Quoting: STiATI'd like a competitor to Steam.
What would be the benefit of that?
Less costs for devs/publishers. I know AAAs usually csn easily afford that and still make millions, but indies often can't really afford it.
And besides that?

What is 'loses' for big company language / mindset etc?
IF in 2019 company earn 12.000.000 $
IF in 2020 company earn 10.000.000 $
then company 'loses' 2.000.000 $
when big company use word 'loses' they mean then earned less than they assumed
No. It means that they lost 2 million, because their income was lower than the money they spent.

Quoting: mZSq7Fq3qsI am hoping that AMD FSR will be implemented to gamescope!
They say in the FAQ that they will add FSR later for games that don't support it.

Quoting: elmapulfor example, in my country, if i count air tv and cable tv, we had 100 animes broacasted in total across 3~5 decades, there are 10.000 animes on my anime list alone (not to mention its an incomplete list, it dont have the indie non official touhou animes for instance), crunchroll dont have everything, but at least it has 700 animes any given month.
This is a really good point, tbh, and re-enforces why monopolies are bad - if they control what content you watch, you're severely restricted as a focused client of that service. But while dealing with multiple streaming services feels bad, they're still actually really cheap compared to what we used to pay for scheduled television, and they allow a huge degree of control over what you watch.

My primary gripe is really just finding content sometimes. And a minor gripe about how different services look different. And handle end-of-show credits. And how quickly they stream the next episode before I can find the remote control to turn off auto-stream. So frustrating.

Okay, so a few gripes. Still better than a monopoly though.
In Germany there was Sky for soccer/football. Bundesliga and Champions League... all you needed in one small package if you wanted to watch every game.

Then they had to split up the rights, because it was claimed that competition is good for the customer. Then the rights went to Sky for the Saturday games, but the Friday games were on Eurosport. And some games were exclusive to DAZN/Amazon or whatever. Total clusterfuck and more expensive than before.

The Humble Choose Wisely Bundle has some adventure treats

Quoting: EhvisBundle contains a "we were here" game. Since humble doesn't offer an option to deny a dev income, I'll have to so no to the whole bundle.
What's the problem with the dev?

Quoting: scaineAlso, is it 25% off the already-discounted price of 55% off [External Link]? In which case, that bumps the 55% off to 66% - a £30 game for just a touch over £10. It's not really clear. But regardless, paying £7 for the bundle to get £3 off a game? Since I'm not really invested in the other games, that really wouldn't be "choosing wisely". :grin:
I'm in €-Country and the 25% were additional. So it went from ~16€ to 11€.

All 3 games together are 80€ on Steam. With this bundle you get them for 20€. 75% off and a few extras.

All 3 Quantic Dreams games for 20€ and a few other games on top is a steal. If you like this kind of games, of course.
