Hyper enthusiast, price-insensitive players are really keeping things going, especially in the non f2p gaming space.

According to Circana's Q3 2025 Future of Games, only 4% of US video game players buy a new game more often than once per month, with a third of players not buying any games at all.

Good news everyone

Это приложение явно лихорадит от наплыва новых пользователей, сервера тупят, всё работает медленнее, чем обычно.

I don't like piracy. Better If i pay 1 cent per music track I listen in Spotify to artists, then nothing.

My man, nowadays in Russia all these platforms don't work. If I wanna hear new music i only have Spotify with an account for Brasil or Turkey region ( I'll pay x3 price for it), or just use some local streaming service with Kremlin censorship and songs about how great is war.

You can buy music directly, you can buy merchandise. There are many ways to support your favorite artists. But without Spotify algorithms i simply never know about many many small singers. It's not as bad like you think.

Musicians are the intelligentsia.

I dunno, kinda like 5 dollars a month. Anyway it's better for artists to have some money from subscriptions then zero if I don't pay anything.

text: how the pirates work one of the few legal things a professional pirate does in his murky business is to buy a copy of the original prog- ram. he gets hold of drongo, the great new spectrum mega-game and takes it to his duplicating plant. this is a very professional set-up allowing the copying of cassette covers as well as tapes. after all, these people have been in the audio-tape piracy business for years. af- ter that, until the police took too close an interest, they had substantial interests in video-tape copying. so they know what they're doing. he runs off 5,000 copies more if it's a really big hit. he phones a business ac- quaintance who just hap- pens to be a software distri- butor with fewer scruples than most. the deal is closed, leaving the pirate and distributor a few thousand richer, and the software house a few thousand poorer. and the final link in the chain? that's you, an inno- cent party to a nasty busi- ness. you end up paying the full price for a tape which cost the profiteers hardly anything. and they're not likely to be putting anything back into developing new games.
