Yeah this is one of the reasons I’ve been slowly moving my gaming time over to Steam as they very rarely do stuff like this and if they delist the game, if you’ve already purchased the game you can still play it 99.99% of time. Sad to see Playstation go down this route.
I’m guessing this is because of more sales of the Steam Deck, haven’t got myself one yet but I’d love to as everyone that has gotten ones has said it’s worth the money as well as is a great way to get through your games on the go.
And this alternative will not be able to go away easily as Decentralisation allows anyone to run an instance.
It’s where I really hope more of the Reddit community will jump ship to Fediverse instances as there seems to be less and less of a future for reddit in my eyes.
I’ll keep that in mind and check it out. Hopefully the developers can create something for PC / Web as it would be great to keep on listening on my PC when working.
I’ve been listening to Podcasts lately and went straight to Google Podcasts, Love the Platform sad to see it go. Will be looking for another platform that can allow me to listen both on PC as well as Phone, This is sadly not it as doesn’t seem to have a Desktop app / site
I would hope that donations to the author or something could be a way to fix that at least a little.
It’s always good to see alternatives but decentralized ones seems to be the most likely to become a new norm for people and I’m all here for it.
Even if it was like 16GB on a PC still not worth $1.6k
Yeah I think the only way ‘creators’ will be there is if there is something to move across these larger ones, or at least makes sense to cross-post between YouTube and PeerTube. It’s going to be a hard battle to fight especially with PeerTube limited Space on most instances.
I’ve just signed up for access to MakerTube but yeah I agree, most Instances won’t be able to host 5+ years of content from users making rather the user or the instance to rather have to delete the content or the user to create a ‘second’ channel to upload more. Hopefully with time, storage get’s better and easier but quality of video files (and there for size) will most likely grow so it’s really a cat and mouse game.
I think they are Federated, it’s just hard to find users as one of the people on your instance needs to know what the creator is called before you can expand into, finding there content, this TBH kills the PeerTube experience as you need to use other instances or sources to find the creators you want to watch instead of just working like YouTube does.
A lot of people have jobs doing creative work like YouTube, even before the age of YouTube people where creating stuff such as TV Shows, Radio and Movies (Legacy Media). Sure a lot of people would still create something in free time but the reason people create quality content on places like YouTube is because they are being paid as a bonus, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to spend as much time on the content they create.
The amount of money that is being thrown into hosting alone would not last, sure more do-able with the Fediverse but still not likely to happen.
@spaduf@slrpnk.net That’s really nice, I actually use Obsidian myself for note taking and I can say that I will never go back to normal note taking software. The internet and software needs to change to be for the user, for if the software doesn’t exist in the future. We never know if a service will go but we shouldn’t loose everything.
God no, they want to breed
Sadly purchasing a phyical copy still will mean you can’t play it due to the required download for most consoles these days.
