? What? This makes complete sense…
E. G.: “You are just using Windows” “You are just using Proton Mail” “You are just using xyz”
Lol who the fuck uses the promotions tab?
You are just using Gmail poorly.
Like going to a shopping centre and complaining the stores have ads in front of their stores. There’s legitimate concerns about Google and then there’s just dumb users.
Jesus lol.
This is probably true for big games, but I wouldn’t get angry at any small developer for not supporting Linux. It’s just not worth it/still such a small base.
It’s a hard call at end of day. If you want it to all be privacy respecting and open source and decentralised then you’re almost guaranteeing you won’t make money from it.
The alternative is ad based software that’s free which is also garbage.
Hard to find the balance between the two, can’t think of many examples if any that actually work besides just making a paid product that’s very good and hope it’s better enough than the rest to be successful. But even then you likely will have to cross lines because you’re just relying on viral luck at that stage.
