Not a good comparison. With Steam, you download the games to your computer. If Valve ever went out of business, they could unDRM the games, or you could crack them.
Either way, you download the games onto your computer. That’s not the case with Funimation.
Buying a digital copy of something you cannot download is an oxymoron. It only makes sense if you subscribe to a service.
1984 :"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
Run them in Bottle, then disable internet access for the games.

My take, be pragmatic. I still go to my city and career subreddit because that’s where I get my city news and career advice. And I’m in Lemmy because it really does feel like the Reddit of 2008-2014 and I love it here.
Read my post about how reddit went from just 85,000 users in 2008 to 500 million active users in 2023: https://old.lemmy.ca/post/2780188. Reddit didn’t grow overnight. It took 15 years to grow to where it is now.

Yes, but where there’s a will, there’s a way. Analysts say these sanctions will backfire because now China has no choice but to become more advanced in chip production.
The apps page now has sections for Android, iOS, and web apps, as well as libraries. Feel free to do a pull request to add any apps that are missing.
It would be great if the apps page was also filterable (Android, iOS, etc). Because I was initially confused when I saw the page, seeing the Android apps and not realizing the iOS section was further down. And new apps are being developed all the time, so the page will be overwhelming.
This question should be posted on r/askreddit…
Lemmy instances are run by VOLUNTEERS! Lemmy.world is not a COMPANY. A company can have an army of lawyers. An instance run by VOLUNTEERS cannot.
I’ve been an iPhone user since 2017, so I’ve been out of the loop. Are battery issues due to misbehaving apps (like flashlight spyware apps) still a thing on Android?
The whole thing seems rushed because the CEO of Unity, John Riccitiello, was the leading advocate of microtransactions when he was at EA, and now he is instilling the same culture at Unity.
How will they differentiate between pirated copies and legitimate copies? How will they distinguish first-time installs from repeat installs? Can we trust their algorithm? It just doesn’t seem possible.
I hope that since Bathesda is now a Microsoft studio, Microsoft is going to be persistent with bug fixes. But maybe it’s a tall order.
Being a patient gamer is best. We need to give it at least 6 months for Bathesda to optimize the game and fix the major bugs.
Interesting. I might try that
I also enjoyed Andromeda but I just can’t get myself to replay it. I replayed the Trilogy multiple times but I just couldn’t replay Andromeda, it felt like a chore.
Sound advice. During my first year of computer science, one of my professors told me that programming languages are just a tool to solve a problem. The logic to solve it is the key. Whether it’s Java, Python, Go, etc. If you don’t know how to tell the computer what to do, you can’t program anything in any language.
