I'll take €5 over the ~$200 they tried to charge me last time I used them

Can you ELI5 Deezer abd FunkWhale, and how they replace what Spotify is offering?
FWIW I believe Mario Galaxy was recompiled for Switch with only some parts being handled via emulation, so it likely isn't just a broad drop-in solution for any game. Though I do wonder if they did something similar for Pikmin and Metroid Prime
Also not to be a Deborah P. Downington but whenever I see URLs advertised where I'm not expecting them, my first instinct is "Eww, spam" and very much not "I should go to that URL because it might be a good reddit alternative"
I was thinking more like Silent Hill, except I can find any abandoned storefront and turn it into my base. And not just add crafting stuff, but full on furniture and decorations like Raft. Stardew Valley seems very built around the town and the farm IIRC and I want something that could be maybe more randomized like Don't Starve, and then other people could drop in and play like Animal Crossing.
Don't Starve but more Animal Crossing. Lot more casual vibes and cozy customization, but the creepy aspects leaning more into survival horror.
I like the sabotage but when this was announced I 100% assumed it was an attempt to boost engagement numbers as they approach their IPO, and looks like it's working for that.
How do games like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and some of the Super Mario platformers with timers fit into this? I ask because they're more on the casual side of the spectrum compared to something like Zelda.
I just wish the competition gave any attention to Linux support. GOG Galaxy has been out idk how long, they sell Linux games, and still not even a launcher.
Statista says:
In 2022, Amazon's total consolidated net sales revenue amounted to 514 billion U.S. dollars
Their part of the fine is about $56.7 million, making it about 0.01% of that amount.
In US minimum wage terms, that's working full time for a year and then having to pay about $1.50.
Yeah it's a common complaint of Majora's Mask, too, even though it's less of a time limit and more of a timeline that you repeat over and over. It's just that extra mental barrier for people to deal with, that seems like it affects some people more.
I hear the time limit isn't in Pikmin 4 though?
It's been invite-only for a long while, so they can manage the userbase easier. I imagine that, plus the lack of support for visual content makes it challenging for engagement.
