I feel like I might be put on a FBI list for reading this.

My wife: They don't even sell the same stuff.

Me:Yeah, I'm sure they had to split their assets in the divorce.

Everyone gets older. Everyones body breaks down eventually. The amount of elderly who have said "I never thought something like this would happen to me". Look around Edna! What made you think you were going to avoid what happens to everyone else!?

Under promise, over deliver. The other way around only works if you're trying to capitalize on hype.

I don't get Tracy Morgan. His jokes don't seem that funny to me. He's extremely repetitive. I don't understand him. Then, one day I heard a comedian on a podcast describe him as a complete genius. He said Tracy's trick is he tells a joke that may be funny, maybe not funny, and you'll give him a little laugh. Then he repeats the joke ten times. It's no longer funny. You're just tired of hearing it. Then he repeats the joke ten more times, and somehow through the power of alchemy, it's now run full circle and is the funniest thing you've ever heard every time he says it. I think this skit has that same energy.

as a parent of high schoolers myself, I will come across other parents who will say that they tell their kids to enjoy high school because it's going to be the greatest days of their life. I disagree greatly with this perspective, but I think this type of person is who class reunions are for. I did not particularly enjoy high school so I am not seeking to relieve those days and would not go.

would this be a raw dog bare back?

We just watched Russia circumvent sanctions post Ukraine invasion. Why would anyone think China would be less capable than Russia.

Issues I can think of in the order they occur to me. These are off the top of my head refections not researched.

  1. Group think: If I shop where most other people shop I have outsourced research and decision making. Is there a good reason? maybe, maybe not but I'm going to follow the masses because I can't research everything.

  2. Stability: neither store offers physical assets so if the store shuts down my purchases could also vanish. Steam is a bigger player and appears to be more stable and GOG is DRM free.

3 The shopping experience: I personally find the layout of steam better for discovery and finding reviews. With the current epic coupon available I have looked on epic for games and if you're just browsing it is not a intuitive experience. GOG similarly has a variety of sorting tools available.

  1. private vs public ownership: Epic is a public for profit company. Over and over I have seen public companies screw there customers in the interest of profit. Valve (I believe, this is really off the top of my head) is privately held and as such can choose to prioritize whatever their leadership wants. They can't just be bought out and taken in a totally different direction.

This all could be insane ramblings but these are the things that motivate me to spend my money on Gog or steam in general.

How does OP define unlimited? There's hella diamonds but their release is controlled by a cartel inflating their value. Not unlimited surely but also not equally accessible so the price can be manipulated.

One could argue we currently live in a universe with virtually unlimited resources. It's accessibility that is the issue.

I've been eyeing deep rock galactic for awhile. I chose 4 kids and no money many years ago and have been living that ever since, but I do have quite a backlog so if it means more to someone else give it to them. Merry Christmas thanks for the cheer either way.

This is not a story about a company failing because they hid product capabilities from their customers and were underappreciated because people didn't realize how good their product was. This is a story of a company over promising in their marketing and failing to deliver.

I stand by what I said in the context of this story, which is what we are discussing. if you don't know if you can deliver a feature don't put it out there that you're trying to make the feature. If customers know you're working on something and then you can't deliver they feel like they lost that thing. If they don't know that you're working on it and you pull it out of the hat before lunch or even in a post launch update everyone is excited because they feel like they got something extra for free. Obviously on launch you should explain the full capabilities of your product. But again that is not the context of this story.

Korean Won

Do we do that here? Honest question from a transplant.
