Yeah, thanks - that must have been it. I read their post with the inference I took from the title in my head and didn’t re-examine it after reading their message. And they didn’t say anything like “it’s been a great 8 years” like a lot of similar posts might to dispel it.
I mystified what it was that I read in that post that made me think that they only lasted a month to begin with, before announcing they were shutting down in a month. And even more confusing that I’ve literally never heard of them, that seemed reasonable when I thought they were a month old.
Some people are going to get screwed pretty hard here then, if they’ve been buying games there for years. Pretty horrific management of the situation if they can’t work out a deal with steam to save people’s games.
How could their costs be high enough that they can’t survive more than ONE month after launch? But we all dodged the bullet I guess, can you imagine this happening a year in when people actually had a chance to buy multiple games from them? What a pitiful response. It’ll be harder for anybody to enter the market when things like this happen.
Don’t be a pendant, you know what they fucking meant.
Edit: actually, it’s not even pedantic, it’s just wrong. Before the internet existed, there was never an internet shutdown.
Software decoding has clearly been sufficient.
I’m using a 15 year old i5 and a GTX 970, having no issues with AV1 video. Curious what hardware you’re running.
Not from THEMSELVES, never from themselves.
I set up service in a new state last year with Comcast and was shocked that there was NOT a rental fee for the router/modem any longer. But idk if that’s them being forced to compete more than they had to in my previous area, or if they cut the fee across the board.
When I went to Montreal, I’m not exaggerating when I say that every single service worker I interacted with opened with “Bonjour, hello!” You would only have to fuck that up once if you didn’t realize what was happening there.
