Well, "schmettern" (verb) literally means to smash or to belt something. "Schmetterling" comes from the old Slavic "Schmetten", meaning cream (the one you skim off milk), but it sounds more like it comes from "schmettern", which is a word still in use.
What? Maybe I don't understand your phrasing correctly. Do you mean you DO trust the official statement? No shame in that, if that's what you want to say. Or do you want to say that you only trust the official statement if it's the first thing you hear about something? Then it gets confusing and I don't think you mean that.
Concerns and guesses about a persons intentions are indeed valid. I'd rather not let people punch me to learn their intentions, I'd rather keep my distance regardless of an innocent face. Metaphorically speaking. Thanks to goodeye8 I read more about the company and their stances and now think it's valid what they say. I will still be distrusting of companies, but maybe I'll do more research before commenting. Maybe.
Also, my guess always has precedence over anything other people state. I rather trust my eye rather than someone else's. Again, metaphor. But my guess can be (...steered? Guided? Influenced?) when given more proof from different sources.
The underlying fallacy might be the same, but the target is not. That makes a huge difference. Especially with the power discrepancy corporations (the big ones at least, and most others too) have compared to singular humans.
Your point with the DRM is valid, but I could just replace it in this argument with more aggressive anti-cheat. Still, it's a good point.
I didn't know that for Beacon Interactive. Maybe I did stumble on the other one. For me, this wasn't even on the second page of results. My search was indeed inadequate. I blame filter bubbles. And a very stupid naming similarity. Good that you found this though.
I do see Saber (and Beacon) in a better light now, my overall attitude to corporations however won't change. Maybe I'll do more research before commenting. Maybe.
No idea what you want to say in the first paragraph. I understand that you think it's toxic to have a different opinion? Pretty sure that's not what you meant.
There is a big difference between corporations and people. Bigotry against people cannot compare to bigotry against corporations. And then there's a difference from that to an industry. Most notably there's something called "industry standard" which (most often) the market leader sets and the competition copies in an attempt to catch up. To resist this means to potentialy lose money, something only few companies want or tolerate.
I can recommend searching for Cory Doctorow's idea of "Enshittification" to get an understanding why companies might use costumer favourable policies at their beginning which they revoke in favor of more money later. It's what made Amazon big, or Facebook. I'm sure you won't, but there might be readers of this dialogue that might be interested.
No, I don't know Saber's internal politics toward this, and no, I don't share your chipper attitude towards their intentions.
I do recognize they were nice to their customers, which is a good thing. But they were recently acquired by Beacon Interactive which doesn't even have a wikipedia page. The future remains unclear. I don't know where their path will take them, neither do you. You trust them at your own risk.
It is incredibly toxic, do you think that I do that? Over a "Why the over specific denial"? Seems a bit harsh. Are normal people that harsh?
It's a lived example of the "one bad apple spoils the bunch". There are quite a few bad apples in the publisher space, some on the developer side. Do normal people just not recognize patterns in an industry? Are normal people apathetic about how an industry treats them?
Yeah, it's hard to get to know people that are running around. But you can sit by the workshops or the representatives of some clubs and talk to them.
Helping out and being an "angel" always helps. Haven't done that myself, so I can't say how social this is.
Yes, the part the writer made up. Either they share the concerns that we see a repeat of the Helldivers 2 fun, or they reacted to an article earlier with that wording. Doesn't matter, as I cannot see the future, I have to guess. I communicated that guess.
You seem awfully aggressive to people that don't share your view and dare to step into your line of sight. Do you always trust the official statements?
That sounds like something I can see them do. Engage the haters (me, when talking about denuvo) with the bright minded people that weren't tricked often enough, for more publicity.
Am on the edge for the remarkable, but the pine note would be a definite buy. But I do know that the pine devices most often are tinkering devices. Don't know if that is the case for the pine note, just saying.
I'm sharing my distrust in the communication to the players based on shit that happened in the past. But thanks for the personal attack disguised as concern.
