No, they claim it is for a good reason to excuse it so they can get away with all the stuff they want later whilst hopefully (from their perspective) making more profit now. It's the thin end of a wedge.

Stop defending corporations for anti-consumer behaviour. You do realise that YOU are a consumer as well, right?

That's exactly what arbitrary is. It's not for a good reason, it's so they can push bullshit later. The limitations were chosen arbitrarily because they're not real limitations, they're entirely imposed by a Microsoft for their own ends. A non-arbitrary limitation is like minimum graphics card requirements for a game - won't run without it. What do you think arbitrary means?

They're not trying to get me to upgrade my OS, they're trying to get me to buy a whole new fucking system for no good reason. Every last one of them can die in a fire.

And that's before we consider that Windows 11 is actually a downgrade.

You're missing the point. The return isn't going to go to tax payers, it's going to go to rich people, so it's not a return, it's just paying rich people who weren't even involved. Enriching the rich like everything else the republicans do.

Yes. Of course. Because that's what will happen, that money will go into improving services for the public rather than being funnelled into a rich pricks pockets. Totally what will happen, no reason to doubt that whatsoever.

America just deports you to el Salvador without due process instead.

Maybe learn about something before you comment on it?

What a manipulative headline. By premium, they mean it won't be free to play, and leaving the fact that they also said it won't be full priced out of the headline makes it clickbait. Fuck that awful website.

[–] Gamoc@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Premium in this context means it'll cost money. Not full priced means it won't be £70.

Single player campaigns are literally the best type of games. Fomo bullshit, constant nagging to buy stuff, and relying on internet dickheads for the experience and hoping they won't just grief or insult everyone the whole time is awful.

Good. There were like six PS5 only games when they released it so I hope it does terribly - if you've bought one, you're an idiot.

"Let's just bleed em even drier" said Sony, careful not to cut its own lip on its vampire fangs.

You sound like a fucking CEO.

"We ruined this whole game from the beginning by making this single player franchise into a live service and changed our mind half way through, so what we have is a poorly written story with bad characterisation, tokenism, generic combat that always feels exactly the same regardless of how you approach a fight and only three skills to equip for the whole damn game. Obviously nobody likes it because nobody cares about dragon age."
