Just checked it out on steam and it seems that it’s micro transactions focuse. If it just was cosmetics it would have been ok, but since you can purchase vehicles it sounds like it’s leaning towards “get the upper hand by paying money”.

Anyone who have played the game that can tell if there’s better cars to buy for real money than you can “earn” ingame?

Did anybody bother to look at the numbers?

I checked the stats for the last 4 years here and it looks really strange. Statistics isn’t my thing… But it looks like it’s wise to be cautious and not to fully trust the numbers.

Around the beginning of last year there was a huge dip in the Windows market share that seemed to be correlating with a peek in “unknown”. Windows then catched up in a somewhat erratic way.

Mac OS also shows a weird behavior. Starts at 16%, up to 21% and the down to 14% between October and November…

It’s not likely that a huge number of people decided to buy a Mac and then trash it one month later. Same but opposite goes for the windows stats.

I think it looks like there is an uncertainty of more than the total market share Linux is shown to have…

Not saying that Linux isn’t increasing on desktop market share. Just saying that numbers seen to have quite a bit error margin and to be cautious if referring to these numbers.

The problem is that the vast majority of end users prefer apps over websites. They have no clue whatsoever that 99% of all apps are essentially just wrapped websites.

Since Mozilla has been unable to find a viable business model (No, relying on Google handouts is not a viable business model) I fear that there is only one possible future and a free web is not part of it.

I loved that game!

Why do you think they would do that?

This!

Oh good I hate that tiny little enter key.

What are you going to use then?

I still code with the mindset of “I need my software to be good or my clients will leave.”

Google still does this. As you probably already know, users aren’t clients. Users are products.

You can legally download some of the games for free.

It’s like I’m on Reddit again. So sick of hearing this tired complaint over and over to free upvotes.

Ok. Let’s be real now. Android without Google Play Services is not something that is even remotely useful for 99.99999999% of the Android users that is out there. Furthermore, if one or two of those users are your friends, then Google most likely keeps track of you quite ok anyways.

Nevertheless, good for you managing to avoid all big social media, relevant messaging apps, dating apps, commercial services apps and apps using Google Play Services.

What about “Location Accuracy”? Using WiFi and Bluetooth to higher accuracy on positioning?

Aaaaah … Doing it the American way… Fantastic! I need to pop some more popcorn.

I’m confident that Tesla will get their license plates eventually. Eventually.

Congratulations to you and the other 0.000000001% of Android users then.
