I'm a lot of things, but not a Velociraptor

    As you do...

  • When you add cynism, it gets better.

  • I hate that this doesn't sound as astoundingly stupid as it should thanks to the current state of affairs.

  • The issue is not physical yes/physical no. The issue is that if a company decides to take a game you bought from you, they can do it.

    What we should be legislating is a law so if a company delists and removes from your account a game, they should refund you the price you paid.

  • Yeah, but I meant something like actually trading. Not just sharing in the family group. Imagine I have a game I've completed, I don't want it anymore and you want to play it. We're not in the same family group, so I offer you to trade it for a game of your library, or maybe we make a deal and you pay me some money for it so you are in a way, purchasing it second-hand from me.

  • It is now the moment for Valve to announce that they have come up with a way to let you sell/exchange games between users on Steam. They do this and they eat the whole market.

  • Triple if you consider that they will most certainly launch a disc edition sooner or later for consoles.

  • Yeah no. If my boss comes to tell me that from now on my "productivity" will be measured in token usage rather than actual "production", you can bet I will use agents for every fucking thing. Hell, I'll even make a desktop clock that works by asking the IA what time is it every milisecond and then updating the time on screen every time. I'm gonna burn tokens till you regret it.

    If after this happens, the rules of billing change and my boss starts getting charged per token usage instead of a flat charge per month, that's not my problem; until my productivity stops being measured in token usage, you are gonna pay dumb money for your dumbness.

  • I just imagined your order made by a roughly 5x5x30cm french fry with a bucket of mini Big Macs and... I would try that, you know?

  • As an adopted Italian I am authorized to curse you with never again finding crispy lettuce inside your hamburger for the crime of trying to order pineapple pizza.

  • Yeah, they did it yesterday: they basically told us that next xbox won't have an optical drive so they are looking for ways of digitizing your physical "for your convenience":

  • I think it's "proconsumer" because the alternatives are so awfully anticonsummer that you see them as the desired alternative.

    I mean, if someone comes and tells you: hey, you have two options, I shoot you with a revolver in your head 5 times... or I kick you in the balls once.

    Sure, the kick in the balls sounds awful, but if your only alternative is getting shot 5 times in your head with a revolver...

    And right now, this is the videogames market.

  • I suppose they mean that they do "nothing" because they are not figthing their opponents in the market. Valve's opponents just keep shooting themselves in their feet.

    Valve does a lot, but one of the reasons (maybe the main reason) they are so successful is that the others are all trying a speedrun to the bottom.

  • Uh... those are two different fruits. If you are going to compare packing to measure shrinkflation, shouldn't you be using the same product?

  • I mean... I wouldn't say that the 3€ I pay for my torbox monthly are so much money as to be considered a luxury but I guess not everyone can afford that much for a sub...

  • So, as I said, a special kind of moron.

  • If you wanted one so badly, you probably got into the prenotation lottery. In the case you couldn't get one, you were put in the prenotation queue meaning that you'll be probably in for the next wave that shouldn't take too long to happen.

    So who are they selling these to? These scalpers are not the sharpest tools of the shed. But buying one at that price is not much better. You must be a special kind of moron to buy that.

  • Nothing, this user is one of those that must be fun at parties. Most people here won't make a problem out of your preferences/sexuality/lifestyle unless it's illegal and, as far as we know, furries are not doing anything illegal so they exist here with the rest of us humans.

  • No, no. It's dumber:

    The library is still open, you can freely enter. But now they've put "a guy" in the library to whom you can pay money and they will answer your question with the stuff they "more or less remember".

  • Who is shifting blame here? I'm just saying that they are part of the hell, not victims. Meta is rotten to the core, and if you work there, it means you are ok with what they do, hence the lack of sympathy.
