TIHI mods have moved here btw: TIHI@kbin.social
The thing that I’ve seen pretty consistently from both RIF and Apollo devs is that they’re not disputing the fact that reddit needs to start making a profit. Nobody’s (seriously) complaining about what was free becoming not free.
The fact is, if this was purely about money, they’d be willing to negotiate on price. The price they’re asking is ~70x more than imgur, which hosts images WAAAAAY heavier to host than text, and links etc.
If it was solely about showing ads, they could have given 3PAs access to reddit ads via the api, and enforced showing them.
There are several ways this could have worked for everyone.
Reddit wanted to kill 3PAs. That’s the only logical conclusion here. Hell, if they’d come out and said THAT, as well as fixing the problems with their own app first, I might even have been able see their side of it. I would still be pissed, but it’d be more understandable than this very blatant Twitter-esque death-by-pricing thing they’re trying to do.
Bought it early on, because I heard PC wasn’t so bad. It was. Came back to it about 6 months ago and got through the main story.
It was better. The bugs were more in the Bethesda realm of funny, but not game breaking.
I’m in two minds as to whether to pick up PL. On one hand, I’m kinda done with Cyberpunk. It was fine. I’m not sure I need to go back…
On the other hand, apparently the expansion adds a lot to things like police AI, so it might actually be worth going back.
I dunno. Will see what reviews are like when it’s out
