Am I misundersnding somethings here? It’s the ownership/license that is decentralized. So a user could do whatever they wanted with that license (keep it, resell it, give it away). But at the end of the day there always needs to be a way to use that license to download the game files. That’s the bit that is shutting down.
This distinction likely doesn’t matter to the people losing access to the game, but most of the comments here seem to fundamentally misunderstand the setup here.
Can I ask a question here without being flamed?
Isn’t this the best option? The reason to push this onto Operating systems is because they could in theory do the verification completely client side without involving a remote service.
And if applications can then just use that age check API provided by the OS it would greatly increase the privacy of these types of features.
(I’m not at all trying to say I support these sorts of checks, I’m just asking this under the assumption that these age gates are here to stay)
Curious to see where this lands. I’m not in that space, but it sounds to me like this could be an overcorrection before we know how much more common those rarer items are becoming. It still all comes down to luck of the trade ups
Isn’t that what they did? Except to help preserve the “value” if the rare items you still have to get lucky to be allowed to buy them.
If they had a store where you could buy the ultra rare skins for 1000$, that would push down the “value” if the skins more quickly.
I’m so surprised that municipalities weren’t willing to reduce development charges when they had a promise of maybe possibly getting provincial funding. I never could have imagined that would happen…
Yes, when combined with the switch 1
I keep retyping what I want to say, but I think my feelings come down to:
I do think the switch 2 will do just fine, but I also think there are a lot of people who loved their switch 1 who might look at the games they played, and look at upgrading to a steamdeck instead of the switch 2.
When did lies become hyperbole?
You said something untrue and then tried to continue to justify it as if it were true. If you were indeed trying to make a joke by exaggerating that should have been your initial response to my question, but instead you run into it.
You don’t have to dumb anything down, if anything you need to step it up a notch if you’re trying to pass off lies as truth 😛
Edit: if you’re curious, what you did isn’t hyperbole at all. Hyperbole would be suggesting that Brookfield will own all the rental properties, or something along those lines.
Trying to state that the government is planning to work with Brookfield to do this program isn’t hyperbole unless there is a grain of truth to exaggerate, which there isn’t. You can’t exaggerate a lie and turn it into hyperbole.
It doesn’t matter what carney was the president off. You said that Brookfield would be the owner of these houses, and based of the evidence we have and you provided, there is zero proof that that’s the case.
There is nothing else really to discuss. You made something up and stared it as fact, and you acknowledge that it’s at best a guess based off weak connections.
I thought they were meant to be sold off to the private sector for short term gain
Where did you read that?
I played this a bunch back when it launched. I did enjoy it a fair bit.
This didn’t work in Canada. That is the carbon pricing system we have and still the opposing party has made it so unpopular every party has said they will remove the system in the next election.
Despite lots of evidence that the carbon pricing system we have was a net positive for most Canadians, people still are convinced it’s the cause of inflation.
What is considered an unnecessary expansion? Is this just when they add more variety of classes or start teaching new programs that there weren’t enough people to support before?
I think uptime Kuma can be configured to look for expiring certs
The list of items Canada is adding a tarrifs to has also been released https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-retaliatory-tariffs-united-states-trump-1.7448559
I only asked my question because the original commentor was suggesting that US prices were going to go up because Canada was adding export tarrifs.
I assume that because they deleted their comment they realized that wasn’t true.
Which products is Canada putting an export tarrif on? This is news to me.
What is aegis in this case? (It’s way too generic to successfully search for)
So if I’m following this correctly. The US government gave TikTok a year to sell their US operations, they did not and were blocked. Trump came in and gave them a 3 month grace period, to allow them the opportunity to sell their US operations again…
Why does he expect this is going to go differently? TikTok already showed they would rather go dark than sell.
Ya for sure in this case the platform that hosts the downloads is going down, but that was never the promise of distributed platforms like this. It’s more like owning a CD that still requires an internet connection to download the updates.
You’re free to give that CD to anyone you want, but if the publisher shuts down the server you’re shit out of luck.
In theory someone else could come along, leverage that some blockchain and let people get access to their games again (this isn’t actually going to happen)
Now I know I’m making a lot of assumptions on how this platform actually implemented blockchain and such, but that is how the technology under the hood works. The part that I assume breaks this is that i bet that the company actually maintained private keys on behalf of the users, and if users didn’t actually have their private key then there was actually no benefit to the blockchain and it was just a marketing ploy.
