If only https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc. was expanded to streaming services instead of repealed.

I suspect the difficulty the publishers face is that fun is difficult to quantify. The read on this might end up being "All things being equal, DRM/MTX/etc aren't statistically impediments to financial success if the game is going to sell well anyway. If we percieve them to improve our bottom line, let's include them".
Take a read through https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc.
Real shame this was terminated rather than extended to streaming platforms.
Getting the code running, easy. Getting the pull requests moved forward, a lot more frustrating than expected.
https://lemmy.ca/post/6420647 summarizes my feelings on the latter.
I got a bunch of commits in around searching and similarity. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Abradbeattie+is%3Amerged, https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Abradbeattie+is%3Amerged.
I tried summarizing the history of the whole thing with relevant links in https://iscanadafair.ca/2015/. What surprised me while getting all the context together was that basically the exact same thing happened in 1909: https://iscanadafair.ca/1909-1923/.
A little more subtle than that. The ERRE came back with a report (https://www.ourcommons.ca/Content/Committee/421/ERRE/Reports/RP8655791/errerp03/errerp03-e.pdf) whose #1 recommendation was adopting any system that's roughly proportional (e.g. MMP, STV, etc).
The Committee recommends that the Government should, as it develops a new electoral system, use the Gallagher index in order to minimize the level of distortion between the popular will of the electorate and the resultant seat allocations in Parliament. The government should seek to design a system that achieves a Gallagher score of 5 or less.
But instead of moving forward with a proportional system (which would impact the number of seats the liberals win by way of voters voting strategically for the Liberals), they instead released My democracy.ca. A push poll if there ever was one.
https://serratus.github.io/quaggaJS/ and whatnot exist. Any reason why such an approach couldn't be taken?
I have a Switch but have bought maybe 3 games for it tops. Where Steam has user reviews, a super simple refund policy, and frequent deep discounts, Nintendo's purchasing experience is clearly lacking in a customer-friendly approach.
Anyone asking for recommendations for their next gaming device, it's Steam Deck every time.
Alternatively, the ability to select a subscribed community and add it to one of my multi communities.
Likewise. Debian, installed Steam, updated my graphics driver, and everything runs smoothly. I'm surprised how well Linux gaming has come along!
