Too bad money goes directly to the publisher to decide who gets what.

I think you’re under the impression that laws apply to him. Don’t be silly

I’m just impressed this guy knows every American well enough to say this.

I had to scroll too far for this. If your child is a school and there’s an emergency, or your husband gets into an accident, or a million other very important things. You’ll just get back to them whenever? This seems borderline neglectful.

I’m saying that if they want to compete with another company they need a compelling offer, one that at least has feature parity on the big ticket items. Yes, you would then need to work to attract people, but a bare bones store front like they have is a huge roadblock. People feeling like making the switch means they lose things is not a way to encourage adoption.

Oh %100, there are some shows that gets my full attention. If I’m watching, for example right now, The Expanse then it’s the thing I’m doing haha.

I think there are different levels. I love the office, I’ve watched it through a few times. But sometimes after a long day I like to toss it on and just relax. It’s a comfort show. But having seen it so much, it’s easy to fiddle with a game while I watch. It’s a way to destress after work for me. It’s not that I don’t like the show, I’m just experiencing it a different way. As comfort background viewing, apposed to when I watch a show I really enjoy and am seeing for the first time.

A few that come to mind

• The review system isn’t nearly as good
• Tag searching is a joke compared to steam
• No steam achievements
• No direct access to updates and patch notes
• No game activity log, showing achievements you got and friends activity
• No concepts like free weekends and the such
• No dynamic collections
• Poor insight on performance with controllers or hardware like steam deck or rog Ally
• No where near the level of profile creation and customization
• No forums for game discussion
• No community content for guides and controller layouts
• No overlay options
• No mobile app
• Nothing like steam work shop
• No DLC downloading management like steam
• No curator groups to follow
• Unable to follow developers
• No remote play together
• Lack of something like big picture mode, for full controller playing. I use this a lot when I hook my PC to my TV for couch gaming.
• Lack of inventory and card items
• Built in FPS counter missing
• Beta and play test environment support
• Family sharing
• Remote game streaming
• Built in voice chat
• Rich chat that shows what game friends are playing and what they’re doing with a direct way to invite to game or invite to watch
• Seemless refund policy

The irony…

You’re really representing a lot of these with bad faith. It seems like you came into this thread with a view and used anything said to justify that view.

Your first call out about and ignores the entire point being made and the clear double standard being called out. You seem more willing to play the victim than have an honest conversation on equality.

Imagine if men behaved this way about women discussing double standards, it wouldn’t make you feel good. So why do it to men?

Nah, this is textbook double standards.

You are part of the problem that is stopping true equality. If men have everywhere to work through issues so you need a special place to do it, how does that end. You forever stay locked in that safe space because men own the public forum? Or do you try to fight for your spot in the public forum, attacking the only place you allowed men to work through issues? Or do you want a place in the public forum and your own space?

So by your own logic women have their own communities and the general forum is for men, because of this post. So should women be told not to discuss their issues in general forums like Ask Lemmy and stick to their own communities? I mean these are for men right? Seems messed up to me.

Why not just let everyone have a seat at every table? Be truly open and equal, instead of men deciding what women can have and women deciding what men can have. It’s not a hard concept.

It’s people like you that make the divide bigger every time you fight for “equality”.
