thanks AV

Well theres your problem lmao

Right, the actual solution is everyone taking their money out of the bank on the same day

And considering that people with more money get more votes it kinda doesn’t matter if you support it or not. Somebody will, and somebody with more disposable income than your entire income could decide on a whim to defeat the collective action all by themselves. Same thing as candy crush type stuff, they only need one whale to make all the free players worth it.

I agree that piracy should become more widespread. It’s the only way for companies to feel the pain of losing customers. Otherwise its an opportunity cost calculation for the corporation: how many players can they afford to lose in order to increase returns from the players they dont lose.

Make that calculation unbearable and suddenly the math changes – customers are prioritized above further optimizing of profits. That only happens if the cost of not doing right by customers is an outright loss of money. Not lower profits, monetary losses.

Until these choices stop being profitable it’s literally irrational for them to not abuse their customers.

Fair enough, I cant even pretend to understand how this stuff works lol I figured we would be at least a decade out from “emulating” a steam deck if it even were possible anyway

Is there any chance some psycho is gonna make a steam deck Linux package to “emulate” on desktop? I feel like that’s probably gonna happen before game devs make their games universally compatible

Pretty poorly conceived article, seems heavily likely to be AI.

You can make arguments that technofeudalism is not a completely sound hypothesis but this article basically just ignores the content of the concept and argues against supposed incongruences with classical feudalism. These critiques are things yanis has specifically countered in his conversations around the concept. Arguing against the thesis by saying “There are plenty of opportunities outside of Amazon, meta, etc” is pretty bad faith as well.

The author either didn’t actually look into it beyond the summary or is incapable of holding information in that way due to being an LLM

We’re all trying to find the guy who did this!
