Dude can charge whatever he wants, and you can choose to buy it or not. Super weird and annoying responses here.

EGS losing money has been great for gamers, as they continue to give away free games in an attempt to claw any marketshare. Gamers continue to win as long as this situation lasts. But reading these comments, nobody seems to recognize this.

I love that he was still pursuing breakthroughs even into his twilight years. Wonder what will become of his latest work, which apparently held great promise. RIP

It's fine and good. Normalize federation

Yeah, it's a lot of value destroyed and many communities and individuals will never make the switch. It's a sad thing, even if there is new opportunity as we see with Lemmy.

In your scenario, Lemmy was worse than Kbin and didn't suit users needs as well, and didn't evolve the protocol fast enough to keep up. Kbin deserved to win in that case.

Again, another thread where two billion people joining our network and meeting us where we are ... is somehow bad. If embrace extend extinguish is really the worry, then we have a bad protocol that needs extension to be usable by those 2B people, and we should fix that.
