this should be common knowledge

that would require us to be in control of our own lives, instead of rich owning us. thorough research costs a lot of money and resources. it would cut into profits and some rich guy might not be able to buy third yact.

do enlighten us with a hypotetical scenario

there are many other things that were considered unrealistical legal obligations. our current consumer protections as a whole most likely were opposed by businesses at first, expect at that time governments were less puppet theaters for corporations.

and what was being asked was not unreasonable at all. No one asked for complicated solutions like simulating entire mmo community or whatever, just that the damn corporations would let community handle it once they dont want to upkeep the servers anymore or that they wouldnt be allowed to literally steal the game from you.

The reason why businesses oppose stop killing games is because people would buy less if they could keep playing the old ones (and not even everyone, just portion of them.)

If we cant get even a little thing like this, what hope do we have with big things?

then why not do as people ask if they dont care?

list everyone who voted for rejection, dig up what else they have been up to, make sure people know and will not forget. no peace for these assholes. even if it doesnt do anything, just having them think it might do something is enough.

these people have prevented other laws too or voted for shitty ones. And, if naming and shaming them isnt part of democracy then we have no democracy at all as then actions can’t have consequences.

its actually quite weird how strongly the ai is being pushed everywhere. Though I guess it just proves how deep the rot goes.

i wonder if it eventually comes to having to resort to legal action because of this. Those detectors are unreliable yet you can be penalized based on what they spew. And lost grades is lasting consequence.

only way to stop them from being monopoly would require anti-consumer actions, penalizing them for providing better service than others (which is what i assume is the goal of the “competitors” such as epic so they dont have to provide good service to compete).

Imo, these things should always be done user interests first, companies will manage always anyway. In the worst case the ceo can buy few yacts less.

well, i guess if they stop them from being monopoly it lowers the risk of valve going bad. if they went bad it would be a nightmare scenario for games. At the very least for me since proton is only way i can even play stuff easily on linux.

First we take down valves “monopoly”, then we yell hurray and watch all the other companies suddenly turn good?

What do you propose should be done?

it would let the ones in power drop all pretense of caring since they could just print more people at will

ffs, why must everything good turn out to be shit. well, gog hasnt been THAT good, but it has been nice extra thing. knowing companies cant do anything without having at least 6 meetings about it, there is no way this went unnoticed by people there, so i rule out rogue actor doing this.

how about trillion tons of zimbabwean dollars

change it to “happy-adjustable-spanners” like that one guy did when he lost a bet 😄

There are many kinds of ‘ambitious’. Starfield was wear slightly more colorful(But not too colorful) tie than standard style ambitious.

but where does henry put the armor & clothes, hmm? Where does henry put them??

Just dont tell Polyphemus Nobody is sitting there.

i like the communopoly rules better

this is malware, i dont even care if its to stop cheaters.
