Elden Ring

Marketing dollars! Only reason they did this is so they can say “hey look! We still have 3rd party apps!”

Why do you care? Is kbin.social not a free speech platform? If not, I’ll find somewhere else to go.

I don’t even agree with these folks, but if people are going to start raising a big stink because people are saying things they don’t like, I’m out.

Is this their second comeback?

What really sucks is that it eliminates any sort of trade-in systems. I rarely have the desire to play a game I’ve already finished, at least I would be able to recoup some of that money towards a new game. There goes that along with lending games to friends

Okay, but what does Ja Rule think?

Remember when Reddit had the breaking stories LONG before everyone else?

I STILL want one of these so bad. Wish they weren’t so expensive as I just cannot justify spending so much on such an outdated piece of tech :(

Love it! Thank you

Wow! I completely forgot that this existed!

What sane person would possibly invest in a company like this?

Ignoring how inept they’ve been throughout this whole ordeal, they don’t even have control over their own site! It’s pathetic

I agree. I think Reddit is delusional if they think they will be able to successfully monetize what are essentially just forums. Reddit users themselves don’t give a hoot about Reddit as a brand, company, or product. They care about communities and being able to have discussions on their favorite subjects. There’s no secret sauce proprietary to Reddit at all and people will go where ever everyone else is

I haven’t seen a single comment that began with “Imagine…” yet. The lack of immature and pointless sarcasm is a breath of fresh air

Finally?

It is baffling to me the timeline they chose for this. If I were an investor I would see this as complete desperation. What stable company makes these decisions seemingly on a whim?

I completely agree.

Jesus Christ you people are insane.

The site has been basically the same and unimproved for a decade. What do the Reddit employees even do? When was the last time they actually improved the site?

as long as there are suckers out there, crypto will live.

With the popularity of Reddit and how simple (in theory) of a concept it is, it blows my mind that there is not an alternative. Kbin and Lemmy are okay, but they are pretty big compromise so far.

It’s annoying that they chose to shout out the instance that is not completely open to new users and has de-federated from other popular instances
