also a big thing was the rapid openings of malls in the 80s and 90s. honestly they opened too many of them then just kind of limped along as it was too hard to close and Sears kinda funded them till their death.

problem is pc gaming never died and has been healthy all along but when retailers stopped selling cause they made more profits with consoles or we stopped buying. the industry or more like the suits and media made a native that pc gaming died. we just went to the guy that respected us and now he has a dragons hord of wealth and moved in beating the consoles at their own game by respecting is with an open platform.

alternative headline "steam users have a ton of games they got from a humble bundle for super cheap and we didn't take that into account and used the msrp value of each game for this shocking headline."

Also some games don't count time on older games. i know I have games like half life 2 episode 1 that i have beaten that show I never played them since I played them before they started tracking time.

Can you imagine what it would've be like if more companies has these handover moments. Support is officially handled over to the community. People pick up touch and the developers get to move on.

it is really good and has a great pay off. So much so that it turned me from not knowing him at all to getting what ever he writes without question or even reading the synopsis, but if you are looking for light hearted story this is not the series for you at this time.

honestly the biggest problem with the media is. Linux represents the very thing corporate culture in those media empires just can't fathom. the idea of cooperation for the greater good that Linux represents and not being 100% profit motivated. They just don't get it and worse they see it as a threat. Microsoft can be a competitor to them but the idea of open source is a competitor to the whole system and that is a far greater threat to the people on top.

The logic I always subscribe to is, issues in Linux can be fixed maybe not by you or me but someone at some point in the future. On a long enough timeline we win. Where as it's not an issue with Windows, but a business decision to annoy you and thus can never be fixed.

I will say that your statement that no one cares about what their OS is. it kind of makes the point. If no one cares. Why would you use a nonfree OS? Other than the FUD and that it's just what was used before.

They said a 5 day work week was a pipe dream but strong unions and literal lives were lost to bring that about 100 years ago.

If we did it once we can do it again. Lasting change is slow but if we keep pushing change can happen. On a long enough timeline we win.

i mean they are both animated. They tried to film on location but the camera operator keeps getting burned in the nebula.
