The crazy part isn’t that people want to be able to disable that. The crazy part is that they want to pay to disable them…

No you guys, that should just be an option, no questions asked. Included in the options menu for… Well, whatever the asking price of the base game is. Also known as included in the base game.

I distinctly remember buying both unreal and unreal tournament from GoG on sale when it was still listed there. So yeah, people did buy those.

Right. AI music? Hopefully not, it is likely going to lead to generic slop that may infringe on other artists copyright. AI Podcasts? OH GOD NO! factual news isn’t working with AI and you guys think that opinions with AI is a good idea? Are you crazy?

Now music recommendations? That might just work given that algorithms are already doing a decent job at presenting new ( to the particular user, not by actual age) music that the user may enjoy. The question really is if that is actually better than what we already have. And there is only one way to find out, which is by testing it and then being honest about it.

Arguably. The worst part about that is that you don’t get to know how that story ends…

Don’t tell him about C3PO… or all those other fun ones around.

Dark Souls.

You need to play NG+ and a fair bit of NG++ to be able to get everything on one character.

The hottest year on record… So far.

Probably 5 minutes or so. 10 if I include the time spent driving there. Usually it’s quiet enough that it’s not waiting in line but rather waiting to have everything sorted out.

Obviously… Ubisoft

FDP politicians doing dumb shit? Never heard that one before…

Great. When do we stop giving them money and strip them of all their rights within the EU? And keep it that way until they either leave or correct that behaviour.

To be fair. The Steam forums are actually pretty bad in general and could do with better moderation.

Having said that, there is a reason why some corporations have the reputation that they have. Might want to fix the thing that is causing that reputation instead of blaming everyone else for your bad reputation. But that would be the harder thing to do that takes time and effort and no one likes to put effort in.

Come on… Shitty safety measures have never, ever, in the history of mankind led to catastrophic events with a lasting fallout. -some government that collapsed

After all after some point safety is just pure waste of money. -some dead CEO

It doesn’t take enshittification for something real bad to happen. All it takes is time. Add the mentioned enshittification and corner cutting and we know for sure what will happen…

Or how the saying in EvE online goes : it’s not a question on if your ship gets blown up but a question of when it gets blown up.

What a bogus bit of research. “So, our research shows that we can indeed infer political leanings from a person’s consumption and lifestyle choices.” No you fuckwits, all you can tell from your bloody research is that people make assumptions about other people on choices they made. Even more so if you then assume a theoretical other person to exist and have stereotyped the choices.

It really feels more like they wanted to make a point and worked backwards to get there.

Money. That’s why.

People double dipping and people that buy it on pc release for full price when that is just too much to ask at that point.

I waited years and years for RdR2 to be at a reasonable price, only bought it because I had a gift card and only needed to pay what amounted to a candy bar. Still managed to get disappointed with the start of the game. In hindsight I should have gotten a refund for it because a candy bar would have been the better choice.

Blocked instance… They can figure their stuff out without me because I don’t want anything to do with them.

Cool. But I can’t help the fact that it feels like a potential security risk to me. It is not unknown just how low they can stoop to get their way so I would expect that to be no different there.

Now that’s one shit experiment to figure something specific out.

Why not both?

I do give a shit, and at this point I want to see that platform taken down for good. Because otherwise it’s a platform for nefarious shit and abuse. And no one needs that. Especially not the gullible.
