  • We need to quickly phase out the low-skill stream of the TFW program, which the government has expanded to let companies fill perceived labour shortages.

    Is it truly just perceived? I'd want to see some stats on where the labour force is actually thin.

  • I can agree that challenging Steam is probably a good thing, but right now Steam just gives so much more value to Devs and publishers. Steam provides:

    • a review system
    • remote play
    • the workshop
    • discussion threads
    • cards and the points store

    and that's just what I can think of, not including the player specific stuff like library sharing.

    Devs and publishers pay more, but get a community and ecosystem in return instead of just a platform.

  • Since health care is already under the purview of the provinces it kind of make sense to also let them handle dental. The claim in raising in max household income is not insignificant either. However, ultimately it comes down to whether you trust the province to not cock it up. Right now I don't think I would trust the Ontario government with it.

  • Sorry, I don't think I understand what you're suggesting. Are you saying encryption keys should themselves be encrypted?

    FYI this story isn't about plaintext passwords, it's about plaintext encryption keys to chat history.

  • They've admitted they have a problem with getting new players so everything they do needs to somehow draw in new players. Getting their current playerbase to create and buy/sell isn't enough of a reason to create such tools especially if they don't think they can match the experience of the other platforms, hence the technological competition. They need to be able to provide excellent tools and an excellent way to host and share creations to draw in creatives who could become new players.

  • There's little business sense to make it exclusively for the current player base. You'd be risking wringing your customers dry. It HAS to attract new players and thus new income sources. If they can't compete, then it's not worth the time and money to create and maintain those tools. You compete with other companies in a space purely by investing your time and money in that space because anything spent is expected to eventually turn a profit.
