I didn’t hear that, but I’m not surprised it’s also about control. When you offer a paid API you’re capping potential revenues for those users at essentially a flat rate.

I suspect that their revenue generation plans likely would see more than 10M/yr return so they threw out some big number to kill everything, force a portion of those users to their own services where they’re planning on ramping up monetization

Pm’d

I'd like to think most of the app users are power users who actually drive a lot of value and forcing them to leave will tank your business, but who knows, time will tell.

Good to know! Thanks for the info, it sounds like they’re not for me

How do you like the bone conduction? I've never actually tried a pair.

I will or typically podcasts, I ride with an airpod in my right ear only (pedestrian side) so I still have awareness around me.

Exactly. Even a server to just go down one day. Theoretically it has a snapshot in time

I feel like we’re seeing a lot of money leave tech. These companies are no longer getting cash injections and running into the red. The number one game for them now is revenue generation and that is through user fees and advertising. That’s why we’re seeing this shit now.

A lot of these platforms (Twitter/Reddit) started off simple and never took into account advertising. That means third party apps never got the ad feed in the general timeline.

Seeing their infinite funds dry up, these companies are now looking for where they can generate extra revenue, or where they are not generating revenue and making cuts.

These APIs cost them money. So now they’re making the gamble. Will their users tolerate losing their favourite apps to a privacy invading and ad serving machine just to access their feeds?

I really loved it and it reminded me a lot of BF3 and it’s a lot of fun, but it definitely needs improvement.

As one review I read pointed out, the game is very split brained. It plays like an arcade shooter but then has weird things that should be in a military sim like tactical reloads, leaning, and zeroing (which is unmapped by default). Healing is another weird thing where only medics can heal you while you can only bandage bleeds.

My other major gripe is that the game is incredibly difficult to actually see anyone, the ground cover and soldier camo works too well. You get zeroed by someone you didn’t see or just ambushed out of nowhere.

I want to recommend it to my friends who all love the older BF games but at this point the game is not polished and needs some work. Depending on the direction the devs take I don’t know if it will be.

Seems like you might want to setup Sonarr and Prowlarr, and a torrent client. It will do all of this automatically for you and upgrade your content overtime.

Never heard of arkenfox? Is it just a privacy tuned Firefox install?

I just hope they made a lot of engine changes to because it chugs in late game
