It has to be more nuanced than “self-published”
It doesn’t need to. Definining it as “self-publishing” is enough.
otherwise everything EA craps out is “indie”.
And because of the above, EA games might very well fit the definition, yes.
This clearly shows that maybe we shouldn’t use “indie” to describe good games (or the lack of it to describe bad ones). It should just be used to define “means of publishing”.
The fact that they were there in the first place is a problem.
Why does a game that has been published by some other company calls itself “indie”???
The term itself is becoming more and more meaningless with the passing time.
If a feature needs a button to disable it, it IS opt-out, not opt-in.
You too are falling for their bullshit, as well as to my blocklist.
plonk
Since when a kill switch means “opt-in”???
You are falling for their bullshit.
No worries! And indeed!
Except that is a thing only for selling steam keys outside steam. There are no price parity clauses.

Also here is a gamedev saying that they’ll sell their game for a cheaper price on EGS: https://twitter.com/HeardOfTheStory/status/1700066610302603405

If what you saying was actually the case I am 120% sure Tim Sweeney would be all over it lol.
Lastly, there was ALREADY a case like that (Valve vs. Wolfire). The courts couldn’t find anything regarding Wolfire’s claims and then dismissed the case.
You forgot the part where the installer fails just right before the end. Every time.
Had this occuring on both my laptop and someone else’s that I was trying to install Bazzite to, which resulted in installing Fedora on their laptop instead (and back to EndeavourOS on my end), and even Fedora’s new installer errored out too. Thankfully the OS was working though.
I am suspecting your 6th point for that one, which even if it wasn’t I consider it a colossal failure on their part because it is NOT TELEGRAPHED AT ALL. I shouldn’t have to stumble upon random forum posts to learn about it, come on.
What about Fooyin?
I love how people immediately downvoted you to hell for this lmfao.
Like yeah, the guys on the comments: only people use rm -rf, absolutely no scripts use it at all. Something like motherfucking STEAM absolutely didn’t remove people’s data that one time. And hey, their so beloved --no-preserve-root didn’t prevent that from happening. :D
I love and currently use Linux, but my GOD some Linux people are annoying.
If something like del C:\*.* somehow ended up deleting your D: drive too, we wouldn’t stop hearing the end of it, but here on Linux systems, it is a perfectly normal thing, and people somehow DEFEND this atrocity lmfao.
rm shouldn’t exist at its current form. Full stop.

I think that’s just Win10 with RetroBar
Like legit, the guy hates Ataturk’s guts, yet these idiots claim that he is a Kemalist.
I want what they are smoking. Must be some pretty good shit.
Ah yes, the guy who had no ill will towards anybody, tried to unify people to the best of his ability, and provided cheaper food for the poor… is a Nazi!
Holy shit, the sheer stupidity needed to come up with such a take!

I too have installed Win11 Pro several times on computers, captain obvious. I know you can do that now.
I am asking that how did you reach to the conclusion that they won’t remove it in later builds from the article itself.
It doesn’t state anything of the sort in the article. Where did you read that?
There is none of them, because there is absolutely nothing connecting the former to latter. Since Neowin stated it themselves, the burden of proof lies entirely on them and they literally cannot provide any.
To quote the “article”:
While it’s doubtful you’ll see ads in KDE’s core applications, it would be possible for distributions that wish to further monetize their work to fork these applications, placing ads in them.
Neowin is the web site where their writers can stupidly claim that Qt getting an advertisement module means that KDE will have ads in their apps soon.
Stop linking to them.
It comes from Terry A. Davis’s description of CIA, FBI and the like: “They glow in the dark”
They should have named it Wayland…
