That doesn’t sound like any main stream user can access that.

Why are you mad about this?
Google absolutely does.
Name me 4+ more Android app stores you can use?
If you donate to the devs, of course they still have to pay taxes. That’s still income.
Okay? And physical stores don’t? This isn’t news and doesn’t address your claim whatsoever? It doesn’t compare spotify vs indi labels.
Discoverability, publishing, advertising, gigs etc.
Wohh there, that’s a lot of claims with 0 proof.
Can yo source any of that?
You’re completely right. People suck steams dick are ridiculously hypocritical and blond.
I was mocked for defending Epic trying to compete withs steam. They’re doing great work for Devs and gamers. But sadly, blind gamers (who claim they hate monopolys) aren’t self aware enough to see the trees through the forest.
Linux one, I wasn’t aware of but that does suck.
Unfortunately, due to the behaviours of the audience they are trying to gain that is likely the best and cost effective way to gain new users. But I do totally agree their launcher sucks ass and needs work.
Care to elaborate why you’re calling them Evil Games?
They are better for developers via unreal engine.
They are better for both developers and publishers via the markets lowest cut of earnings via their store front.
They pay well to try break steams monopoly. If anything, steam are the bad guys via their extortionate cut. (30%)
They are better for indie Devs on Fortnight compared to Roblox.
They do everything better than most… so place your anger correctly. I’m sick of people hating on epic while they’re the only company trying to beat the monopolys…
Let me frame this another way.
Google is monopolistic and kills any other competitor from competing. Thus preventing consumer choice.
Google is already one of the biggest companies in the world. I’ve never given them a penny in my 2 decades of service use. Yet the line goes up.
They exist because of us the consumer.
They also don’t pay, let alone treat, their creators fairly. Although they are 99% the reason they exist.
Yet Google wants more because line must go up.
There are other services I pay for such as nebula, float plane, patron specifics. But not all creators can sustain that. And I doubt it I pay for YouTube that will change. Because spoiler alert. YouTube don’t pay well. It’s sponsors and merch that keep creators alive.
Kind of a shit response to such a well written reply. Most of us would use this guide likely don’t already have any of this set up. Imagine spending so long setting this all up when there’s a good reply that can further improve on stuff before it’s in place.
Good for you knowing this before everyone else who knew! Really impressive! You’re so cool!
Now stop assuming everyone has read news that you have.
They could, they just didn’t have a CEO who wanted less pay.
Sources and refrences please.
Absolutely spot on reply.
Brand recognition and memory triggers is what big brand ads are about.
Cleanex, Hoover, Coke, most cologne/perfume ads, Old Spice…
What stock price are looking at? It’s up 50% this year.
And before you quote that it’s lower than its peak during COVID, so is the majority of not all big tech firms.
They already show ads though. Just for their own content after every episode.
It’s made me stop using their service because it’s annoying enough as it is.
Also those make me despise the advertised show and refuse to watch it already.
This is based in the US. I imagine a lot of that also comes from air con, very long commutes and other wasted office energy use.
That’s fine. Totally agree, but this (AI actors/voices etc) would just replace the celebrities with just a smaller, richer, more controlling group of capitalist fucks.
Enough? Main stream companies already accept it and it’s easily a transferable skill from unreal, unity etc to Godot.
The software isn’t new, like nocode and others, the industry quickly adapts… It’s not a fantasy world… .
I class myself as a power user, other than Galaxy Store (which is also seem mostly as bloatware) is not offered on any non-samsung phone set up.
The Amazon App Store is acceptable but also gated
