The crazy part isn’t that people want to be able to disable that. The crazy part is that they want to pay to disable them…

No you guys, that should just be an option, no questions asked. Included in the options menu for… Well, whatever the asking price of the base game is. Also known as included in the base game.

I distinctly remember buying both unreal and unreal tournament from GoG on sale when it was still listed there. So yeah, people did buy those.

Right. AI music? Hopefully not, it is likely going to lead to generic slop that may infringe on other artists copyright. AI Podcasts? OH GOD NO! factual news isn’t working with AI and you guys think that opinions with AI is a good idea? Are you crazy?

Now music recommendations? That might just work given that algorithms are already doing a decent job at presenting new ( to the particular user, not by actual age) music that the user may enjoy. The question really is if that is actually better than what we already have. And there is only one way to find out, which is by testing it and then being honest about it.

Arguably. The worst part about that is that you don’t get to know how that story ends…

Don’t tell him about C3PO… or all those other fun ones around.

“Kathy is a smart person, but she sure didn’t have the luck of the Irish,” said Anne Lebrecht, Watson’s 74-year-old mother.

No… I don’t think so, she is neither smart nor lucky. Quite the opposite. She is an idiot and got dealt a bad hand. But she voted for that. So I guess she gets what she deserves. Apparently In her mind nothing of value was lost so far.

Oh well…what they gonna do, idiots do idiot things. And will pay the price for being THOSE idiots.

Dark Souls.

You need to play NG+ and a fair bit of NG++ to be able to get everything on one character.

The hottest year on record… So far.

“beset on all sides, with idiots”

Probably 5 minutes or so. 10 if I include the time spent driving there. Usually it’s quiet enough that it’s not waiting in line but rather waiting to have everything sorted out.

TL:DR:

Government contracts and the money that it brings with it. As well as tryingt to be on a certain politicians good side should he win the election in the US.

Obviously… Ubisoft

FDP politicians doing dumb shit? Never heard that one before…

Great. When do we stop giving them money and strip them of all their rights within the EU? And keep it that way until they either leave or correct that behaviour.

To be fair. The Steam forums are actually pretty bad in general and could do with better moderation.

Having said that, there is a reason why some corporations have the reputation that they have. Might want to fix the thing that is causing that reputation instead of blaming everyone else for your bad reputation. But that would be the harder thing to do that takes time and effort and no one likes to put effort in.

Come on… Shitty safety measures have never, ever, in the history of mankind led to catastrophic events with a lasting fallout. -some government that collapsed

After all after some point safety is just pure waste of money. -some dead CEO

It doesn’t take enshittification for something real bad to happen. All it takes is time. Add the mentioned enshittification and corner cutting and we know for sure what will happen…

Or how the saying in EvE online goes : it’s not a question on if your ship gets blown up but a question of when it gets blown up.

We don’t know, contract work can be hell with clients being really picky and uncooperative.

Not to mention that they may have picked them despite the fact that they are not a good fit but were available. We can’t assume that they are good with more scripted rollercoaster rides when they are mainly known for systemic games.

Isn’t that more like the difference between own project and IP versus contracted project and IP?

He’s so boned… Done goofed up now!

“prison warden advocates for locking everyone up for their own safety”

The network providers know full well that the market is saturated and that they have to make a better offer if they want to gain market share. The only thing device lock in does is improve their bottom line since they can force you into a shitty contract for longer. It has NO benefit for the consumer whatsoever.
