Developer Unknown Worlds has shared a letter asking for patience from Subnautica fans after publisher Krafton announced the departure of its senior leadership⁠—including studio co-founder Max McGuire⁠—and the installation of Dead Space producer and Striking Distance (The Callisto Protocol) CEO, Steve Papoutsis, as the new studio head.

Unfortunately there are still bills to pay even if you don’t visit the site for months. Keeping the lights on is not free. So that is a very unlikely subscription model you’re describing.

I would wager they many of the same people arguing for a boycott went on to purchase it anyway. Opinions are free, as long as it doesn’t affect your life in any way.

That is your opinion. I sometimes prefer a video over a long text. Everyone has their own preference.

Like they are going to give a rats ass what you say. They will use it anyway.

Which works for some content, but a lot of childrens content is only available through subscriptions to Netflix/Disney+/Max.

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Truth hurts I guess? I have worked in IT for more than 25 years, installed Slackware from floppies in the 90s and have tried Linux countless times since. Every. Single. Time I end up wasting my time trying to fix hardware drivers or being forced to accept the programs I want to use don’t work on Linux and the alternative programs are just plain worse.

Oh and I have used Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat, Fedora, Mint, Slackware, Pop! Os, Alpine, Gentoo.

Phoenix Project and Unicorn Project are about non technical skills. Very entertaining books as well.

Except book #2 I fully agree, these are great books to read for someone who wants to grow their non technical skills.

It’s fine to refuse to help, but offering your unsolicited opinion on windows instead of helping is just rude.

Having worked in this industry for going on 25 years, I long ago learned that there are way too many incompetent programmers in the world working critical jobs. It’s best not to think about it.

I know you think you’re being clever. But what you really are is arrogant. Telling someone the answer to their problem is to do as you do, instead of helping them with their issue.

That’s great but all it takes is some of your blood relatives to submit their genetic data and they can calculate your genetics to a degree that is accurate enough.

Good for them! I’ve always wondered when working Americans would decide unions are a good thing.

Thank you. I was about to say the same. Subscribe to office 365 and get the business version of Teams. Even if privacy is a requirement, what’s wrong with teams?
