If they do outlaw it will likely be banned solely for non-business use for this reason alone.

Some tastes can be poor

Some can be influenced as well.

The wonders of marketing making people believe that RGB vomit is desirable.

The only LED i care about is white.

Wild to me how people can look at companies like activision that a notorious for being extremely greedy driven and then act surprised when they find a new way to be greedy.

What do these people expect when they constantly legitimise these tactics by throwing money at these games and their MTX?

The solution? Quit buying the fucking games.

They only used UE5 for the graphical component. The rest is still the original engine.

A bit like the halo master collection.

I can’t imagine that to be all that comfortable given how thin those controllers look.

Seems like a bit of an ergonomic nightmare

Pitchford allegedly left an unsecured USB drive in a Dallas, Texas restaurant called The Medieval Times. The USB drive contained details about Gearbox plans and a number of its corporate partners, including Take-Two Interactive, 2K Games, Sega, Microsoft, Sony. It also allegedly contained “Pitchford’s personal collection of ‘underage’ porn.”

The Grease Homunculus once left a flash drive behind at a restaurant that allegedly contained CSAM.

The owners are still supporting Tesla regardless of if their money is going to them directly or not. Money wouldn’t be going to Tesla if it weren’t for people buying them. It’s not just the money though, having more Tesla’s on the road drives attention to them. Makes them more desirable because of the “Well everyone is getting one” effect. That sort of thing.

There’s more than just money when it comes to supporting something.

Fuck the Tesla owners feelings. Make that shit as radioactive as possible so no one wants anything to do with Teslas. If people get upset over it then oh well.

I’m pretty sure these protests are dissuading potential buyers though. If people are willing to kick up this much of a stink then surely there’s something wrong. A protest is how you really get the message out because you can’t really ignore something like what’s been going on. It’s right in your face.

The only people that aren’t going to be dissuaded are people that wouldn’t be dissuaded anyway (A lost cause if you will) protest or a shitty Infograph that can easily be ignored or glossed over.

I am aware if how many complete wankers there are out there that go unnoticed. You can’t help supporting them since they’re good at hiding their BS.

But the difference is that Elon is a known wanker therefore you can avoid supporting him but not buying into his shit. It’s not like he’s selling something you can’t get elsewhere.

It’s still supporting a complete wanker regardless of what you had in mind.

The way you downplay it sounds a lot like you’re trying to make it out as if it’s not an issue.

Games taking up resources doesn’t change anything I said either. Funnily enough though the same thing applies to games, users shouldn’t have to put up with games that take up unnecessary resources either. Just like they shouldn’t have to deal with bloatware launchers that take up unnecessary resources and throw more hoops to jump through.

Not really sure why you’re defending something that’s worse for you. What’s in it for you that you’d rather defend unnecessary launchers over not having to deal with them?

It doesn’t stop being an issue just because you can brush it under the rug and ignore it.

The point is that the user shouldn’t have to work around these extra launchers. How about companies just stop pushing their own bloatware. If you buy a game through Steam, it should just require Steam. Same for GOG and all the others.

Why speculate when you can go and see for yourself what his content is like?
