Yep because they drove up expectations while gaslighting and pretending they had tech they didn’t over and over and over and over to make “theoretical” money and used short sighted abuse of developers to milk all trust from all up because heretical insane hyper capitalist profiteering models are actively destructive and the owners are heartless fools lacking ethical compass because we bred and selected them to only be slaves to the megacorps and do its will without dying from the incurred emotional impact that is supposed to come to those morally corrupt traitors of human kind that rape their own species to serve idols of hyper capitalist delusional demonic entities that are a raw blight spawn from the greed of dying or dead sociopaths ego

Playing with a amiga as a kid when I was at friends and got to play Nintendo I always felt like an outsider… But I didn’t realise how lucky I am that it was like that. I was exposed to so many more games, and got to tinker. Got to see many crack intros that was mesmerising to me as a kid. Soon enough I got into coding because of it… And guess if that was useful later. I’m never going to think buying a walled garden device is ok, sends the wrong message to your kids and hampers their development. Don’t take the easy way out.

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
The only way to speak on of a policy is good or bad is to assume it is used against you, there is no working argument that begins or ends with doesn’t affect me
