Quoting: emphyHuge fan of heroic.

Absolutely hated that it contains a store page, though. I vehemently dislike that one often has to install a shop on one's system just to be able to install a game one has already paid for.

You can install games you own in your library in Heroic, no need to go to the store page for that.

You can remove the store button to the left, of course, but... does that really make a difference compared to just not clicking on it?

I REALLY like that manager.
I do use GOG and EGS only occasionally, but want all my games on Steam - and Heroic has that nifty button that adds a game to your Steam library.

Humble knows their memes.

Or they don't and this is even funnier than they planned.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWhat incentive is that? Because, you know, normally you only get paid by customers for a game when you release it. I assume there's some sort of story here?

I would summarize the situation like this:
They are being bankrolled by rich fools fans first in a Kickstarter-like manner and by now also absurdly expensive in-game items (in Star Citizen).

Quoting: Liam DaweI'm genuinely surprised and disappointed anyone could find what they did in any way entertaining.

I generally find people having absurd meltdown-style rants funny, independent of the exact nature or direction of their ranting.
Sue me. Or don't. I don't care in the slightest what you personally think of me. I'm not here to seek your approval, admin or not.

Quoting: Linux_RocksIt's not even remotely someone trying to be comedic. So there's nothing funny about it.

1. Wrong. It is actively trying to be funny, hence all the rather edgelordy "jokes".
2. You don't have to actively try to be funny in order to have the result be funny to other people.
3. You don't get to decide what is or isn't funny to other people about... anything, really.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPHilariously edgelordy, but not really something you want in official products.

I looked over all of it, and it was not some silly edgelord stuff. It was just downright disgusting.

Well, let's just say not all of us are easily disgusted and have a bit thicker skin.
Honestly, I was quite entertained by the sheer insanity of it.

It reminded me of that Domina developer meltdown in the patch notes, except in Ukrainian (or at least Google thinks so).

At first I assumed they were playing the typical 'milquetoast opinion is "hatespeech"' game, as corporations afraid of X-Storms tend to do.

But I had a look at what was there and... uhh... yeah, even I would have removed that
A mix of slavic memes (I assume) and relentless insult rants.
Hilariously edgelordy, but not really something you want in official products.

It's not super surprising.

Microsoft is not making most of their money with Windows anymore.
It is making most of their money with their cloud services, which are mostly Linux-based.

Still good to see, of course.
But this is not about openness or anything, it's just about investing into what is good for you (in the business sense).

You could basically let AI write the entire play at this point.

From soulless corporate leaving blabla to soulless corporate replacement blabla and generic corporate statement as glue between those events.
Nobody would notice if any of those things were or were not written by a human being, as everything is just meaningless platitudes anyway.
