They are, for some reason people just like to call them something else.

There are less puritans than gooners, if a corpo is backing the puritans is because that corpo is ran by one of those demons.

Considering valve is, basically, the gateway to a billion dollar industry, they certainly have the weight to throw around and get this done, or at least to prop up a less demonic processor. It’ll take time whatever they do, but i really hope they are doing something.

they could and should fight this, Amazon did and they came out on top, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t the payment processors fault.

I’m glad to find good reasons for misanthropy even in the small things.

I swear Nintendo is the reason for the stereotypes about Japanese businessmen. Delusionally prideful, psychotically controlling, aggressively narcissistic, and entirely ass backwards.

gaben has out right explained why trying to stop it is stupid, and he was objectively correct too.

They could just… Not have tracking chips in our property? Piracy isn’t a big deal, even with stupid shit like this driving more people towards it.

Selling data on people is a lucrative business. Although it is a business and not UBI.

Not really. Unlimited means no data cap, not infinite bandwidth, and that’s perfectly reasonable to provide. Data isn’t a limited resource, the only thing that’s committed is the amount you can get right at that second.

Not the just server for it, tankies are apparently pretty anti culture.

This one is probably a shotty circlejerk community, the kinda reddit behavior that no one likes.

Complete agreement here then, the circlejerks on Reddit were the bane of the site. Just a bunch of kids that think having opinions is uncool.

These shitty circle jerk communities or the ones where people complain about shitty mods?

Musk wants to be acknowledged as superior by everyone, Trump only cares about a few fashie friends/idols/key holders of his.

The corpo media doesn’t want you writing about real solutions, it’s easier to get away with here! And i doubt the alphabet agencies will care as much as they used to now that they’re being directly attacked.

Yeah, i haven’t had anything go wrong in at least a decade.

Same!

An idea i had that i imagine would turn out pretty well is Japanese speaking forums for westerners specifically. It’d have a buy in that no one interested in only trolling would go in for (learning a language, especially one far from English).

Some pirate coves protect themselves by requiring an invite from someone already in the community, that could work really well too.

Generally, just requiring a little work to get someplace would make communities a lot nicer.

I never accused them of being competent. They’re getting into a death spiral, but there still isn’t a very good and well known alternative to leech the disgruntled customer base.
