I do too, its just not changing the world. I don’t have issues with motion sickness but it is a bit of a chore to wear a quest 2 for more than an hour or so. Still theres a bunch of great games and experiences on there.

Very true, although I don’t think freedom is always a good thing.

Yeah turns out people don’t like wearing things on their head that are heavy, and quite a lot who don’t mind will get motion sickness anyways. Its an interesting creative tool, similar to a 3d printer in my opinion. Oh also beat saber is pretty great but thats like a single game.

Why do you think freedom and decentralization is always good? I don’t think bitcoin improves lives and the majority of people view it as gambling rather than currency. Sometimes its useful to get around local regulations or to pay slightly less in fees that would normally go to a bank. Its just a different western union money transfer and yet people on here are talking about it like it represents freedom and the individual spirit or some nonsense. Its main use is to scam people out of money. Its secondary use is to facilitate purchase of illegal goods. A very small fraction of the whole is people using it as an actual currency.
I’ll put it this way, a small fraction of responsible heroin users does not make heroin as a whole a good thing.

Theres also a chance they love it and you have to deal with them sitting on it everytime you come over!

Fees are predictable. Volatility is not. If you can’t make sure the money you are paid retains its value then the price you are selling something for also is also volatile rather than inert.

I think they didnt say part of their reasoning. Crypto is useful to buy things that are either illegal or not socially acceptable/available in your local area.

The purpose of a system is what it does. Crypto is used to bypass regulations, generally for illegal or immoral things. Its also been used as a ponzi scheme over and over, I guess we call them rug pulls now but its the same bullshit.
Crypto is for gamblers or drug addicts, generally. Sometimes they are both. Sort of reminds me of the mortgage crisis in 2008 with people saying it wasnt the system just people abusing it. The system was built and modified to enable abuse.

The metaverse is for creating, not really for visiting. If you are an artist, creating worlds in 3d in VR might be interesting to you. I wouldnt look at it as a way to make money, more of a hobby tool.

So what’s the positive uses of crypto then? You listed many things that are immensel useful like the wheel, fire, electricity, etc. Do you think crypto fits in that category?

We gave my stepmother-in-law a wine glass that could fit an entire bottle of wine in it, and said “its cause you like wine so much!”. She took it really well.

Cause your use case is the only one that exists, of course.
Companies are reluctant to use this method as theres no telling what will break due to TPM being disabled. Some will still use it as they have no other choice though.

You won’t play cyberpunk cause it released in a poor state? Its a different game now.

You don’t have to accept your job. Stop acting like choice doesnt exist, its an obnoxious way of enabling shitty decisions. You aren’t forced to agree to use slack, and you aren’t forced to play a game. You want to have your cake an eat it too.
Although I’d be shocked if someone who argues the things you are is actively supporting shitty game companies so surely you can see when you choose to do something vs not.

One persons historical piece is another’s bit of oppression, using mount Rushmore is a great example of this. I’m pointing out that I find it impossible to agree on what’s historical as a country when it comes to things like that. I literally never touched dark souls the entire time its been popular, its not historical for me.
Then theres the fact that you can’t really delete anything from the internet. Sure online games can be “disconnected” but even the crew has a private server going live this year. WoW did the same thing and eventually the company started supporting their old games again. Funny thing about that, they didnt have the old code anymore and had to rewrite it.
I would like the same result as you would, I just don’t want laws to force it that way. I think its already changing and its unnecessary to regulate. This might not be the case in this instance but regulations tend to be easier to handle by larger companies as well, and I wouldnt want to unduly stress small development teams. Art should largely be unrestricted.

Well, I knew the crew would be decommissioned and dissapear from day one. I’m not sure why people expected it to live forever. I understand people want to change things to be different, but the norm before was that online games are sunset. Its happened over and over.
And you would base your decision on prior actions of the company. Dont buy ubisoft until they prove they have fixed this problem. You already shouldnt be playing online games hosted by shitty companies, exactly for this reason. Most companies actually don’t fuck their fan base over, and so its not an issue.

I just heard the exact same thing in a Kurgesgagt video, not sure if its true though. They said c section babies have higher rates of infection and asthma too. I found a Smithsonian article about it if you are interested:

Noones forced to agree to anything, thats why its legal. Dont support shitty companies its that simple.
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 1 week ago:
Its just as likely to do either, its all speculation. I still don’t want to force a developer to do anything really. Prohibiting things is a bit different though.
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 1 week ago:
Okay thats fair, I actually didnt know there were video games that old. I wouldnt day all of them should be archived as a rule but if they are available why not.
I don’t know any current publishers that would qualify for the day one protection you mentioned. Can you give an example of something being declared historical nearly immediately though?
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 1 week ago:
Okay, if the crew was released at EOL, it would have cost ubisoft money on sales of the crew 2. I would not expect them to choose to lose money in that situation. It was only later with multiple issues with multiple games that ubisofts market value tanked and they had to assess a new position/direction for the company.
Also, we are talking about video games, not a basic right like food, water, and air.
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 1 week ago:
There are many restaurants, especially the largest fast food chains, who do have you sign an agreement to allow them to do everything you said. And no I don’t eat at those places because I don’t like the practice personally. I don’t buy games if I don’t like the game company or their actions.
But this isn’t about data collection and privacy, its about trying to prevent a game from shutting down because it feels upsetting. I’m sorry but if you are upset about it don’t support the company.
I will agree we need laws around data privacy and collection of course, but thats a different topic.

I don’t know any video game thats been around long enough to be called a historical landmark or whatever terminology.
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 1 week ago:
They should be able to decide whether to open source or not. If people don’t like their decision they shouldnt buy their game.

You think all of the worlds Palestinians are in gaza? Also, you seem to be not as quick smart as you think you are.

Are you really getting hung up on whether 100% of people believe a genocide is happening? You argue the dumbest shit.
