Due to the way Steam refunds work I feel this wasn't their end goal unless they really didn't think it through at all.
The theory i subscribe to is that they intended to release a "decent" game but had no experience or intent to make it themselves. The marketing hype machine was to build community hype, which would drive investor funding so they could pay for new talent or to just outsource most of the work. I'm guessing that either didn't materialize or they mismanaged that plan.
"...and nobody is paying attention..."
This is something we read and hear about every single day. Not sure how much more attention we could give it.
They're advertisers disguised as reviewers.
This is just Randy's latest magic trick. Making a ton of his employees disappear!
Jellyfin is an open source alternative without any subscription or fees
...because the leaker plead guilty. If he went to trial this would have taken longer.
Does no one read the article or understand basic legal processes?
I'm not that worried about my laptop in regards to physical access because I don't usually leave it in public unattended for long.
My car? Sometimes that thing sits in a parking spot or paid garage for weeks when traveling. I also leave it unattended in public most times I go brick and mortar shopping.
I stopped riding in cabs after the umpteenth time of getting pressured to pay in cash instead of credit card or being told the "meter was broken" and I had to pay a flat rate.
Ridesharing has a lot of problems but they're a much better customer experience.
AV1 is missing from the current shield and would be great to have as part of an updated model.
Deez must run on D's.
There's a bunch of analytics tracking and cloud integration in Plex. They are interested in what users are watching, which is concerning.

Switch to Jellyfin or another open source server.
There's no manual safety to disengage on Glock handguns, a common standard issue sidearm.
They have safeties such as a split trigger, but they're intended to stop negligent discharges. There's no switch or button to turn it on and off a "safe" mode.
AGS took their working forums for Lost Ark and other games, deprecated them and turned them to read only and switched entirely to Discord.
The tin foil hat side of me says it's so all the complaints stopped showing up in Search Engine results. Also no pesky archives or waybackmachine to properly inform customers.
Tesla still has advantages like an extensive charger network and the appearance of FSD on the horizon to general consumers. People that follow EV closely know there are better options, but they're a minority.
Not to mention the fact that places like Lemmy give the company and its CEO never-ending free press and coverage.
If I believed fascism and camps were coming for me I wouldn't let lack of citizenship stop me from fleeing.
I'd be working under the table jobs as a undocumented worker.
You don't have to walk away, you can migrate.
We tried that with Lemmy and many great communities only have one or two people posting consistently.
Most people don't care about behind the scenes
No more anonymous alt mod accounts please.
I still don't understand why there wasn't a single other user on this instance that could have been modded without legal worries. Really felt like a copout to go anonymous and slowly transition the rest of the team to alt accounts as well.
Less QA work needed upfront, with the added benefit of selling the game twice to a lot of people when PC finally releases.
It's not dated thinking, it's profit focused.
GOG lost my trust with the Hitman situation, and lashing out at customers that were leaving reviews detailing the situation.

They also sneakily updated the page to mention the DRM after people had bought the game.
Thus why I specifically said appearance and also mentioned it was for the uninformed.
I don't believe FSD is anywhere close to commercially viable for Tesla.
Reality doesn't matter when you're selling an idea or image. Its really easy to get lost in our nerd bubble and think everyone else reads about this stuff every day.
The option to skip was there 20 minutes after launch until now.
It said required in the popup, but still had a skip button with no consequences.
What festivals aren't providing water stations anymore?
Most people just don't look for the stations, or don't want to wait in the longer line.
They just want their privacy!
How so? They're expensive cups with an active resale market. This looks like generic retail theft.
Yet the game still constantly crashes and has weapons and armor that have no effects.
A lot of users here were pushed out of other communities. They carry the toxicity with them.
It has been shown to be more profitable than higher priced ad-free tiers.
I'm bracing for a near future where premium "ad-free" goes away entirely and you have the choice between lots of ads for free and less ads for money.
US vs Russia means NATO vs Russia, you don't want to see that war. It will not be fought with infantry and tanks.
I like to have a diversity of thought and thought the Fediverse of all places would be promoting that. Instead everyone lumps into tribes and follows groupthink without question.
I've been here since LW started and belong here just as much as anyone else.
I stopped buying on GOG when they shifted their stance on DRM suddenly and allowed it into their store.
Have they changed stances in the last year or two? Maybe, but they already lost my trust with their initial responses.
I'm still waiting on the Switch Pro that's been clickbaited by so many "insiders" and analysts over the years.
Use Quality Profiles and default to a lower quality. You can set the profile for each item when adding it, or change it after the fact.

Nope, no Kickstarter or obvious public funding before the early access "release".
There's a chance some people weren't able to get refunded but due to Steam's refund policy I suspect most got their money back.
If it was always intended to be a total scam and never release they'd likely have used their own launcher to bypass the Steam revenue share and refund policy.
Nintendo is one of the most litigious game companies there is, and Palworld Dev is also based in Japan so there's no international complications.
If Nintendo had an infringement case at all they'd already have buried Palworld.
My laser printer being on the same circuit causes my UPS to trip unexpectedly even though they aren't connected. I've had to move it to another breaker.
I may have misused the term, thanks. As far as the split trigger my understanding is that's for cases where your finger or other object unintentionally partially pulls the trigger.
There's an additional safety on glocks for drops where the firing pin is blocked by the trigger bar unless the trigger is pulled in a manner that satisfies the split trigger mechanism.
Totally agree and I have a hunch on who the mod was but that doesn't really matter to me much. I'm not asking anyone to unmask them.
That said, was there really not a single other candidate available that didn't "need" to become anonymous?
You're commenting on an FPGA handheld with OLED, not an AliExpress android clone. Where are you seeing kits for less?
I had a similar issue and it was due to a typo in my Timezone field for Compose
She turns 35 just before the next president takes office, meaning this is the first election she could legally become president. Coincidence???
Absolutely a coincidence. This is all a marketing stunt, but the conspiracies have been fun to read.
