Thought it’s probably fine after reading the title, but this shit isn’t fine. What the fuck.

These companies might want their platforms to be free from google’s control, but that’s only because they want to have that control for themselves.

Every android skin is an “OS” these days. I wonder how much “it’s own” it would be.

Not the vrm looking things, but the red spots. It looks diseased.

Why did the ai fill the board with pimples?

EU is way too large of a market to “lock out.” Didn’t happen with Apple, for example.

For subscription hell, we’re deeper into it than is healthy, but I don’t expect it to take over because of this. Steam, which is the biggest, most profitable platform out there doesn’t even offer a subscription and shouldn’t be hurt by this. For competitors, trying to suddenly force everyone into a subscription would lose a lot of business.

Edit: Anyway, doing nothing about it is a guaranteed bad outcome.

It’s not supposed to be a finished law at this point. The main take from the initiative is that digital games have a massive issue with anti-consumer practices, and that consumers demand something to be done about it.

Nice going. Maybe EU can beat some sense into digital “ownership”.

I mean, I haven’t seen a “Giga Train” before. Maybe it is the world’s first.

That sounds way worse than your previous story.

Yeah, I wonder why it could be.

Can it be forwarded to a paid number?

Unfortunately YT removed the ability to report spam comments recently. lol

Surely this isn’t true…? That would be so dumb.

I’m guessing these are all just very recent.

Have 2 keyboards, but that just doesn’t do it. But if I somehow manage to get a more isolated home, I’ll fucking do it for real.

That’s amazing, though I’m not sure people living on the other side of my walls would appreciate it.

I ended up watching a playthrough of this in its entirety when it appeared on my feed. It was an experience.

That’s like saying that the second key of a 2-key nuke launch console is an extra attack vector.
