People would stop putting micro transactions in games if users stopped paying for them.

How exactly is this a shower thought? (I agree by the way, but how?)

They're begging for a direct competitor.

If you want people to disable content blockers on your website, it's best not to treat the people who don't have one on like shit YouTube.

Advertisers, please do this to YouTube too. I need the dislike count back.

Why is everyone in the comments section oversimplifying this complex issue? Great reminder that that's what politics is now, blaming one side and naming the other side pure.

Just upgrade back to Windows 10.

Pet... Children?

Rather bold of you to assume I'll be watching the Super Bowl.

The EU stepped in, they have to remove it in Europe. Not sure about America though...

Fact is, they have good reasons to. Lemmy likely was threatened by a larger industry that could've thrown millions of dollars around in a court to get Lemmy taken down. The guys running Lemmy wouldn't have enough money to win a lawsuit, the website could easily be taken down by a larger entity. When it comes to losing the community or blocking a couple communities, it's an easy choice. In summary, they're just trying to save the website by avoiding future lawsuits, and these communities still exist but can't be accessed on Lemmy itself.

Thanks for letting me know this existed, I will be downloading it immediately. Edit: ReVanced isn't available on IOS, I use Android but the guy who posted this is clearly using IOS.

Dusk, not sure if anyone here knows about it though. Pretty good game.

They had a system in place that put more ads on users depending on how many used an ad blocker. When the users got used to it, YouTube realized they could push it on everyone and make more money. They'd survive as a business even if that wasn't the case anyway, Google owns them.

You don't, I don't know why it's in the directions.

No long form video content platform better than YT yet, I'll be switching as soon as someone can make something better.

ArseAssassin would never. How dare you accuse ArseAssassin of such things.

Not a game pass title, it exists outside of Xbox, I have it on Steam.

Surprising it's gained this much traction, considering Reddit literally doesn't allow this site to be linked on their platform (which is honestly so petty)

I just made a post similar to this, a bit better editing. But my joke wasn't as funny.

Geometry Dash

You make a good point actually.

It's as simple as this: -Politician does something illegal -Politician is caught -Politician tells their party members they didn't do -Party members believe politician because they're of the same party -Politician now has millions of supporters vouching for them not to get convicted -Politician doesn't get convicted

It's happened before, it's happening now, it'll happen again.

"Just make sure to make emunand as a designated sandbox for homebrew and hacking stuff."

I'll make sure to, but how do I do that? Sorry, I'm new to this.

Yep, that's right.

Upgraded my PC recently. I can now run Half-Life: Alyx, so I'm playing it. Best virtual reality game ever in my opinion.

HOW DARE YOU! I am anti-skub.

Why shouldn't Microsoft be held accountable for everything illegal people do on Windows? Why shouldn't pharmacists be held responsible for prescription drug abuse? Why shouldn't a social media website be held accountable for users infringing copyright? If something is used illegally and the person who made it is held accountable, that doesn't really make sense even if you dislike the thing. For example, I hate YouTube, but it doesn't make sense for them to be held accountable for users posting copyright infringing content.

Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user's terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service.

In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.

I want to mod it so I can rip the games from it and use them on an emulator.

You actually can't easily, any Lemmy links are just blocked and the Reddit admins are often looking for traces of the site on their platform.

Still a lot more challenging than every new 2D Mario game since the 21st century started.

Install Jerboa on your phone. Once it stops working, that means Lemmy has been updated.

Made a community :)

Made the !half_life community yesterday and it does feel like this. The only other post is a post my friend made so I could promote him to moderator. I don't have much experience so I'm not sure I'm able to fully understand your situation though.

A paid adblocker/ video downloader is worth 20$ a month for 5 people? Every feature in premium has a third party tool alternative you could easily use anyway.

Is there something I'm missing here?

I have a limited data plan, and the browser uses up a lot more data then an app would.

You said this had something to do with Spez admiring Elon, I don't use Twitter or know a lot about the guy. So I just feel like I'm missing something here.

The website has the right to choose when you can use it unfortunately. If you don't like the decision, don't use it. Or you could just use a content blocker if the cookies are the issue.
