Same. Last.fm also agreed with what Spotify told me.

I think the point they’re making is that the insane 80+ hour work weeks talked about in the article are, well, insane. What’s even more insane is if they are working 80+ hours a week and only making $120K-$200K, they’re actually just making $60K-$100K or less in what would be a 40 hour week, with the price of giving up your life and sanity.

This is a meme, right?

It looks like the number of people who RuneScape (3?) is less than that, but OSRS seems to have a healthy population.

Because they make a lot of money.

Would you be happier if it were paid DLC? It’s more fitting as a mod anyway, since the whole thing was very on-the-rails.

You’re right about that, but that doesn’t address the main concerns I made in my post.

Listen, I love my Steam Deck, but it isn’t a reasonable replacement for heavy Switch users, like this guy and his family. It’s not exactly a high-spec’d machine and as a result, in my experience, none of the Switch games play at their original FPS on the Deck. Some are so bad that they are unplayable. Online play is going to be, at best, limited and far more difficult to manage. Heck, setting it up in general for kids that probably just want to play the damn games is going to be more annoying. The worst part would be listening to, “Dad, why can’t we just buy a Switch?” a thousand times.
