  • Squeeze the existing users for cash.

    The enterprises will just pay it. It’ll be cheaper than a migration for critical servers.

    Corps pull the same gameplay each time:

    1. Buy product
    2. Jack prices to the roof
    3. Kill R&D and enshittify support to minimize cost
    4. Extract profit until other products make a higher profit margin
    5. Shutdown support and repeat with a new product



  • Dude that’s not an Xbox controller, it’s a Logitech third party you’d have fights over your buddies with to not have to use.

    Also, Xbox controllers are not used where people’s lives are at risk. Periscopes, drones, etc. but they’re not using them as primary controls on human manned craft.



  • All that paying does is prove you’ll pay whatever they want. Just like a blackmailer, it’s never enough. They always escalate in their attempts to extract “value”.

    It’s the same damn story, time after time. “Oh, we put a few ads to cover expenses - it’ll be limited, we promise.” 3 months later: “We have a premium plan that hides ads.” Another 3 months: “We now have informational banners on premium for our own content. Since it’s our own, it’s totally not an ad!”

    Then just: “Pay us a monthly rate and get served ads.”

    It’s like fucking clockwork with these ghouls.
