Y'all signed up for this shit when you bought into digital products. No amount of warning you could make it to your dumb fuck brains. You're also still doing this shit with other services and products. We're all being strategically boxed into a fucking cage you refuse to acknowledge because you want things so much it shuts your brain off.

Yeah, I've tried to warn people about Steam account dependence, but they're somehow super-diehard over those while poking fun at Sony. There isn't even any beneficiary system in place. Each is just a step away from being like the other... Nothing beats owning your own data.

Steam is fine, for now, but will eventually do the same shit once gabr is dead and the business side takes over everything. But that's the trap, make conversation to a digital way of life appealing enough to starve the alternative to death, then tighten the noose.

There has not to my knowledge ever been a mass produced analog console playing analog games.

Deck of cards?

Steam is fine for you maybe, I am incensed to find out they have been engaging in price fixing and driving the price of PC games up and preventing meaningful competition. It is complete bullshit and after seeing Gabe and his underlings lie through their teeth I have zero faith in them.

But they aren't and it's ridiculous you spout propaganda talking points constructed by competitors of steam that can't compete. Of all the monopolistic companies, steam is one that is least shit, and until the government gives a shit about monopolies in general, I'll be grateful for the ones that aren't total assholes, like nvidea and micron and Microsoft and Google and all the rest that are ignored by antitrust rules.

What are you talking about? Go read the court transcripts. It is fucking obvious they are lying when confronted with evidence from their own emails. Why would you insist on carrying water for them!?

I love lemmy. Not even reddit is this toxic.

It's always your fault! Never the precious billion dollar company!

[-] minorkeys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

The will of the consumer masses enable all of this. Make the damned sacrifice and stop giving them your fucking money.

CDs and DVDs are digital. Game cartridges are digital. I am not sure you know what digital means.

Are you sure you even know what digital means!?
