I’d like to see this effort include the responsible sunsetting of games.
If publishers no longer wish to host the game, and noinfer wish to collect money for it, they should relinquish the server code and let communities prop up games when the games services are decommissioned.
Jokes on them, they’re willingly paying the tax already, it’s just being misattributed towards suppression instead of public good.
I think what Cape is doing is innovative wrt esims.
But I’d still lose out in flip phones atm. I’d be totally fine beaming my esim over to the flip phone in a p2p manner and beaming it back when I am done. Its just a matter of, hopefully, someone making such a flip phone.
I’m resisting esims for as long as possible.
Nanosims provide this key feature where I can put my sim in a cheap 20$ flip phone when I go snowboarding or kayaking and don’t want to risk breaking my smart phone.
This also is a convenient way to get Google, and tech, and social media noise away from me for a short time.
I also noticed there is a complete lack of esim capable dumb phones. This has me starting to question the motivation behind esim.
Crazy to reach for this game over RedOut 2. No other game gives me a sense of speed like Redout.
In my mind part of if being free is being paid enough to afford travel. It also includes being able to seek out a better job.
It doesn’t seem like either would be true in this arrangement.
If the pay was scaled to today’s costs, and the housing guaranteed between jobs, then it would sound much more appealing.
The Finals is my favorite game and I’d hope they spruce up private matches and leave it with a server to run.
I’d be very happy with that outcome. But do hope the game lives on for many more seasons.
