Kernel-level anti cheat is spyware, say it with me everybody. Complain on steam about it. Post this nonstop. This standard is NOT OK and needs to change and that’s the only way it might.
Ehh but did they really though? Or did they microdose shrooms in chocolate bars and attend some bougie retreat at a ski resort? I’d say the latter is the real problem. Nobody has respect for anything anymore.
For real though. Todd Howard needs to like, take some shrooms and meditate in the mountains. Touch grass. Given the headass shit he’s said lately it’s transparently clear he’s one of the biggest things standing in the way of another decent Bethesda game- I think the days of those might be done for good, I hate to say.
Yeah with how starfield turned out this isn’t the right thing to say imo. Nobody wants these games rushed out. Bethesda games were made with love and care, once.
Why? I mean it’s not COD but it absolutely has themes( that are often played out satirically tbf, but equally fetishistically in my opinion) of 50’s nostalgia, cold war paranoia and xenophobia, and violence as a means to a end. Not to mention anti-communism.
I mean, the U.S military lends conditional support (I;e, provides equipment, funds and footage) to all sorts of films. Marvel movies being fairly good examples of this in general. Obviously, I’m just speculating and half-joking but It’s naive to think that doesn’t happen with video games as well to some extent.
This all but confirms a soft propaganda deal to make current american government/military seem more competent and benign IMHO. That or Todd Howard has a increasingly bad whippet problem which, you know, isn’t out of the question.
Linux is so much more power-efficent than Windows lol. One word: bloatware
