 Removed a toot on the whole "youtubers being paid" thing that a publisher started recently. I was simply coming at it from a stance of: people doing dedicated work should be paid. But my own way of explaining gave the wrong idea. I don't ever think it's right for a "review" of any kind to be paid (and I've never and will never do so). The problem really is that YouTube revenue sucks quite often, especially for lesser-known titles.

 @gamingonlinux I think someone is feeling lonely after the release of BG3. I played the beta demo of DiabloIV just before it launched.... meh - is my one word review.  @gamingonlinux IDK. Free ๐ฉ, is still ๐ฉ. I mean yeah, D3 campaing was a bit meeeh, but rifting was very fun. To me at least. In D4 the campaing is less meh but not that much better, but the post-game content just puts me to sleep. ๐คทโโ๏ธ Maybe it's just me It's hilarious to still see takes like this - Windows Central "Don't buy a Steam Deck, if you want a gaming handheld buy an ROG Ally โ here's why" There's so many problems with that article it's just funny, and sad. While yes, Windows 11 out of the box can do some things SteamOS can't - entirely fair. It makes out like SteamOS can't do things a PC can. Like word processing, web browsing, installing other stores etc.

@gamingonlinux Windows fans be like: "How can you not love & use an operating system that takes away all control of your hardware, has built-in spyware, whose company has been convicted several times by anti-trust laws for anti-competitive practices, and is just slower than other systems?" :blobcatgiggle:  @gamingonlinux windows central... That says it all. @gamingonlinux heh I did early development of a mobile game on the deck ๐ - not the best target for unreal engine editing but it was servicable!

@gamingonlinux sounds like a very good move. People can pay for it once they know they like it and have done something worth shipping.

@gamingonlinux Original Half-Life is currently for free on Steam. It had some nice updates too. @gamingonlinux I'm a little confused here. The Talos Principle 2 is on top of my wishlist, and I almost instantly bought it when the -51% notification popped up. But that game was never a 57.98โฌ title to begin with, was it? Edit: must be a bug (or a very questionable marketing trick). In a bundle with TTP1, which is 95% off, you could indeed state that the total discount is 51%... but you'd still pay full price for TTP2 GOG Black Friday Sale live with UNCHARTED released, Styx: Shard of Darkness for free https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/11/gog-black-friday-sale-live-with-uncharted-released-styx-shard-of-darkness-for-free/ If you're interested in Game Dev, Humble has another big bundle of game assets: https://www.humblebundle.com/software/ultimate-game-development-bundle-software?partner=gamingonlinux (partner) |

Like, I've done a video on a random AAA game I didn't care much about to show it off for a few minutes: massive clicks and hits.
Indie game I'm overly passionate about: YouTube hasn't seen much of it, so it buries it and people click even less.
@gamingonlinux I donโt see an issue with doing it as long as it is clearly stated and displayed. Also they should not take on ones they arenโt willing to endorse without the payment. Digital Foundry had one on Immortals of Aveum looking at the Unreal5 technology being used last week. I thought it was well done.
@gamingonlinux I don't necessarily disagree with the idea people should be paid. I think there's definitely a job market for reviewers. I also think they should be paid, but not by the company making the product. Regulating this type of thing is important.
