He doesn't actually do the calculation required to give an estimate of what that number is.

Going on the stats in the article:

  • assuming that Wukong has just surpassed the revenue of Steam Deck in the chart so we can treat their revenues as equal
  • assuming Wukong price is $49.99 and average Steam Deck price is $500
  • using the stat that 14m copies of Wukong sold on Steam so far

that would imply ~1.4m Steam Decks sold

The article does go on to say:

Keep in mind that by November last year, Valve said the Steam Deck had already sold "multiple millions".

So really this (very rough estimate) is telling us nothing that we didn't know already. The top seller charts are showing exactly what we would have expected to see.

Since nobody has mentioned it yet, the other game that ruined his reputation for me is Godus. He funded it with a kickstarter with the promise it would be a successor to the God-Sim genre like Populous. It turned out to have all of the dark patterns of mobile games (time-gating with micro-transactions), but in a PC game.

Are you using the Import/Export Settings buttons in the settings page?

If you can reproducibly crash an instance then you should definitely file this as an urgent security issue in the lemmy repo so it can be fixed: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues

Is it really a virtual machine? It's running from a container, so it's just a containerized desktop exposed over VNC, right?

Is it actually running its own kernel?

I think for now Forgejo is a drop-in replacement. However since they are a hard-fork, at some point in the future they will diverge enough to be mutually incompatible, so the clock is ticking on migrating.

Why would there be any reason to bring feminism or Covid into that in the first place?

From another article:

The cautionary note against "feminist propaganda" is a reminder that Game Science have yet to respond to allegations of pervasive sexist behaviour from November last year. In a lengthy report for IGN, Rebekah Valentine and Khee Hoon Chan described "a studio plagued by claims of sexism", linking this to misogyny elsewhere in the Chinese games industry and on the government-firewalled Chinese internet. The developers have raised the drawbridge in response: when Edders attended a preview event earlier this year, they refused to say anything on the subject in advance.

This is huge news. Great work to the contributors involved in making this happen.
