To be fair, almost every popular competitive video game does involve violence in some way and will be classified accordingly by PEGI (which they looked at in this study).

They did not actually “backpedal” just yet.

We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days.

This is a nonpology making no promises whatsoever.

Just did a quick test. On the high quality setting it reduced a 3MB input jpeg image to 0.5MB with a very noticable loss in quality. To me at least that qualifies as “extreme”. Why not just have a third option allowing you to send images without recompression? In order to do that you currently have to trick Signal by e.g. changing the file extension or sending the images hidden in a zip file, which ist just terrible UX.

They’ve made their games in unity

Slay The Spire isn’t made with Unity, just its developer’s next title, which has been in development for 2 years. So still pretty bad, but Slay The Spire should be unaffected at least.

I’m not saying Telegram is in any way more secure or trustworthy; of course it isn’t. Just that it’s on a completely different level in terms of features and UI/UX.

Not sure I’ve ever seen Signal push anything crypto related.

It’s called MobileCoin and it’s right there in the app settings, under “Payments”. They raised almost $80 million in venture capital in 2021 from different investors.

use Signal

I so wish Signal was actually good. When I persuaded most of my family and some friends to switch a few years ago, I really hoped it would get better.

But on top of things like still requiring a phone number, not allowing third party clients and integrating their own crypto currency payments into the app, the overall UX is still pretty bad compared to other messaging apps with very few improvements over the last couple of years.

As a consequence I still have Telegram installed just in case I need to e.g. send an image without extreme quality loss or share my live location. My most recent annoyance was not being able to delete old media (to keep the database from growing into the tens of gigabytes) without also deleting the corresponding messages.
