They share hosting servers, that doesn’t make them the same service. When the power goes out do you think you and your neighbors live in the same house?

Just keep sucking down the hype. They don’t share the same hosting for the frontend but they both use the same backend. The backend is of course owned by microsoft. duckduckgo uses bings backend and somehow you have convinced yourself beyond all evidence to the contray that it isn’t bing with a different wrapper.

When you can’t pay Stardew Valley (because Steam is down) you also can’t play Eldenring. They must use the same backend and Eldenring is just Stardew Valley by another name.

You’re going to need a better source than “they go down at the same time”.

You are not getting it. Its a documented fact that duckduckgo uses bing search. You keep coming up with these other poor examples when its acknowledged by duckduckgo that they use bing. Of course they say they are more than bing but in the end that is just hype. This probably wont convince you since you are not looking for answers

This is because the company uses Microsoft’s Bing to power its search results.

Of course all these sources could be wrong and its just you who is right. Right?
