So mean like how YouTube removed the dislike bar from being public?

The only thing that did was make it harder to know which tutorials were the best. Classic moves of a side that knows it can't convince people only force people to their side.

You're not supposed to judge for yourself. You're supposed to let the algorithm think for you. Otherwise you might click on a video with "wrong" opinions. Trust the algorithm!

It's pretty standard at this point for the corrupt to remove measuring sticks when they don't get the result they want.

The next thing they'll do is demand the definition of "player count" be changed and monitored by a 3rd party agency instead of steam so that the raw data can be wrong too.

Coronavirus dashborad showing the vaccinated had higher rates of infections that the unvaccinated says ''Hi!''.

I'm not familiar with that "dashboard". What was it?

The public health agency of my nation had a daily Coronavirus dashboard listing statistics. They removed the data for infections when the vaccinated group had a higher per-capita rate than the unvaccinated group.

They scrapped the whole dashboard when hospitalizations were getting close to parity.

Of course the woke demand more censorship instead of creating a product that their customers would like. That's their "solution" to everything.

Original reporting here but it's paywalled: https://fandompulse.substack.com/p/ubisoft-insider-alleges-that-company

What is extremely worrying .. is how bad the potential for PC Gaming scene to get when Gabe reaches the end of his path & dies. So few people with merit & principle exist at that stage of control and I do think there will be a subtle bloodbath to control the major hub for western vidya entertainment.

After all, the Feminists & Marxists captured the high ground in physical book publishing for SF&F and destroyed Masculinity in the printed scene since 2009-2010. Lord of the Rings, Foundation, Starship Troopers, and Wheel of Time would not be published as a series under these overseers.

We have to go back to physical media. There's no question what happens when Gabe dies.

Steam kills everything it ever did, re-brands itself, and declares war against it's userbase.

It happens 100% of the time.

If that happens, the pirating community will just win. No one will trust any other of thr big companies

Pirating is a worse solution than going back to physical media.

Im already pretty much sticking to games from the past anyways. I hardly play a modern game now, so I doubt I will at that point either.

But either way you're correct.

I didn't even know Steam collected that info and displayed it.

It's at the top of the community hub.

I thought you had to use steamcharts or steamdb for that kind of thing.

Steam is literally bursting with features nobody uses. Its honestly impressive how many there are that just exist without anyone noticing.

Like, would anyone even remember Big Picture exists if not for the controller support fix it often brings?

Which also puts into perspective why so many others fail. It has been years and Epic is still missing basic features, while Steam just keeps adding new shit that people don't even notice.

As usual, all valve needs to do is nothing and they will be fine. Just ignore the screeching morons.
