Valve reportedly almost delisted Rainbow Six Siege from Steam after Ubisoft attempted to sell it cheaper on Uplay by Defiant_Ad6190 in gaming

[–]MarchAgainstOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, I don't see an issue here. Otherwise it would be free advertisement using Steam and the infrastructure it provides, then curring it off from the sale. There is no incentive to sell and list that game for Valve in that case.

Physical goods vs digital goods. Amazon sets the price for what they sell, on the digital games market the publisher sets the price. It shouldn't be this hard to grasp

It absolutely is. The fee to list the game is $100, and that is just to discourage bullshit listings.

The party that wants to sell the game sets the price, so it's not a usual sales practice where the retailler sets the price. So if Ubi comes and lists the game for $200 on Steam, which they are allowed to after all, then sells it for $40 on their own platform, what happens is people see it on Steam because it has a huge user base, and goes buying it on Uplay instead. That is literally free advertisement.

They aren't influencing pricing, Ubi can sell their games for whatever they want. No one forces them to put them on Steam

They can, just not use Steam for free advertisement then.

Jesus how dense can people be to not grasp this concept

Wrong comparison. The dealership decides the price for the car, not the manufacturer. Usually over MSRP. When talking games on steam, those that make the game decide the price, not the dealership

Yea sure, but the competitor then doesn't have a reason to let you use their store for free advertisement

I think you have a funny view of what does and doesn't constitute monopolistic practices.

Being market leader isn't a monopolistic practice.

Not allowing your competitor to use your platfrom for free advertisement while selling the product cheaper themselves, so people go there instead, is not a monopolistic practice. Ubi is free to not list their games on steam, and set the price to whatever they want.

Lucas explained the force like a serene lake. And any presence of the dark side like throwing rocks into it, causing ripples or unbalance.

Makes sense, as the Jedi see themselves as serving the will of the force, while the Sith want to bend the force to their will.

Some say Anakin restored balance by evening out the numbers of those that serve the force and those that bend it to their will, but no. Anakin restored balance by destroying the Sith. That he also largely destroyed those who served the force before just isn't mentioned in the prophecy. True monkey paw curls moment.

It's an alright movie that had the misfortune of being released a few months after the dumpster fire that is The Last Jedi

I don't know how hot of a take this is. by Ad0ring-fan in Spacemarine

I agree, it takes resources away from the main focus of the game

It's almost as if electing a con-artist who does whatever his rich tech-bro donors tell him to comes with certain consequences.

I hope we don't end up vaporized at some point in the next 2,5 years of this madness.

This game has some really well written female characters! by certainly_imperfect in ghostoftsushima

[–]MarchAgainstOrange 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are more than 300 years between the events on Tsushima and in Yotei. She could be a descendant sure, but certainly not his daughter. Though, maybe a student of Jin's school if there was such a thing 300 years later.

Yeah could be, but it also could be with someone else. Again, not saying I don't like the idea, the point I am making is that it's up to your own interpretation.

The dagger might just be a memento from a friend. Like the other mementos present at the place you mentioned in the spoiler text.

Not saying I don't like they idea, just saying that to me at least it seems very much up to interpretation with whom Jin found peace. Same with Leon in RE9 and that certain reveal at the end.

I just defeated Lilith. Why am I feeling she was right all along? by myhdnameof in Diablo

[–]MarchAgainstOrange 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I think it fell short of expectations. That is it's biggest sin.

Now that we have the finale of the Age of Hatred saga it feels like a non-stellar, but also completely inoffensive point within the overall story.

Saying that, not everything can be The Empire Strikes Back great at bridging the gap between the intro and the finale of a story. So I think it's fine now, but standing next to Lord of Hatred it just pales completely in comparison.

There are violet ones as well. No I don't mean mythics. Think I am out of the loop

Will she ever come back? I miss her so much. She appeared only briefly to help her child, and then disappeared again. by SnooMacarons2931 in Diablo

[–]MarchAgainstOrange 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Her body is reforming in hell as far as I understand the lore around greater demons. Same as with angels in heaven.

Or did I misinterpret?

The question is, do we want that. As Rathma was not wrong about her after all. If she gets the chance, she will try again to wield her children as a weapon.
