Either they are out of touch, or they are trying to rewrite history… neither of which is a good look. The handling of Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t only change my view on them but pretty much soured me on all AAA publishers, “good” or not. There are way more than enough amazing indie games on offer and not enough time to play them.

One of Reddit’s main pressure points for forcing reopening was that it was “unfair for the users” to keep data hidden and inaccessible. Mirroring all that data takes away some of the leverage. So I can understand the value… we can move and we don’t have to worry about Reddit taking its ball and going home or claiming it deserves to be hostile because it is the steward of so much information.

This is what needs to happen. All these groups that relied on Reddit as a “transparent” and safe method to host forums need to move out. All that’s happening here is that Reddit feels like they own all this data and information and thinks they can charge for it.

Happy to see Jellyfin making the move that is beyond “going to the next Reddit” and actually taking ownership of their data and community to safeguard it.

Loving my steam deck but sadly don’t get a lot of time to play even on something so portable. I’ve been fooling with Cozy Grove lately, though!
