Can you help me understand the value prop of what you're offering? The positioning makes me think this is a just shadcn component product + Next on Vercel, neither of which require paying for an additional platform

Congrats on the launch! A couple small things: When you toggle between light and dark mode the hero section on the homepage ends up selected. Also the padding on the home icon at the top is a little funky. It looks out of line with the rest

Does anyone have a good write-up on the history behind Linux gaming? Would love to learn more

Looks super interesting - would love if the homepage had some kind of demo/screenshot built in. I'd rather not have to click any buttons to see what I'm getting myself into here

This is just an incredibly misguided take, particularly from someone who seems to be deep in the games industry. The developers already legally hold all of the power in these situations - they can literally pick and choose when they want to

This is a great point - but you have to remember the money is what dictates games that go "mainstream". Companies like Activision, Blizzard, and EA are going to push out something that has low-risk, high reward (Call of Duty, Assa

What's your take on the potential long-term success of Game Pass?
22.
by MaximumMadness 6y ago
To expect a company to produce the quality/type of games that they made 20+ years ago is a bit unfair, don't you think? I'd venture to guess that the folks behind those games left the studio along time ago anyway.

I'd disagree here. Would recommend checking out this piece [1] on Nintendo's failure to expand as an IP brand. https://www.matthewball.vc/all/onnintendo

I still have some trouble around the idea that hardcore consumers will want a bundle that has maybe 2-5 games they would have bought otherwise + 95 more they dont really care about. Aren't consumers just going to buy what they want any

From a strategy perspective this is an absolutely massive win for Xbox. Their entire strategy [1] for the next generation of consoles is breadth vs depth, essentially saying they cant beat Sony in exclusives so they'll offer way more v

It certainly has the makings of a good idea. There are lots of questions around compensation equality (i.e. the big companies get richer, the poor get charged more) but something besides the blanket 30% rule based on some metric sounds feas
