I ask again: Where did you get that idea from? Any source other than “trust me bro” statement? Valve did not, unless you can proof your extraordinary claim with an extraordinary source.

I’m not a moderator. I meant I would be a terrible moderator, if I were one.

I guess I would be a terrible Moderator, lol. Thanks for taking the time to explain your view.

Hmm. So the assumption is then this is a troll post? Maybe the person doesn’t know and is new to this, got a free old laptop in example. You might be right that the system is underspecced for most normal usage and deeper knowledge to work with it might be required. But I don’t get why the person is downvoted for asking the question. Unless its a troll off course, if that is the assumption.

While I agree with you this should be illegal, on the other side they have my sympathy. Also I think cheating in online games ruining others fun and the company should be illegal too. I mean why is that not illegal still is beyond me. It’s not even illegal for companies developing and selling this shit. But to comeback to your point about the illegality to brick hardware through a videogame, I agree with you.

I like my popcorn with sugar instead salt.

This is the end. Everyone switch to FreeBSD.

Worked around a Qt regression that made job progress notifications remain visible on screen until explicitly dismissed. (Kai Uwe Broulik, KDE Bugzilla #520120)

This is super annoying right now. I thought it might be an issue with my system, as I have some custom stuff that could have interfered with such behavior. Hope I get the update as soon as possible.

Why do people downvote this question?

First, this is not what you said earlier, its a different statement. Also… where do you get that Valve pays publishers to use Steam as DRM? And therefore forces them a kind of exclusivity deal? No, Valve does not do that.

Steam / Valve doesn’t do exclusivity deals.

Steam didn’t do exclusivity deals.

Also the peak record 3 days ago and today are reached at the same time on the clock, which is Germany local time 16:00, and a few hours around it in Europe in general. That is 10 AM in the US I think (we live 6 hours in the future). That means the numbers might even go up further at later day; just checking again https://store.steampowered.com/charts/ … oh yes, it is! Even my new Edit is outdated, lol. Can’t keep up.

The power of open platform

Understandable. Have a nice day.

Celebration of things people care brings people together, which in turn brings topics to talk about; be it smalltalk or sometimes revealing interesting details. I’m doing this or responding to others posting this since years, even before Lemmy, on Reddit. It’s a fun topic and I was just surprised no one brought this time this specific peak number into a discussion yet. That’s all.

No one is angry, no one is mad, just having fun talk and discussion. Everything is fine. This is a fun topic and sometimes not everything needs to make sense for every one else. I give you the benefit of confusion or not able to communicate well and not bad intention. My hope was that we get to some peaceful end, but it didn’t work out. Have a nice day.

Monday is national holiday in Germany too. Together with the weekend, I am curious if we see new peaks. About the Paralives game, to be honest I didn’t heard of it before. Maybe because that’s not the kind of game I’m looking into and therefore didn’t appear on my radar. It has 179,445 followers according to Steamdb (a third party site tracking Steam data). I think it would have been better if the game came out right at the start of the weekend. We’ll see how it performs. Looks quite nice.

You’re pretty angry about someone providing an opinion and reasoning dude.

Just because I disagree with you does not make me angry. Or are you angry because I do not agree and assume others are the same? No need for personal attacks. I don’t know why you think I’m angry. The entire time you tried to tell me how useless it is to talk about this, and if I go to school or work and tell everyone about the population every day. Which is clearly a misrepresentation of what my post is, because 1. its not every day, 2. its a highscore peak of a subject we care

You do not provide any alternative or useful perspective. You just say its not worth talking about this, because you do not care. Which in fact means I should stop talking. And yet, you still talk about it. Looks like this post was more useful than you initially admit it.

You mean exactly why this hasn’t been brought up until now by you?

You just took my quote out of context. I said I do not care bout the school or day population you said earlier. Here the full quote in context:

Do you go into work or school every day and pronounce that population of the world went up again?

No, because I do not care about that.

What do you mean by:

You seemed surprised people weren’t talking about, you have your answer now. You answered it yourself.

??? What did I answer? I’m surprised no one brought this new peak of concurrent users up. Usually people are quick to bring it up. That happened in the past often.

People just don’t care, for reasons stated above, you’re free to do what you want.

You don’t care. I do. Some people care, some don’t. If you don’t care, why do you even reply and discuss here? If you don’t care, just move on. I like talking about new high peak numbers. Block me.
