The poor kid

I've heard some people say it in England but dunno if it's actually common there. Was only a tourist.

The definition of digital rights management is licensing? That does not sound right to me.

A long time before steam the software sector moved to selling licenses only btw.

This is the case in steam already. There are lots of (mainly Indy) games that will start fine without steam.

GOG actually has a relatively good selection of Linux games.

TIL: people hate food that they are not familiar with.

Which is definitely strange. Or maybe I know a lot of strange women. Which is not unlikely now that I think about it. We should all be a little strange tbh

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying.

Edit: And with Microsoft it's even more apparent as there were large proprietary operating systems before Microsoft got big.

Well you are wrong. I am not saying that this situation is fine. I am saying that it is not the individual company that is the main problem but the system that enables them to begin with.

Just dismantling valve is not a long term solution. It's short sighted. Without them there would be others in their footsteps. One needs to change the system to change that. Give companies opportunities and they will exploit them. I actually agree with the above comment that legislation / regulation is a solution to this problem.

That is why I am pissed off that I am called stupid and bootlicker. That is not a good way to discuss things and especially not a good way to get to an understanding.

And yes I do think that there is a high chance other big tech companies would've done worse than valve. Which is not a great endorsement for them to be clear.

Where did I say they are necessary? Where did I say you need a proprietary third party launcher?

What other statements do you want to put in my mouth?

Looking back I really cannot fathom how we watched DVDs and thought the image quality was acceptable. I am way too spoiled by HD and UHD.

What bulk sellers of bluray? Is that a thing?

Yes, Android. Why?

Don't be naïve. As long as greed is enabled in our society this or worse would've always been the outcome. Or do you think other companies would've slept on the opportunity?

Nice strawmen you got there. Where the fuck did you see me defend a billionaire?!

I am just being realistic here. Our current society enables greed and greed would've always led to this situation or worse. We need to change the system fundamentally to change that.

Yea, right. It would've been another platform to capitalize on the internet becoming more available and digital distribution becoming viable.

You mean like a Menu?

Why? I am not living in the us but it's a useful phrase.

That website really is infected with advertisement cancer
