I feel stupid but I have only ever bought devices that are open or able to be jailbroken. I don’t get how sometimes when the jail walled garden bdsm relationship punishes it’s people, they react with a gasp, as if they thought their locked hardware that isn’t open to their owner that they “have” isn’t made for exactly that purpose?
It’s like yeah Janet. It’s why you brought it. So you can play only their games and watch their movies and enjoy things that they decide the price and allowance of. You selected that? You chose to hire this device? Well I split mine open to use it for what it can do. No drm has ever succeeded. It’s a grift protected by laziness and - as always, lawyers and lobbyists who have yet to grow up
Only a corporate officer that is fully enslaved by the lawyers of that corpo will not see how it’s good business when humans engage with your product. When gamers play and interact with your code. It’s pure folly to cite some trade war or corporate war with another corpo. No dude. Share with also other devs. Be a fucking human. You are not a corpo slave droid. I am so glad that valve is not publicly traded. Holy shit it must take a lot to be the leading company in this market and not bend to capitalist pressures
Yes, I have always thought about what it would feel with actual immersion, the kind that can only come from infinite content areas. An mmo role-playing server or similar games that have generative content. Now I think it will feel like it does with other content areas, such as if you don’t complete all levels of a game like candy crush, that it has a different taste than something with “technically” infinite content. If the type of player whose enjoyment is immersion based it has major potential once context issues for local models can be improved.
If only there was a specific law or several to prevent this kind of grift
