Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company

I can’t wait for all the wonderful features, that needing to show a perpetual quarterly profit increase brings. We have seen over and over how great going public is for users. I am sure it will be different this time.
“I'm confident that passing the torch to Humam is the right evolution for Discord's future.” LOL

Corporations are consolidating and taking employee options away. How do they change jobs, when there are so few other employers to work for? It is good to see employees consolidate to get a better contract.

I like this idea; it is good to see this information. I have not been able to understand what I can’t share a game or song with a friend, but billionaires can steal the whole internet (including pirated materials) and earn money from it.

Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam
19 Feb 2025 at 6:28 pm UTC Likes: 7

Can anyone imagine the level of control Amazon would force on users, if they had the market share of Steam? They would end up killing their own business. All corporate decisions would be based on saving money. Eg. It is cheaper to support only one OS. It is cheaper to support only one video card.
I like that Steam seems to have a lighter touch with their control.
I also like that Gabe took on M$ when they thought we would all want to buy everything from their Windows 8 store.

Valve will join Lenovo at CES 2025 for the future of gaming handhelds

Remember net books? I am waiting for M$ to release a cheap version of windows, “optimized” just for handhelds, to try and stop SteamOS. History repeats itself. More units on more brands can only help SteamOS.

Quoting: LupertEverettDumb af PSN account requirement for all of the games listed in the news (and much more) when?

I hate this.
I have to get through Eldin Ring now, before it is too late. But it is sooo hard.

KDE was there for me when I was broke. I was happy to give back this year, now that I can afford to.
Awesome desktop and apps.

Is all that floating mist in the video vapourware? Perhaps that is where the revolution is hidden.
