So I use it mostly for soulsgames. I set up the right track pad as mouse. Like I’m rolling a ball that slows down. That’s just how I like it. And then I use the left track pad for moving. Left stick is my Dpad.

I also use the dual stage triggers a lot.

I don’t really like much rumble to begin with so for me it’s great. But I can see why some don’t like it

I’ll sorry to hear that. I suppose I’ve been fortunate enough to never have any issues at all with mine. I will be a sad day when it gives up. I don’t think I could play Elden Ring with any other controller.

I have mine still. Bought it at launch. Never went back. Best controller I’ve ever had the pleasure to use. I genuinly LOVE everything about it. I don’t even want the new one.

Can’t improve upon perfection

I offered an explanation as to why I thought it was the same price in most of Europe.

It’s also quite easy to travel within Europe. So they might think it will get taken advantage of for significantly cheaper prices. Which means less revenue for the publisher.

“Quite a bit of inflation” is a very nice way of saying “the currency is useless”.

I don’t know which currency the developers are paid in. But Valve is paid in whatever currency you spend. How they handle it from there is up to them and their bank(s).

They still have to pay tax in the countries they sell products in. I can’t speak for all countries, but they generally want to be paid in their own currency.

In the end. It’s up to each individual publisher to decide how and where to price their game. It’s a question that has as many answers as there are publishers. I assumed we were all under that understanding but clearly I was mistaken.

Steam does not decide the price. The publisher does.

They used to accept Argentinian pesos. But no one wants it because it’s worthless so that’s why they have to pay in USD.

Because the value of 1 euro is always 1 euro no matter where in EU you live.

Games are priced the same in California as Florida despite California having a higher cost of living.

Same thing. Because 1 dollar is 1 dollar.

You can launch non steam games via steam and get access to their steam controller software.

I have the original too. Best controller I’ve ever used.

They stated that reason very clearly in their original comment. I suggest you read it if you want to know why.

Contact your representative, not your local FOSS maintainer.

They’re not a US citizen.

They also didn’t say they would contact the maintainers. They said they’d just change distro to a non-systemd one.

And you’re nothing but silly trying to act like this isn’t about age “verification”. We know it is, because it comes in response to the new california law

Personally, I just don’t like the taste of asslicking in my distributions. Time to change to a non systemd distro.

The former part has been a thing for hundreds of years.

But yeah I suppose they would use it to change the price dynamically on a constant basis based on demand.

Though I’m not sure that’s even legal to this extent in EU. It’s a product for purchase. Not a stock. But you’re right. It does sound bad.

It’s nothing new. It’s been done for the past 20 years. Products are priced differently in different countries based on their economy.

You have been able to do this in Steam for decades now. You can/could use VPN along with changing your location in steam, to trick it into thinking you are in that region. You would then get that regions prices.

E.g, lots of Steam games used to be noticeably cheaper if Steam thought you were in Russia as opposed to Germany.

It’s not running an individual desktop for each screen. The screens are just mirrored to one desktop.

You’ll usually have a couple of “ad desktops” and then you just hook up multiple screens all over your facility to those desktops, so you have some redundancy and can easily run different ad cycles so they all don’t sync up.

I’m bias, but Sly Raccoon is such a great series. I thoroughly enjoyed it growing up. I see you have Sly2 in your image. I would suggest starting with the first game and move up from there.

You’re an idiot. we’ve had patents since the 15:th century.

Yes you generally do need to involve a business partner that has the means to produce the product in any meaningful capacity.

Or, if we go by what you want. They don’t even have to partner with you. They’ll just start making it themselves and push you out of the market because there’s absolutely nothing that would prevent them to.

Patent law is the foundation of which our entire civilisation rest upon. I can agree it can be flawed and/or exploited sometimes.

But only a useful idiot would want patents to not exist at all. It’s the only thing that protects your innovation from being stolen by those with means to outproduce you.

It’s literally there so when you invent a new product, others (wealthy companies) can’t just steal your design and flood the market with cheaper versions due to the fact that they can mass produce it.

No don’t want to guess. I’d rather ask him directly instead of making assumptions.

You will find such language pretty much everywhere. And there are reasons for it. A good example are certain drugs that are technically not illegal. Because they have not been officially classified yet.

That used to be a thing here in Sweden some time ago, where they’d just change some little compound and could technically, legally sell it online until it was deemed otherwise. Because it’s now technically a new formula. Once it was classified, they just repeated the proceas.

MasterCard might not want to be seen as an enabler in the drug trade. So while it’s technically legal. They don’t want anything to do with it. And would like the option to take action.

And according to the articles. It’s not MasterCard pointing to that regulation, but the processors. As MasterCard notes. They’re not a bank, they’re not processing your payment. They just provide the technology to do so.

Furthermore. I’m quite amazed that people seem to think Valve is this really good company that we can all trust and take their word on. Valve says one thing. MasterCard says another. I wouldn’t take either one of them on just their word. Better to take a step back, and see how it develops so you don’t make yourself a useful idiot.
