I’ve just assumed they don’t care. They’ve done scummy shit for years, and it doesn’t really matter because they’ll still sell massive amounts of their first-party titles. So any bad faith they garner with a subset of their audience or old fans is just dust in the wind since it won’t ultimately impact sales.

Or they can keep using the same engine with the same issues because gamers will definitely buy their next title en-masse despite the previously mentioned issues. Eg. Starfield

That’s correct. Even with this backtrack, it’s a safe bet that they’ll likely re-introduce this same policy with different wording once they believe their consumers have calmed down.

I posted the list of alternatives simply because OP asked for forks.

What’s wrong with Firefox

Me posting this list shouldn’t be an implication that I believe Firefox to be bad. I’m offering alternatives as the OP requests.

and how do the forks address those points?

Every one of the links I shared have detailed information about how their product mutates the original Firefox or Chromium browser. Do you really need me to copy-paste that information into a comment?

Not the OP, but here are some alternatives anyway.

Firefox:

• Waterfox
• Librewolf
• Mullvad Browser

Chrome:

• Ungoogled Chromium
• Iridium
• Thorium
• Vivaldi

Glad they included such an expansive space combat update in this release. For a while it seemed like ship combat was an afterthought, but this update really does add depth to it.

I’m expecting they will introduce some online service like GTA Online along with a slew of micro transactions to make up the budget. I can’t really say why but I’m getting the feeling this will be a always-online game

Sonarr and Emby were pretty much the only things I needed to scrap streaming services entirely.

Making individual instances bigger is not a good thing, it makes everything more centralized.

I agree. I think one of the easiest ways to encourage users to bring up more instances is to minimize the requirements and steps needed to get a Kbin or lemmy instance running. Its not a very complex process to get an instance running, but it can be difficult to locate the relevant information you might need to spin up an instance without reaching out for support. That could end up putting people off of setting up an instance.

I run pretty light
