Lol. All you can do is laugh to keep from crying at this point. We are so far past the point of absurdity that this whole country feels like a fucking fever dream.

I feel like you’re purposefully ignoring everything that’s being said. I understand what you’re saying, but it isn’t applicable in this case. It’s just a PC man. A Linux based PC. There’s nothing mandatory about using steams services on the hardware, nor given the announced architecture, could they enforce such a requirement.
Linux ≠ Android. One is open source, the other is not. And to add, it’s pointless to discuss what might happen on a theoretical piece of hardware multiple generations away. You might as well argue that Windows will go open source in 2035 based on the fact consumers never pay for it for home use.

I couldn’t imagine having that happen. I would leave so fast, but not before telling them what a waste of fucking time this had been.


Homie you’re having a completely different argument than the rest of us. It’s been explained to you like 3 different ways now. Not sure what else to tell you, so yeah. Believe what you want to believe, big dog.
How do you explain piracy being a perfectly viable option to game on this new console? You never need to buy the first game to use this machine effectively.


You’re not seeing the forest for the trees. Just because other game distribution vectors lack market share does not mean there are no alternatives to Steam. People have options, but they overwhelmingly choose Steam based on the quality of their product and service. If others decide to improve those things or a particular game is better priced or contains more content on another service, the consumer is free to choose that distributor.
Market share is completely irrelevant in this case.
If I had known I could make a living just telling blatant falsehoods in an angry way, my life might have turned out a lot differently.
I do enjoy being able to sleep at night, though. So maybe it all worked out for the best.


People complain because the law was poorly written, not because it is a bad idea.


I’m just over it at this point. I’m tired of expecting anyone to stand up to this clown. Either I’m missing a big part of the puzzle or the leverage this guy has on everyone in DC is unprecedented.
I think it’s comes down to the fact that there are far fewer wealthy Dems than Republicans. The Dem “base” doesn’t have any power or influence outside of our voices, which is to say, none.


In other news, scientist confirm wetness of water. More at 11.

I’ve lost all faith in that regard. I hate to think this way, but if the last decade in America has taught me anything, it’s that we have A LOT of fucking morons here. Like, not just “Oh, he’s a little oblivious”… No, I’m talking “He’s a danger to himself and anyone he comes into contact with” kind of stupid.
Either it’s a miracle we’ve come this far riding the backs of the unwashed moronic masses, or there has been a significant falling-off in the past 30 years that no amount of lead-paint could possibly explain.

Honestly, if you buy a fucking appliance with a screen and didn’t expect it to feed you advertisements, it’s totally on you. That’s just dumb.
Don’t get me wrong, fuck the company! I hate the intrusion of ads into every orifice they can squeeze themselves into, but this feels like such a “No fucking duh” moment.

Oh! So you’re the target demographic for all the propaganda. Ok, got it.

I hope he pulls their card. It’s far past* time for them to get called on this shit and see if they can back up the threats.
I agree, but my ratio looks more like 85/15 at best. It’s just unconscionable.
