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
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.
Say what you will about Stadia, but at least Google gave everyone full refunds when that shut down.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
They knocked off kurzgesagt’s style and made it look so clickbaity. So gross.
I’ll defend Infographics here. These guys do a great job with their content IMO. Yes, the titles and thumbnails are always kinda cringe but they have been putting out good stuff consistently for years and do so without AI. They always get shit for their titles but the content itself is way better than what you’d expect usually.
That’s good to know that they aren’t just using AI to mimic Kurzgesagt and that their content is legit. Thanks.
I might give them a try but I really can’t stand clickbait titles and thumbnails to the point I just disregard them outright in a futile effort to discourage such behaviour.
Interesting to note. I saw they were ripping off the kurzgesagt style and blocked the channel immediately. If they are legit I may check them out.
and people wonder how steam does so well.
Steam has the exact same setup, you don’t own anything there either. It is all perpetual limited licenses. The only difference is that Steam has so far kept up the illusion of ownership.
This should be legally disallowed, “Buy” means ownership.
You are both correct. I’ll usually double buy my favourites. One of steam early on, especially for Linux compatibility ease, then on gog years later on sale.
Don’t you get the game files on steam tho?
Some times. Officially, all games on Steam include DRM and are supposed to run except if launched from the Steam launcher. Some developers do not bother getting that DRM working correctly.
Yes ypu do and ypu can run them offline outside of the steam launcher. Not the same as cloud games
There has to come a point with this shit where you just roll your eyes and blame the people who were dumb enough to invest in this shit, again.
Hell, this isnt even the first time Amazon has taken away games you purchased on Amazon.
Yup. I point anyone interested to slsk. I share 7000 movies on there, couple hundred series, 400k songs. Nzb and newshosting is also very nice.
I’ll never buy another digital item like this unless I’m desperate.
Yep. I’ve had so many digital CDs and game downloads I’ve bought on Amazon (not recently, long time ago), and amazon basically went “Welp, we’re not carrying this shit anymore, fuck you its gone” so all the games I paid for, gone and can no longer access.
All the music I paid for, gone and can no longer access.
Digital downloads are a scam, digital goods are not owned goods as long as you need to have someone elses server be accessed in the process.
GOG.
Offline download of the installer. Its yours.
I have a ton of stuff on my gog account also, makes it easy to install on bazzite
😱
/s
Streamfab FTW
Not mine. I’ve got my library locally.
Just to save you a click and a minute… the headline is misleading. They’re talking about certain games on the Luna cloud service (whatever that is), NOT your Kindle library or anything else.
Scamazon doing Scamazon things? Don’t say it be like it do!
