Hah, no it isn’t. They want it to be, but it’ll only be clueless poors that use it, and then the price will creep up super quickly and it’ll be full of ads and everything is a subscription and your favorite games will just randomly disappear and you won’t be able to do a damn thing about it and suddenly you’ll go “shit, I should have just bought a computer.”

If you trust streaming gaming to be handled responsibly then you should really ask yourself why these companies want so badly for you to not only not own your games but also not even own your hardware, and why you even entertain the notion that the companies offering it will behave any better when they have total control over your entire gaming ecosystem.

Pillory this man. I am not joking even a little. Put him in stocks in the middle of a major city and encourage people to pelt him with rotting produce.

Is it really a buyback if you’re only leasing the device?

Groooooss. You’ll own nothing and you’ll like it.

The decision of which reciprocating saw is the best value?

So stop developing for China to steal. Make them develop it and steal it from them instead.

They would sell you a game on 20 discs if you’d buy it that way. The price of discs is negligible. They are trying to kill the availability of used games so they can charge $60 for 10 year-old games because there are no other options.

The Epstein class desperately wants this. They can get around it easily, and this way anything bad you say about them can be tied directly to your identity. This will never catch a rich person, it’s about persecuting dissenters who threaten their power.

“Performant” means it performs well. Performative means they’re doing something as a performance rather than for substance, doing something just as a show, like Trump reading Bible quotes

People who can’t figure out their power settings are shipping software. We’re so fucked.

“Could” is a funny way of saying “are obviously intended to”. Stop playing around, call it out directly. Points where you must have your ID checked are, in fact, ID checkpoints.

I don’t believe this is an honest question. They aren’t age-gating, they’re checking IDs of everyone so they know exactly who is saying everything online, and can easily persecute opposing viewpoints. The excuse is kids, they don’t give a shit about kids.

“Amazon says the system is secured against hackers” …You dumb evil pieces of shit, your employees and malicious government and law enforcement entities are a far greater risk than hackers. “We’re spying on everything you do and giving Trump’s constitution-ignoring lackeys access, but at least hackers aren’t, probably”

English clearly isn’t their first language, but the intent is pretty obviously “As if they aren’t already making ARC GPUs?”

No, you need an alternative to apps in the Apple app store, which already exist. Don’t pay for anything through an app on an Apple device, they will rob the creator. Pay through the Patreon web site.

They didn’t have the opportunity. They absolutely wanted to,

This fuckhead as the head of a gaming company, what a fucking joke. This loser has never had fun in his life

Yes, but he’s very much correct here. Paint-eating clock syndrome.

England is turning into a really proper shithole country

And yet it still had room to get worse, and it’s still not even in its shittiest form.
