Two Joy-Con drift lawsuits have been dismissed after five years
  • Nintendo issued an apology in 2020 over the issue, but argued that players who purchased the items were bound by the user agreement of the Nintendo Switch and thus ineligible to participate in a class action lawsuit against the company.

    I'm not a lawyer, but this seems suspicious. How would this work? If I purchase a product in a retail store, where exactly would I sign something agreeing to give up my eligibility to participate in a class action suit? Are they trying to argue that linking the hardware to your account carries over the restriction to any hardware used?

  • That's not a money reason or a store related reason. That's really on the developer. Mac is a different architecture. Often times Mac versions require extra development.

    Linux is gaining more ground not because of a store or the developers themselves, but because Proton makes the windows versions of games run on Linux.

    My argument was about exclusivity deals, not technical compatibility.

  • Yes, I do realize the money goes to the same place. My argument is not that Epic should go bankrupt. My argument is that I don't want to encourage or support the Epic Store.

    "vote with your wallet" - my vote says I approve of unreal but disapprove of epic store.

  • Okay?

    2 wrongs don't make a right. That said, Microsoft does this much less frequently than Epic and mostly just with first party games.

    Here's a list of Microsoft Store exclusives. I don't see a whole lot of triple A games on there.

    Starfield was on Steam at launch, as was Halo Infinite. Microsoft has been moving away from exclusivity. But how dare they keep Solitaire all to themselves, right?

  • Where are some good Canadian cities to live in?
  • One other thing to add: permanent residency is issued at the province level.

    If you're planning to move here permanently and don't speak French, don't move anywhere in Quebec. It's the only province that requires French language competency for permanent residency. In other provinces, you can acquire PR with just English.

  • Shutdown risk looms as US Congress faces spending, impeachment brawl
  • In Canada and the UK, if the government fails to pass a budget, it triggers an automatic vote of no confidence, parliament is dissolved, and it triggers a general election.

    US politicians do not suffer any consequences for failing to do their job.
