mods. Someone rips somebody else’s work and profits from it.
- Comment on Why would I want to use the multi-desktop functionality in Windows 11? 11 months ago:
Laptop users
Really nice to have multiple workspaces when constrained to one, small screen
- Comment on Why would I want to use the multi-desktop functionality in Windows 11? 11 months ago:
I use this regularly on a laptop, but almost never on a desktop.
It’s really nice if you have multiple full screen apps you’re switching back and forth from them pretty regularly, ie IDE in one env, browser in another, both can be full screen and switched without minimizing the other.
Multi Monitor setups often solve the same problem.
- Comment on 'The Witcher 4 will channel the “freedom” of CDPR’s Cyberpunk 2077' 11 months ago:
Funny, cause I’m the same except flipped. I’m going on 300 hours into CP2077, but couldn’t make it past hour 5-6 of TW3 for much the same reason.
- Comment on 'The Witcher 4 will channel the “freedom” of CDPR’s Cyberpunk 2077' 11 months ago:
It definitely shouldn’t have been, but that doesn’t mean the game is shit, just marketing is bad.
- Comment on 'The Witcher 4 will channel the “freedom” of CDPR’s Cyberpunk 2077' 11 months ago:
Same experience here. I’m pretty sure at least 75% of the complaints were from consoles that should have never had the game released for.
- Comment on 'The Witcher 4 will channel the “freedom” of CDPR’s Cyberpunk 2077' 11 months ago:
I feel like I’m in the minority here, but imo CP2077 is a much more fun game than the Witcher 3. I couldn’t get more than a few hours into TW3 without getting bored, which was never a problem with CP2077.
It was actually one of the major reasons I didn’t initially buy CP2077, as I very much disliked the gameplay of TW3
- Comment on I hate that I am become this person but: are delivery drivers just allowed to call and say 'please come and meet me' now? 11 months ago:
That’s pretty much how it was when I delivered with Dominos too. It was a cold day in hell before we’d tell someone to have to come out and meet us. We even still had to do 100% in person, face to face deliveries.
There was a couple occasions where I had to call the customer due to being lost in an apartment complex, but most are fairly understanding about that.
- Comment on I hate that I am become this person but: are delivery drivers just allowed to call and say 'please come and meet me' now? 11 months ago:
I was a delivery driver. He’s 100% in the right. Delivery services have gotten so shit over the last few years where the drivers won’t even do the bare minimum of coming to the door
- Comment on Unity cuts 265 jobs as part of a company 'reset' 11 months ago:
They offer enterprise level support for their engine and also have a lot of mobile focused development. They have their own in house ad provider and dedicated a bunch of man power to monetizing mobile as much as possible
- Comment on Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit 11 months ago:
Not all artists do
I’m glad your line of work allows you to make a living, but the same model doesn’t work for everyone.
- Comment on Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit 11 months ago:
No, he understands just fine
Artists might create out of love, but they’re not going to share it for free so someone else can make a profit
- Comment on Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit 11 months ago:
Minor note about only a single point here
CS2 as an “upgrade” to CSGO has been less than well received from what I can tell. If they wanted it to be free it should have been a new game and left CS:GO in place. Removing a game many of us paid for in favor of a newer, different game isn’t something that should be praised, and should be called out as the anti-consumer move it was.
- Comment on Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit 11 months ago:
I’m going to be real, the seperatization might be good technically from a consumer standpoint, but mostly will just prove to make consumers lives harder for no reason. One of the major benefits of Steam is that it handles everything, and isn’t something I, or anyone else, would be happy to give up.
