    While I’m glad of the improvement, Steam is a business and this presumably reflects the reality of the games industry right now: indie games are cheaper and get better reviews than many AAA games. Steam wants to sell as many games as possible so it makes absolute sense to make games that people actually buy and like discoverable.

    If you check indie dev communities it’s massive, like 70% of total wishlists coming from the personal calendar.

    Hooded Horse, presumably? Not ‘Borse’. I can’t confirm since the link doesn’t work.

    Also isn’t archive.is the one run by a vindictive chud who’s been using it to DDOS someone’s blog? Just post the original article.

      Typo fixed.

      I do usually mirror on archive.org/archive.is (whoever save the page first) when a website become annoying with unreasonable amount of popup (“please log”, “please install our app”, “please eat our spyware cookie”, “please pay subscription if you don’t want to sell your data”)… All this on net positive of ublock already blocking most crap.

      It’s a LinkedIn post, so I appreciate that there’s a mirror since I’m never logging in to LinkedIn to view it.

      A better solution would have been to just paste the text here.

      Are there any alternatives that work well at bypassing generic paywalls?
