Du sprichst von Leser und Leserin bei Alternativen und freien Entscheidungswahl, und das zeigt mir, dass du die Intention hinter Geschlechter gerechter Sprache nicht erkannt hast. Denn Geschlechter sind nicht auf die zwei Rollenbilder von Mann und Frau beschränkt, es ist nur die Norm geworden, während Inter geschlechtliche oder trans Menschen ignoriert bzw. überlesen werden. Leser*innen und Mitglieder*innen macht sämtliche Personen in Schrift sichtbar. Sie werden nicht in Rollenbilder gezwängt oder “einfach schon immer mit gemeint”.

Sprache und Schrift formt Denkmuster, das beweisen viele Studien und Straßen-Experimente, in denen bspw. nach erfolgreichen Schauspielern und anschließend erfolgreiche Schauspielerinnen gefragt wird. Selbst beim generischen Maskulinum ist die Sichtbarkeit eingeschränkt, so oft wir auch vorgeben wollen, alle mitzumeinen. Das Asterisk macht nun auch die anderen Vertreter*innen des Geschlechtsspektrums sichtbar.

Auch wenn laut Artikel die vorherigen Bestimmungen gelten, wirkt es doch alles sehr frustrierend. Gerade der Finanzierung wegen. Die Industriestaaten dürfen quasi ausbeuten, aber zahlen sollen alle gleichermaßen. Das ist unverhältnismäßig und unfair. Ich verstehe den globalen Süden komplett, wenn sie einen Fond wünschen, um mehr Mitspracherecht zu haben. Dass die konservativ geprägte EU das nicht bewilligt, spricht für die EU… Und zwar negativ. Gerade Konservative müssten doch den Naturerhalt erwünschen… Aber soweit geht Konservatismus natürlich nicht. Der Markt Die Natur regelt das schon. Amen.

Ich muss bei der EU mittlerweile immer wieder über Nico Semsrott und seine Präsentation denken. Und es lässt mich echt nicht hoffnungsvoll zurück.

That was so much fun!

I am so ready for this. The dual blade demon mode switches looked so amazing, and the animation in general. Ahh, I want to play it and enjoy it.

Please don’t disappoint me.

That’s the way to go into the future.

Must be due to the epic prison which they enforce as epic invested in its development (which is in their rights, but I really do not like due to how they achieved this in the long time since their exclusivity buyouts).

Thank you for this article, really insightful. That’s good news.

I also agree with you. I think it is one of the factors at play here. But your argument is a big one, too. We outsourced a lot of production and thus knowhow which they have adopted and improved upon. The possibility of a tech wise dependence on one nation gives a lot of power to those, which is also why certain technology sectors should be brought back.

So you say that is the reason for this decision?

Thank you for answering my question.

That’s not what is critizised here, is it?

I might misunderstand but I thought the cheap production of necessary components for green energy coming from China, only possible by shortcuts of reducing worker rights or otherwise exploitation of ressources, should be countered.

They are currently losing money with their strategies either way, because exclusivity is expensive, free games, too. Luckily they still have the Fortnite money…

But they are winning something else. User numbers. Claimed games as ‘purchases’ on their storefront. Active users per month. User binding to their ecosystem by having more and more games in their library, for ‘free’. This looks good for stakeholders ready to invest, or publishers to accept exclusivity deals in their future.

And with time, the attrition towards their store will reduce so more and more become paying customers with their dubious tactics.

Something like !upliftingnews@lemmy.world (is this the correct syntax?) ?

More VR games are welcome… however, limiting an already small market by platform exclusivity on Meta Quest really doesn’t seem to be a great idea. I’m really sad about this.

I am so hyped for this title. I really dig its style and theme. Sadly it also has those pre order exclusive rewards, but meh, I can ignore it. 2024.10.11, I’ll be ready!

I had this issue a couple of months ago, when I tried to login via email. Try it with your username if you haven’t already.

Anno 1800 is a really great game by Ubisoft.

Thank you for your comment! You bring up many arguments regarding their stats I would have added, too, especially that it does cost them per claimed free game.

In my opinion though:

They will use these numbers of higher purchases towards shareholders and publishers. We can see their thought process: e.g. WB Suicide Squad - a game as a service squad loot shooter might potentially bring in a lot of money in the long run, so stop developing singleplayer, go for the player number.

Publishers with their IPs of games might get approached by Tim/Epic, that they should exclusively sell their games on their platform as they have so many active users per month, purchases of this and that high number, with currently x million registered accounts and growing, creating an increased player/customer commitment. And as a player’s library grows, their reluctance to commit to this platform decreases. Resulting in more money for the publishers if they follow Epics road, at least in a predicted long run.

They still have their budget to invest in the long term growth by offering free games and buying exclusitivity of third party titles (in the past), more and more though their own published or development supported titles nowadays (better if I ignore their past behavior).

They also increase their influence by introducing Easy Anti Cheat in more and more titles, which only works due to their reach in the market. This is especially troublesome for Linux players but also for those who do not trust Epic’s scanning procedure on ones tasks, processes, services and files (when we keep in mind how they scanned certain files in folders in the past).

If you should delete your account or not, I cannot say. Data can be interpreted in many ways, they can be read positively by highlighting certain aspects while neglecting others. The same, of course, the other way around.

I have not used my epic account for many years since their Metro bait and switch action, but still keep it as I still have the developer account from previous projects on the UE4. If I had to interpret the data of my account, I have it since a long time, but am no active user, reducing their commitment percentage of active engaging users with their storefront. And I can only hope the attrition rate increases so their store won’t become so attractive to publishers for future titles, reducing the chance of further (time) exclusive games.

We could have tried to discuss our differing views on that topic, but I will not force you.

Thank you for your elaborate opinion.

May I offer you a reading recommendation to form an informed opinion? I edited the comment with a link. Maybe it might just humor you.

The last times I checked, probably a year ago, for Monster Hunter World, this didn’t work as it only supported 1.x, but your comment made it seem like it can be swapped by a modern implementation. Is this really the case for MHW nowadays? That would be amazing!
