Can we all at least agree that counting numbers are a joke? Sometimes they start at zero … sometimes they start at one …
I could be mistaken, but since it's a Mozilla base code and F-Droid distribution chain, I'm not sure where Google can stick it's thumb in the pie.
Still bet someone will create a new set of assets that fit like a glove for preservation purposes. But kinda sucks that it's not quite as useful as I was naïvely thinking.
Honestly? They're probably going to continue to offer the game on Steam and it will probably continue to trickle in revenue. Most people who are interested in the game have already bought it, so it's never going to draw in millions again.
The game is currently listed at $15, but goes on sale frequently for $3. I bet many new players would be happy to pay steam $3 for the cloud save and steam's easy game management, as opposed to compiling from source for every new PC install.
Finally, the gameplay loop between Rogue Legacy and Rogue Legacy 2 are pretty similar. This means the the original is a good extended demo for the sequel which is .$25, but up to 50% off. Frankly, it's a great marketing move at this stage in the game's lifetime.

Yes. Since Halloween is the last day of October, the 31st, it's kinda never on the 13th. So yeah, it's a shitpost.
All technology development stands on the shoulders of giants. It's unethical for modern giants to refuse to continue the tradition.
Or just agree with what your betters want you to think, obviously. </s>
No, sadly leopards are eating the proletariat faces, but they're his proletariat faces

Yay. This is excellent news and hopefully the beginning of a trend.
No source code is perfect, and the xz utils vulnerability highlights how having everything fall to enthusiasts alone isn't perfect. Adding some state level actors into the soup will hopefully add some additional validation to many key tool chains. (I wouldn't trust state actors alone, as some governments clearly don't have their citizens best interests at heart, but as another set of eyes to a public source, I think is good)
Cracking a phone is pretty doable. Cracking phones in a way that will hold up in a court trial, much more formal.
I thought her insights were practical and grounded. Do you disagree about the factual nature of their anecdote about engagement with cameras off? Or that the anecdote isn't indicative of general audiences? Would you care to elaborate on what you mean by "what actual people are actually like"?
It's worse then that. They're actively profiting from that discount rate, meaning they're ludicrously profiting from everyone who doesn't spend half their life getting discount codes (the cost of convenience)
Yep yep. Was hoping someone would call me out on that. 😝
Today is hard. We're at the heart of the conflict - but if we succeed we are free.
