Everyone I know uses discord, and any attempt to try matrix with friends has more friction than discord. We often make use of streaming gameplay to each other, and I don't know if that functionality works in matrix because we never get that far.

I guess it depends on how feasible it is to create a crawler and search engine. If you had bots crawl discord servers, continuously index everything, and then create a search engine for it, you'd probably be breaking their TOS and they'd C&D you. But I don't think there'd be anything preventing someone from doing that on matrix. Matrix is just as decentralized as the web.
It's PR. Anti-capitalist sentiments score well in focus groups.
I consider it the Linux version of "How can you tell someone is vegan? They'll tell you."
(I use arch, btw)
I do think it qualifies as actual Unix, though.
I stopped buying games from them when I went in the store and there weren't any games. It's just a bunch of FunkoPop garbage.
I have to think part of this is just all the ancient representatives we have. They've lived long enough to know what gambling looks like, and what good ol' sports ball looks like, and by golly nobody can tell 'em any different!
This is like having a random dude living in your walls, peeping at you through your vents. And when you call the police they say, "no need to worry, we have confirmed that there is indeed a random dude living in your walls".
Why are you asking some rando in a gaming forum? You don't need to be a security expert to know that you don't want any random app having kernel level access to your devices just to play a game. It doesn't take a security expert to know that. The purpose of pointing it out isn't that we know what the best solution is, it's to tell studios that this solution isn't the holy grail they act like it is.
Bethesda surely understand how much they have benefited from modding over the years.
I mean yeah, remember when they wanted to start charging people for them?
Looks like they just reintroduced it in Dec.
Same people as email.
As long as the policy changes lead to even more profits, then sure.
