What's the lie? Netflix doesn't give a fuck about you or me. They're creating a list of games to provide their subscribers because they want to make more money. You want the government to pass a law that says they cant or something?

Our power here is to subscribe or not. That's it, find another avenue to exercise control in your life if that's not enough for you.

So then pirate the mobile version like the rest of us, this is a good news, there's a native mobile executable of these games now, who cares if it's a subscription or one time purchase??

Then dont subscribe, they're not planning on making money selling to people who already on it on PC. Netflix is making it available to people who didn't buy this on PC.

If enough people dont play it, they'll lose money and they wont do it again. If a lot of people play it, then who the fuck are you to tell other people the right way to enjoy playing games?

Bear care. Bear, care.

i mean, yeah it's basically the amount of work of a semester long course in making everything from windows work in linux

twilight imperium

It's about the service.

You're missing the point, the article is wrong: it's not about the prices.

Yeah, it's reall not even about the prices. It's just so inconvenient to go between all those apps, and then login forgot your password, rest, 2FA so i have to get up from my couch and grab my phone.

All these paid services could be totally free from a monetary perspective and I still wouldn't sign back up for them. It's a worse service than cable TV used to be at this point.

I’m a “follower” of the Austrian School of Economics

Okay, so you admit you have no idea how economics work. That's really cool you're part of an economics fanfic club though.

They dont eat ants???

In fact, monopolies can only survive through government-grant privileges

This is just false. You dont understand economics at all if you dont understand how all free markets naturally devolve into monopolies. Yes, governments can also grant monopolies by force, but without antitrust laws literally every market becomes a monopoly.

Soak it in gasoline?

I used it since netscape navigator XD

The only difference is that, in a free-market setting, they wouldn’t have any monopolical privileges

You cant have a free market without a government enforcing anti monopoly laws.

It's the same thing as trump in the US, they just say things angry people want to hear, and they get elected and end up being the selfserving lying pieces of shit they always were. The difference in Argentina is all the choices are lying pieces of shit. Yeah Milei sucks but so does Kirchner and Fernandez.

Why would you trust an oligarchy of politicians (the State) to decide which goods are useful “for a community” and which don’t?

Because we voted for them. We didn't vote for the board of directors of private companies. There's plenty of waste and corruption in private enterprise. It's not voluntary if they lie cheat and steal just like bad politicians.

The problem is when crooks privatize these things they steal billions of dollars worth of taxpayer money. Yes Argentina is messed up, but it's because of corruption. Privatization or socialization, both will fail because of corruption.

Like, private school or public school, they both fail if the principal is stealing money, this isn't a leftist/rightist issue.

I guess the instructions of a quest are just the tip of the iceberg. The goal of mario was just to go right all the way. The real design was the obstacles in the way.

Well yeah, the quest could have very simple instructions, but the actual map is designed so achieving the goal requires strategic decision making. I guess the hard is making it so the player self selects the difficulty that is the most fun for them.

Which I think is honestly a lot of players' fault. Like yeah if you play an RPG, avoid all the sidequests and just go straight to max level as fast as you can, it's pretty freaking hard for the game designer to make the right guardrails to force you to actually enjoy the game lmao.
