You can’t get more legal than obtaining content directly from the rights holder. It’s more likely that the rights holder is leeching and recording the IP of the seeders.

removed title

Cloudflare can’t be forced to censor anything because CDNs are not actually needed by the internet, they’re just nice to have. The only place where they could actually do anything is in the registrar business, where any foul play would just result in de-accreditation by ICANN.

AWS, Azure, and Oracle do have too much power over the internet, but that’s a different scenario.

Why is Cloudflare bad for the internet?

With that much voting power why even bother having a public company.

A sustainable scene wouldn’t have dropped from a $40M prize pool to $4M. The issue is that the esports scene was not self funded, it was funded by a percentage of the base game economy.

The reduction in prize pool being related to the removal of battle pass shows that fans never cared about supporting the esports scene, they only wanted the battle pass for the skins or whatever it is that you get from it.

Even if the Dota 2 esports was sustainable, that would be one game out of dozens.

They know nobody is going to purchase the pay-per-view, but I guess they don’t care since the alternative is not getting any money anyways. Esports was never sustainable because fans refuse to spend money, so they rely on shady sponsorships from gambling sites and Saudi money.

What do you think they’re buying it for?

Yeah you’re right. Mastercard says tapping your card also sends a tokenized version or the card number.

They were made ranked on 2018, and Rocket League had its peak in player base around 2020-2021 after it became free. Unfortunately that was followed by a huge drop in player base in 2022, which led to the extra modes changes in 2023.

Tapping your card shares the card number. Paying with your phone doesn’t.

Yeah, Snow Day and Dropshot are seasonal for ranked play. That’s because they were not popular enough on their own so it was taking too long to find matches at high ranks, making it hard to get the season title. Has nothing to do with the Epic acquisition though, just a need to reduce fragmentation on the player pool.

I guess that’s true for systems that have XWayland available. For Wayland-only systems, it seems to just default (or more like fallback) to Wayland.

Great points. I now agree with you.

The changes they’ve made are adding 348953754 pop-ups every time you open a game or finish a match

it has been like this since 2017. Now there’s maybe 1 or 2 extra pop-ups for the game pass garbage. Not that it’s a good thing, but it’s hardly a difference if it’s about 2 pop-ups or 4 pop-ups.

completely useless servers

Do you seriously think Epic servers are worse than what they had before? Psyonix servers were famously horrible to the point that the CEO had to issue a statement in 2017: https://www.rocketleague.com/en/news/server-performance-a-letter-from-our-ceo/

Followed by another Psyonix statement a year later: https://www.rocketleague.com/en/news/rocket-league-server-performance-update

I’m pretty sure it has been using Wayland for at least a year or two now (I think since 1.20.4). Minecraft renders with GLFW, which supports Wayland since version 3.4. I tried it about a year and a half ago and it was fine.

The game itself hasn’t changed at all since Epic acquisition. The only significant changes they have made are making it free and removing trading which don’t affect gameplay.

Signal is against federation.

Nobody ever complained about Left 4 Dead forced bots, but somehow this one is unacceptable. Lol
