Not everyone has $$$ to spend on a subscription service and they would locked out of content. Ads are necessary to promote accessibility of content in my opinion.
Because some people love different drinks? Water is good too but people enjoy drinking different things. I actually don't understand how so many people in this thread are completely blind to this and are like "Why don't you just enjoy the world like I do?"
Yes, but you are not the only person working for that company. I for one fight for the right of every employee of the company I work for to be treated fairly and greatly. Just because YOU have a good relationship with your company (or more so with your manager) doesn't mean everyone is on equal foot. I feel extremely uncomfortable when my coworkers are crying for help and all I show is indifference.
Although I think it's extremely important to move forward in making artists do less work, I do not expect that a full zbrush model without any retolopogy to go into the engine and expect it to just work, specially because most of the time you also need to take care of animation and texture/uv. Also I also worry about download size. So there are still many reasons why you'd want to optimize the hell out of a mesh in a game engine even if it has the capability to support millions of polygons.
You are slicing her up not the article. It is simply stating that no woman has ever achieved a ranking as high as she did and it also happens to be a woman of color. I don't think it's that hard to understand, is it? Also, this is indeed significant because it puts hope to so many woman and woman of color that they can achieve it too and not be afraid of be who they are in America.
Simple question to whoever is honestly defending Apple: What if Windows prevented people from installing anything on their computer except from the Microsoft Store. Then Microsoft forced every app to use their payment system and then charged an excessive 30% fee for each transaction. Would you think that's an abusive and illegal practice?
As a customer, if the game I'm about to buy was able to be polished because of additional funding/saving, I'm interested in the game being exclusive.
As a customer, if the game company has better chances of surviving paying their employees a decent wage, making quality games that I can enjoy, I'm interested in the game being exclusive.
As a customer, if the market could have more store options other than Steam so prices can be more competitive and developers can choose better deals, I'm interested in games being exclusive.
Also as a customer I can decide to just not play the game because of exclusivity and move on.
Why is Mario not on Steam? Why is The Last of Us or Uncharted not on PC? Yeah it sucks games are not ubiquitous but it's not always in the best interest of game developers to distribute their games everywhere and I think it should be perfectly understandable from the point of view of customers.
Also, from the point of view of Epic, I guess it's expected they want something in return for funding projects.
I don't get the anger people direct towards Epic when in fact they are doing a good thing for the market that very few companies would have the power to do.
No, you're wrong. The key difference you're missing is that Epic is not forcing any developers to do anything. They can do whatever they want, but IF and only IF they want some funding they need to sign a deal that benefits both parties. Gamers don't lose anything because they can still play the game, if anything it's better because now the game developer was able to polish or finish a game with the additional funding they have.
If this was Microsoft Windows I am sure you would have your pitchforks ready. Just rephrase your statement with Windows and you'd see the absurd of your statement.
Thing is, Facebook is just forcing views by showing a live stream on people's feed. This alone makes it grow exponentially. It also solves the biggest problem Twitch has at the moment: not being able to promote lesser known streamers. I've see plenty of unknown people streaming on Facebook with 100+ viewers. This is actually good for streamers.
Reading so many positive things about Apple Maps here for sure looks like astroturfing since I've had some really frustrating experiences with Apple Maps in the past.
I have witnessed more and more people from the gaming industry switching back to the boring programming jobs. Why? Because they get to have a life and play video games too.
I'm probably missing something here, but what is the value of this when you could write a script that would do just about the same? (Serious question, I want to know the answer, not rhetorical)
Your second part is wrong. According to the data most users don't dig deeper, they just stop at the answer Google already gave. MortgageSite doesn't even get the traffic in the first place.
