On June 10th any game purchases people made through Amazon’s Luna service will be removed, with no refunds. On June 3rd they’re ending the “bring your own library” feature where you could link to certain outside accounts (GOG, etc.) and get those to stream on Luna.
There’s more about Buy button shenanigans and digital ownership, but that’s the part the headline refers to.
Yup, and in some cases where applicable they also gave you the keys to specific publisher libraries, like I got Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odyssey added to my Uplay account with my saves intact right before Stadia shut down.
You can hate Google for lots of things, but when it comes to Stadia they handled it right.
Doesn’t apply to streaming media. You’re free to cache your media if you can store it, since you own it, but that’s not true of all people and all media. How does steam verify you own something from gog if gog shuts down? They don’t unless a distributed ledger exists, then they could.
Without the context or summary finding info is going to be a crap shoot and potentially a waste of time. Meanwhile the person posting the vid, who has the context, could simply provide some of that in non-video form. Even just a one line summary.
Any tldr? I hate watching a video of something that, probably, can be summarized in a single fucking paragraph.
I’m also not always able to watch videos compared to just reading an article

Say what you will about Stadia, but at least Google gave everyone full refunds when that shut down.

This is where blockchains can be useful. Buy once, valid everywhere always with a little support.
You have a string of bits. If the service shuts down that wont help.
Really appreciate GOG’s model instead, just give me a locally installed executable that doesn’t depend on a storefront.

I agree. YouTube thumbnail is absolute clickbait cancer, now with AI to make it more abhorrent
not to mention a video with such an offensive thumbnail
If you can’t be bothered to watch or find an article yourself, I can’t be bothered to summarise 🤷♂️
Yeah let’s just give more views to YouTube. Shut the fuck up with your shit attitude bud.
What an unnecessarily rude and aggressive comment. Yikes.
I think it was the right amount of rudeness and aggressiveness.
What a bootlicky and corporate apologist comment. Yikes.
He has a point. I’ma preemptively block you, you sound like a complete ass hole I have zero interest in ever dealing with.
“I’ll go to a video community, open a community post, complain that a video was shared and demand others summarise the video for me”.
And I have the “shit” attitude. Sure bud
I did not demand anything :)
This was in all so…
This comment alone should end the thread lol insane that it’s getting downvoted
Nobody asked you to not summarize, but here you are.

We’re on !videos@lemmy.world , not world news or something. If you wanted articles, don’t go to a video community. Simple as.
Maybe but context is useful regardless. Improved posting standards just makes for a better community.
Also this post popped up in all feed so it’s not like you’re an isolated little pocket.
Well shit let’s turn off the comments here too since text based discussions aren’t allowed in /c/videos
