Neee more micro transactions and loots boxes?

So tired of these corpo parasites opions being injected to my socials feeds.

STFU and make good games, maybe I will start buying them again

They pushed this on us so they can make us buy new video cards every other year.

Do we need cutting-edge tables, cutting-edge water pipes, cutting-edge paintings, cutting-edge windows, cutting-edge power generators even?

That kind of competition really is unhealthy.

If not for this bullshit, we'd have a better choice of personal computer hardware and operating systems. We wouldn't have a lot of what they call enshittification.

What I don't understand is where the wide masses of normies got all this progress-signaling? I first sat behind a PC as a kid, it was DOS, someone showed me how to navigate directories, but I don't remember any specifics. Then Windows 98 at home. Then we got a new PC and there was Windows 2000 on it. I didn't like any Windows after it, but XP was fine.

That was me, like, being 9? I understood a bit more about computers than the average normie since then.

So - why did that me never have this progress-signaling, idea that buying something "cutting-edge" they don't understand somehow makes sense, but the whole crowd of people not knowing what a transistor is would apparently care so much for progress and cutting-edge?

I just don't understand. What do people knowing nothing about certain industry would get from caring about its development?
