i wonder if an organized boycott of GOG would be feasible, boycotting them until they stop using the slop
i would participate. however, until there is a boycott i still think DRM-free games are a good value proposition
It's conflicting because the commitment to no DRM and the preservation efforts for old games, keeping them running on modern systems, are tremendously valuable in the current consumer-hostile gaming landscape.
you’re right, that’s why i think an organized boycott with a clear demand would be the best, instead of just going around saying "don’t use GOG they use AI"
i want GOG to stop using AI, i don’t want GOG to disappear
Not wanting them to use ai is wanting them to disappear. It's quickly being obvious no company will be able to avoid using ai in some fashion because every tool is having ai shoved into it.
And companies can't make all their own tooling. It's physically impossible.
I’ll fucking do it, if this turns out their new ownership is crapping the bed and selling out I’ll delete my account just like I’m doing with everything else.
No. It wont.
because while there may be the rare people who are willing to speak with their wallet and make a personal sacrifice..
The vast, overwhelming bulk of gamers are myopic little weasels that'll keep shilling out the cash, even while actively crying about the awful things they are supporting, because they are too afraid of missing the next shiny wave to dare make any kind of stand or sacrifice.
Don't know why you got downvoted. This is the sad reality, not just for gaming, but boycotts in general. They rarely work because the majority just doesn't give a shit.
Yeah, but its a little different for gaming/tech stuff.
Cant expect the average person to know about nestle's atrocities, because they arent active in nestle communties online, engaging with other nestle consumers, etc etc.
Gaming/Tech people tend to be more online, more engaged, more like to follow news about the subject, etc. More like to be online criticizing the issues, as well.. and you still end up with shit like this, because like I said, gamers are.. on the whole, self centered self gratifying idiots that, no matter how much they cry about the great injustice of it all, still cant do without their shiny.
