From what I’ve read, the information they’re gathering already exists and can be gathered by the server (browser type, user, etc.) with an added layer of encryption to ensure that information isn’t tampered with which is easily spoofed today. Of course, this approach doesn’t stop folks from tampering with the web browser directly to inject whatever information (outside of maybe what browser they’re using since that’ll be tied to the key) they want into the payload but that makes closed-source web browsers substantially more trustworthy (aka not Firefox) to site owners.

If this does gain mass market adoption, then yeah, I suspect it will force users to use proprietary web browsers (google chrome, edge, etc.). Which is a step in the direction that Google wants.

I imagine that ad providers (Google) can also start throwing their weight to force mass adoption by de-monetizing non-compliant browsers, which may pressure site owners to not serve non-compliant browsers.

Correct me if I’m mistaken.

I enjoyed Remnant 1: the only souls-like with a proper focus on gun play that I know of. Hope 2 improves upon the predecessor.

I’m just praying they released it in a somewhat optimized state even if it takes longer to reach pc. Devs nowadays seemed to have abandoned optimization for pc on release (Wo Long and Jedi Survivor comes to mind).

Hasn’t been since at least FFXIV.

“So you can do away with the clickbait-y, karma or like farming…”

Are there many individual users who participate in these type of activities?

My understanding is that a lot of it is automated: farming with the intent to make accounts look legitimate and eventually manipulate public opinion to whatever ends (like selling a product/service).

Is kbin doing anything different that would curb or dissuade such behavior?

@tate

That’s great to hear! I’ll likely move ahead with my plans then, it’s comforting to know that at least someone is using it.
