  • Asking to be paid for your job is OK, but injecting ads in ad-free opensource service, selling user data? This is just reddit-app-moment in my opinion

    Tell me you’ve never paid for a service, without telling me you’ve never paid for a service

    Sync does not sell user data. It uses only the basic prerequisites for an ad service Settings shortcut: Privacy > Privacy policy

    If an independent developer, who has worked on an app for 10 years, and has had their work ruined by a greedy company, turns around and makes an app for an entirely new community, within a month of losing his main source of revenue, and it’s as polished, smooth, and user-friendly as can be, doesn’t deserve to put food on the table, then quite simply, you’re incredibly misinformed.










  • Valve (as a developer) has always been about pushing boundaries, not making money.

    Half-Life showed you can tell a story and create a world without cutscenes

    Half-Life 2 showed the power of using physics in a game engine as a gameplay mechanic

    Portal showed the versatility and accessibility of puzzle games as a mainstream genre

    Team-Fortess 2 showed the openess of a casual, class-based shooter

    CS:GO showed the interest in a competitive shooter

    HL:Alyx pushed VR to its edges in showing an interesting world and gameplay without feeling like a tech-demo
