    It’s a great example. Starfield (like other BGS games) does a lot of things well that few other games do at all. So it’s frustrating when they put out a game that is pretty mediocre outside those few strengths, and also your only real option for scratching those particular itches.








  • the play store, like other download stores, provides discoverability, trust, and all the infrastructure to distribute and automatically update your software products.

    this is not a worthless service, otherwise publishers wouldn’t have flocked to Steam on Windows in the late ‘00s/early ‘10s. only the very biggest ones like EA and Ubisoft felt like they could make more money by rolling their own.

    this doesn’t justify using anticompetitive practices to maintain your market position, but there is real value being provided there.
