  • Currently most monitors use 16bits for colour (65,536 different possible colours).

    The human eye can see about 10,000,000.

    HDR / True colour is 24bits, 16,777,216 colour variations, which is more than what humans can see.

    You should care because it means images on your device will look true to life, especially as screens get brighter materials like gold will look much nicer.

  • I was agreeing with them, I posted the conclusion to show people they've not commited war crimes, just "serious human rights violations". Sorry if my intentions didn't come through in my comment.

  • What's your reason for not buying refurbished hardware? I personally always buy used / refurbished, so I'm interested in why you wouldn't.

  • Healthcare solved rule

    Jump

  • TBH it was hard for me to wrap my head around Europe's healthcare, I've was always told that it was similar to where I'm from (Scotland) but I would read about insurance and employer healthcare and be really confused, since up here everything (prescriptions, glasses, teeth) is free and there's no insurance.

    There's been stories of tourists asking where to pay / show their insurance card and the receptionist at the hospital would shrug and say that they don't know what to do.

  • Imma break down their points and provide my own counter-arguments:

    Client-Server model games can't be client only because people could cheat

    The publisher can provide the executable for the server portion of the client-server game at no cost to them.

    The Crew was online only and had been running for 10 years, for it to continue running would cost Ubisoft more money and squeals provide the same experience with continued support

    The publisher can provide the executable for the server portion of the client-server game at no cost to them.

    Excessive red-tape / Government overreach

    I like my government regulating massive corporations who exist in one of the largest industries, the move fast and break things mentality is detrimental to our society.

    You bought a licence to the game not the game itself

    That's fucked up and shouldn't happen. Why you 'buy' something, be it a game, movie, software, car, house. You should have the freedom to do whatever you want with it.

    The initiative would damage live service games which provide value outside of just the game (online friendships).

    Live service games can still do this under the initiative. Publishers might make less live service games but that's their problem, not the consumers.

    In the comments he adds counter-arguments to why publishers shouldn't provide the server executable. Focusing on how monetisation would work:

    If we don't allow monetization - Who would be the party that enforces non-monetization of that server? If it's the government I feel like we're making an insane amount of red tape. If it's the original company then this doesn't work if they shut down.

    If the company shuts down then it's no longer an issue because no-one is losing money from the game servers now being monetised.

    If we don't allow monetization - Who is going to pay for the hosting if the servers cannot be monetized? If they cannot be monetized then these servers will also eventually shut down due to cost. We don't up preserving games like this we just shift their death down the road.

    The community, there are entire operating systems that are provided by volunteers for free with no advertisements. Providing the server executable does not shift their death down the road as anyone can run it going forward.

    If we do allow monetization - This leads to a really weird attack potential if people can monetize the servers. You make an awesome game that has a small community. I want to monetize that game and run my own servers. I create a shitload of bots and constant exploits to erode the game and your business. Your business closes and you now have to give out server binaries to keep the game in a playable state. I can now profit off your work via private servers. This isn't unlikely as we've seen mass attacks such as with TF2 We actually see echoes of this in the mobile market already as well. The only defense right now is DMCA or other takedown measures. Devs legitimately have very little protections as-is and this would erode that further. This creates an incentive for abuse where the abuser is protected as they are within their legal right to operate said "abandoned" games servers.

    An odd straw-man, as for a small studio to develop a free to play, live service game to then have their game targeted by nefarious actors using a denial of service attack will only happed if the game is popular / good, in which case the developers should be making enough money to invest in protections against said actors, e.g. the IPs can be tracked and forwarded to the relevant authorities as orchestrating a denial of service attack is a crime.

    That scenario isn't anything like the TF2 situation, whose bots are ran by frustrated community members in an effort to have Valve continue updating TF2. Private servers can also be ran for TF2 as I write this, and the game is still being ran by Valve.

    The only defence isn't takedown measures, since the developer is running the game, as Thor said in the video, the developer can ban the bots.
