So you are saying I am hypocrisy, because you could not find posts in my history criticizing China? And that makes my critique about the US less true or acceptable? I no longer believe in good faith of your discussion here and will end discussing with you. You have the last word if you want.
Because another countries takes away freedom and eliminates the free market, makes it a non argument if the US does the same? The US is doing the same what China does.
Tik Tok is not much worse than Facebook. The only reason is because Facebook cooperates with the US agencies, while they don’t get the information from Tik Tok. US does not like that citizen data is going to China instead being able to collect it themselves. From privacy standpoint of the end user, it does not matter who has the data; lost privacy is lost privacy.
Ban Twitter too, if you ban Tik Tok. Don’t do half ass job if you are taking away users choice.

Hmm that’s also a problem. At least the YouTube link is in the description here. I also always make sure to add a YouTube link, just for “backup” reasons.
Happy to see Invidious instead of YouTube as the main link. :-) I also use Invidious, but mostly link YouTube directly still. Will swap it too next time (if I do not forget to). About the game itself, I did not play it so cannot say much.
Edit: Ah, I remember why I put YouTube links as the main source: a) sometimes the Invidious instances goes away, and b) here in the community if someone else posts the exact same link, then it will be listed as crosspost (I think, does it?), so it has its pros and cons.
No need for sorry and its understandable. Especially if one of your games or products are stolen or used without the license, and therefor want to bring attention to the subject. I can not even imagine how much automation must exist in the web, that’s only job is to steal and “repackage” data just to sell it on another platform. Happens with videos, with blog posts, with photos, … games… and basically anything one can imagine.
Reddit all over again.
But this game is a physical cartridge for an old console. It’s not just patching and rereleasing in digital form. And it will be shipped in a box. So this is not something that can be automated (at least not by everyone, other than Amazon maybe).
I’m not sure why this was wrong to fight for.
Wasn’t the problem that Internet Archive lend more digital copies at the same time, as they had physical representations? I know this was the big topic. Probably the reason why the publishers could push this hard. So I’m a bit surprised that they have to “remove” all requested books. Are they not allowed to lend at max one digital copy for each physical copy they have?
Would you eat something where you don’t know whats inside? For me its like going into a Restaurant and they promise you it will taste wonderful, without telling you whats inside, only showing how it looks from outside. Would you eat it? That’s kind of what a proprietary emulator is for me. And I don’t have much to choose from, unlike vegetarian food (you can even make your own food out of the parts you buy). Sometimes I straight up have no other choice than use proprietary software (like Steam for Steam games, even the games are proprietary…).
I understand the nature of your comparison. We are making a compromise and accept that we have less to choose from, for our greater good and goal.
Not if its not absolutely needed to. In example Steam is a pass, or back then when I was using Nvidia cards the proprietary drivers was a must have too. I even have proprietary drivers installed for the gamepad… (and hate myself for it) BigPEmu is “just” another emulator and I can play the Jaguar games on RetroArch already. So yes, I avoid proprietary software by principle, but do make exceptions. I’m not a purist. I’m still curious to how it compares to my current solution.
Unironically, to me it was besides RetroArch (I know what it is, its not an emulator in itself, I could discuss this all day long) it was actually Yuzu. That’s because I played BotW and TotK this year on Yuzu. Otherwise its RPCS3, Xemu and Cemu off course. I’m surprised he didn’t mention Xemu at all.
As for BigPEmu, its unfortunately proprietary software. So I’m not going to test it, but wonder how it compares to Virtual Jaguar core in RetroArch.
In that case, its all Google I agree.
But that is a decision the user takes, not Google. If people don’t want to install alternative stores because its too much work, then its not Googles fault. The problem is that phone manufactures do not have the alternative stores installed (besides Samsung). Its entirely in the hands of phone manufacturers and they should be sued over, not Google.
I just want to play games.
Edit: On a more serious note, I am actually a bit on Googles side here. Because everyone can actually install an alternative store. It’s like asking Steam to add an installer for GOG and Epic Games Store in the Steam store. There is no technical limitation on the smartphones why anyone could not install alternative stores or software. The lack of installed alternative stores right from the start is not a fault of Google, but the phone manufactures who did not put these by default.
Overall, am I wrong with my observation? I really think Google is not at fault for this particular thing.
You can say what you want about the game, but that they make an offline mode for players who purchased it is commendable. At least game is preserved in this way. The only downside is, that nobody is allowed to buy the offline game from that point on. Hopefully they decide against de-listing it on Steam.
