Generally, they offer a giant infrastruture that no other game selling platform offers:
overall, you get what you pay for.
Honestly it's pretty sad how Viruses changed from a sort of artform to just a money making scheme / espionage tools.
AFAIK, the only publicly available build is an outdated image based on debian instead of arch and not really worth running due to its state.
Linus Torvals talk at the Aalto University. Specifically a segment where he talks about how hard it is to work with Nvidia when it comes to the Linux kernel.
And it wasn't the goal to appease the community, but the shareholders.
They wouldn't understand why a new product isn't earning like gangbusters when it's a sequel to a live service game. They only see a flop that "has to leech off" the profits of its predecessors, making it a liability in the eyes of those people. They mostly care about short term profits, not long term strategies.
You could also do the Overwatch thing and shut down the servers of the previous game so people either have to accept the new game or leave. Solves the problem in the eyes of the executives.
One thing I would say justifies a new game is when you want to resolve a problem that's ingrained in the existing content, making these changes fight with the majority of the game. A new iteration, a clean slate, can help with that a lot.
This sounds more like more of a holdout shooter in the vein of COD Zombies and KF than more objective-based shooters like L4D (and Payday and Deep Rock Galactic, to name some other games in that category).
I find it annoying when outlets try to compare anything horde shooter based with L4D. It harms the game they are talking about, since these games can't compete with the more quiet yet tense moments and their fallout L4D offers due to their design.
German/Australian version. The german version is uncensored for quite some time now tho.
It could also be an interpretation thing. We often forget how riddled with context our natural language is.
But what about things that do not understand this context? For them, the request to "jump high" is not as easy. What distance is high? You could argue that athletes jump high, but in the eyes of the athlete they jump normal and they are expected to jump that high regularly, so that can't fit the bill for the wishgranter.
What about jumping to the stratosphere? We already get gimped by context, because you can't get a good context because jumping up there dwarfs in comparison to the humanly inconcievable distances such as jumping from one end of the universe to the opposite end. So using a distance is also a bust.
The last resort is reference. Frogs can be defined as "an animal that jumps high", so turning you into a frog is the safest bet to fulfill the wish without violating it through ambiguity, because you can't deny that you can see frogs as an animal that jumps high.
Isn't it also that originally captured genies had more superhuman abilities rather than unlimited power? As in they could perform a human could if they were not bound by physical limitations, but materializing stuff out of thin air is impossible for them.
Another thing I heard is that the entities that could actually do that had a witch-like deal to them, meaning that refusing a request from such a spirit most likely had some dire consequences for you.
Ignoring the shady practices of Brave Software, this doesn't really solve the problem. Sites will still use way too much scripting to be flashy, and that will continue to be a problem for everyone, because some of these sites willbe needed for some and will require all scripts to function properly.
What might help more in the long run is complain to the site owners that their site, despite you having an up to date browser, does not work on your phone. Sure, some of those complaints will fall on deaf ears, but even some changing means progress.
