Flatpacks are very restrictive by design. While this is a good thing in many cases, it makes it very difficult for tools like EmuDeck to work properly. For example, automatically installing other applications (in this case: emulators) isn‘t easily possible. This would make a flatpak version of Emudeck pretty much useless.

While I understand your concerns, I think installing an AppImage which has been built on Github from open source code just isn‘t all that risky.

Yes, we will. This was also specifically demanded by the EU and has to be implemented by March 6th 2024.

It’s being said that Google and Mozilla already have iOS-versions of Chrome and Firefox ready for this.

Well, Nick used that term and he‘s probably in a position to know if it‘s the right one.

It‘s probably important to mention that the entire video team is gone. Some of them were fired, so the rest walked. They‘re planning to go independent soon.

Edit: Their new channel will be SecondWindGroup. They’ll do a livestream on November 8th at 11 AM CT, explaining their plans for the future. (Source)

I think it‘s different enough to scratch a different itch from time to time. Sure, the general setting and some basic mechanics are similar to AoE2‘s, but overall the game plays very differently. For example, I really like that there are fundamental differences in the play styles of different civilizations. I‘d really recommend giving AoE4 a shot, if you want to play an RTS besides AoE2.

I‘m not sure if I‘m missing something, but I‘d be really surprised if Volition was doing fine. Agents of Mayhem didn‘t do well at all and the Saints Row reboot was pretty terrible. Their last somewhat successful launch was probably the Saints Row 4 expansion back in 2015.

It‘s always sad to see a developer shut down, especially one with such history. But I can honestly understand closing a studio which hasn‘t had any great release for over eight years.

I would honestly love to see that. It would make their situation so much worse. They rely on people moderating subs voluntarily. They don’t have the manpower to do it themselves. The subs would probably get flooded with spam and NSFW content. And if there’s one thing advertisers hate more than the current blackout, it’s their ads being displayed between questionable porn.

So if reddit really did this, I wouldn’t count it as a loss for the protesters. Instead, I would go get some popcorn.
