They do - it’s called “early access”

Too late. Everybody buying Palworld.

It absolutely is a valid business strategy, Apple has been winning with this strategy for like 15-20 years now. Their shit IS Fisher Price computers and Fisher Price phones and ALWAYS HAS BEEN. Most people are fucking dumb and it is designed specifically for them. So for the love of god go buy something else. Please. I’m begging you and everyone else who thinks they are smart - STOP BUYING APPLE STUFF! Like holy shit do something inconvenient for once

Yo you and everyone else replying to me need to slow down and read carefully. I’m telling you you cant change it SO GO BUY SOMETHING ELSE. Holy fuck, the shit I said above is not a compliment to apple. If you don’t get that then you are Apple’s target audience cause goddamn ya fuckin need stupid proofing.

Oh well gee wizz that sure is a scorcher right there donchya know. Really article worthy stuff, just incredible. The WWE better be taking notes so they can really talk smack on each other the right way before their next match. Those teens on Xbox live could learn a thing or two from these guys. My boots are really quavering at the thought.

Maybe it will help you be less pissy about something you cant change. Accept the fact that Apple will never change due to this fundamental business strategy and move on to a company that doesnt rely on babying their mindless customers. Or I dunno, fuck it, keep pissing in the wind and crying about smelling bad.

From Apple’s perspective it’s not shitty, it’s part of their brand. Apple products are all about stupid proofing. Its hard to fuck it up, its hard to download a malicious app or virus. Preventing side loading protects people who don’t know what side loading is. Believe it or not that’s the majority of users. Side loading wont effect profits but thats because the large majority of their customer base will never use it. Those of us who want it are a vocal minority trying to screw up their entire business strategy, so of course they won’t give it to us unless they are forced to do so.

As an American Im totally offended and I agree we should do this but I also need politics injected directly into my veins to survive so you are also a terrorist and killing me by doing this. Our country should stop you from doing this by taking over your country and pretending there’s no oil there. Also we can threaten you with an orange man.

But yes its an election year for us and I already need a break. Seriously just lock me in a padded room with no media access please thank you.

What a headline. “Series”. Theres one game out so far. And wow, the sequel has…. Something new? Bravo, thats the point of a sequel!

Are you stuck in a pickle factory? Blink twice if you’re under duress.

BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNN!!!

There are perfectly logical reasons outside of face planting to hate them. I get that the weather can be shitty outside sometimes, but I’ll take some scenery over a treadmill any day.

Upvote for discworld quotes. Pratchett was full of good advice. Some of that advice may have required living in a world full of magic and dragons but it was good advice all the same!

This is the premise of a Philip K Dick story. Forget the name of it though

It was weird voting for a best on steam deck without owning a steam deck. Seems like it would have been easy to restrict that one to accounts that have been used on a deck. Same with the VR game vote

I was wondering wtf happened in the third panel. Thanks

Good to know, sometimes when I just want to make a simple edit GIMP is a bit much. I will check that out!

I think just spreading awareness is a step in the right direction. Most people I know just have no clue and continue purchasing the established mainstream programs. I encourage people to give GIMP a try instead of buying photoshop, or OfficeLibre instead of MSOffice. Most of them are ecstatic to save a couple hundred bucks. The more people that use FOSS software the more likely we are to get the support it needs.

My real hope is that they sell off the IPs to a capable group. They sure gobbled up some great IPs and then did fuck all with them

Its a hell of a thing reading this and finding out this way. They knew in October. They knew more in November. They finally say something in December, but I have yet to receive any communication from them acknowledging the breach. Thanks Comcast. You somehow suck and blow at the same time.
