They switched their backend and you might need to clear your DNS cache in order for it to resolve properly

No no, they have proprietary methods of aggregating install data so they will know.

Thanks. I’ll take a few and leave a few: …,

Depending on how long the backlash can stick around, I would expect to see it go down with a large exodus. In particular, if Microsoft gets upset about the impact it could have to gamepass. Unity does seem to be backtracking, but it really feels like they overextended on purpose to make the actual result feel less shitty

Yeah, I did read it. Doesn’t mean he didn’t know that there would be backlash

You think they just suddenly came up with this model? No shit they have to jump through hoops. That doesn’t stop them from doing it in advance of something like this

So he sells a bunch of shares right before the announcement that is likely going to tank their stock price

If we could only use some sort of… identifier to know when a game has been installed… like some kind of… serial number or key that is unique per copy…

The original announcement stated it was retroactive

Just be rich and pay the extra yearly fee so you don’t gotta pay as much per install. Duh

Have never had a popup ad like this. Maybe because I have all of that stuff turned off?

Seems like an oddly specific reason to run Linux on your personal machines tho.

There are tons of other issues that are far more relevant and affect more users than simple windows store popup ads that most people don’t seem to get.

Yes, windows is heavier. Yes, it will use more power and resources. It’s not intended to conserve resources and run on every system known to humankind. We all know this. How it is a surprise to anyone is beyond me

I was going to comment “I never thought the leopards would eat my face!” But then I noticed the community it was in. Lol

Right. Many are hitting with the “it should have been handled in private” line, and it’s kind of annoying. Journalists report on things, and GN did just that. Reported on an issue that has been gaining in public discussion over time. This deserved transparency, and I hope that having it put out there will help LMG/LTT fix their shit. I’m sure I can speak for most of us in saying that we WANT LMG/LTT to SUCCEED. We want to see them produce quality content. But they can’t do that with accurate information right now, despite their public desire to provide that.

LTT: says they want more accuracy, so they build a whole fucking lab for it.

Also LTT: puts bad data into the video anyway because time

That’s literally enough said. It’s not an attack on LMG, it’s pointing out legitimate concerns about LMGs internal processes because these easy to catch errors are getting through all the time.

They test a water block prototype on a card it wasn’t designed for, and then review it as a finished product with the bad data.

It’s a pattern over a long period of time that has been called out by the community. GN is fully right to be putting this out there. Even if you disagree with Steve’s assessment, he’s right to be pointing out things he has concerns with.

This is only during an update to the community, correct? As in, changing some community setting?

If that’s the case, it is ensuring that the languages selected for the community are a subset of the site languages and not some arbitrary value. Which is necessary for ensuring that funny business has not been done to the community settings via some raw call or request manipulation.

If it’s only doing this on community edits, then the performance hit is worth it since it shouldn’t be done very frequently in the normal course of use.

Try profiling the time it takes to complete the update request and see if it is actually as bad as you think.

Another option would be to check the languages provided to see if they have been changed, and only do the subset check if they have. That’s really the only time it matters to make that check.

For sure.

E2E should never be broken by the 3rd party enabling the communication.

That would defeat the purpose

For those interested in seeing it in action

No, they shouldn’t.

That’s the end of the argument.
