Yeah, and as the article links, this is just not about media, CDs, DVDs and games. It’s also about very physical products that we immediately associate as “owned” - like printers, phones, cars, tractors or even, (lol) trains. They’re all locked to manufacturers parts and repair services and increasingly difficult to circumvent.
Get a physical copy that doesn’t require internet activation then, assholes.
I think the point was, it is increasingly hard to find such products.
And even once you think you’ve bought such product, DRM makes sure it’s still not really yours.
There’s thousand different stats around this, but generally most analysts place consoles slightly ahead of PC with stronger growth potential, but it depends a bit where in the generation cycle they do their measurements.
Most of this has been overshadowed by mobile gaming though.
Smaller marketshare,
Pretty sure they’d release mobiile > console > PC if they could get away with it.
The PC release will be a year or so after to get people to double dip.
But at least MKBHD tried to say nice things about it in his video. He really tried.
Antenna Pod is 10/10.
What’s really wild is that you don’t have to go that far into the past (just ca. 20 years) when the Internet was all about Information wanting to be Free. It was hopeful time of people coming together around new technology. There were a lot new businesses with wild innovations.
And then, just in a decade it was all gone. Replaced by unregulated behemoths that merged until there’s a dirty dozen left, controlling most of global money and information.
Enshittification of the Internet.
The real problem with the internet isn’t Facebook or Twitter or Reddit, it’s the fact the entire experience is pretty much controlled by Microsoft and Google
I think the real problem is that the entire Internet is basically just a dozen multi-billion Big Tech companies and the entire “Internet economy” is so tightly weaved into advertising money.
In words of Dan Geer from his 2014 Black Hat keynote:
Today the relevant legal concept is “product liability” and the
fundamental formula is “If you make money selling something, then
you better do it well, or you will be held responsible for the
trouble it causes.” For better or poorer, the only two products
not covered by product liability today are religion and software,
and software should not escape for much longer.
The EU legislation has good intentions. Software should not escape product liability. However, the current proposal is somewhat flawed (unless EU actually intends to finance security testing for FOSS projects!) and it needs some language to protect open-source innovation and distributed development models.
I’m hoping the EU will allow a model where FOSS developers can receive donations/charge for support without having to risk huge penalties.
fair enough
It’s 1,67 €/month, but sure, each to their own.

Very easy to pick up auto-battler. Short matches, but quite a lot of tactical depth.
I know there have been multiple patches that fixed bugs and gameplay
Yep, it’s been fixed. And it’s awesome. Well worth playing
I’m a 47 year old guy and I’m not ashamed to say that I enjoy video games. I always have, from playing Head over Heels on a Speccy +2 to ESO and Valorant on my self built PC.
I’m 51. I have house, wife, two kids and I run my own company. I could never, ever think about stop gaming. I’ve been doing this since the 80s. It’s my hobby and my way to socialize and wind-down. It is my go-to when I need to get my mind off things. I’d be a literal wreck without it. I’m not ashamed of it and I will talk about it with anyone curious. Just like they might talk about sailing boats or golf trips. No difference.
Due to various life circumstances, I’m also on the dating scene and to most women I meet, around my age, video games are anathema. When I say that I like them it’s usually meet with an “oh dear” or a “my son would probably love to talk to you about them, I find them really boring”
That is a really shitty and demeaning way to speak to someone. What the actual fuck? Very rude.
Have you ever tried to tell them that insulting someones hobbies isn’t the best way to go about meeting people?
Will this cost us Half-Life 3?
Rich business dudes threatening other rich business dudes with… business.
There’s not much “technology” in there.
It’s wild that a site with hundreds of millions of users, didn’t invest into multiple-account deletion tools.
True start-up mentality, that one.
Just shows how our “critical” social media is really just some hasty tape and bubblegum behind the scenes to keep the front from falling apart.
