This is literally just an ad 💀

Except Microsoft is building up a monopoly on gaming, buying what they can, consolidating its properties so they can then transition to a streaming-only model where nobody owns anything (I know you don't technically "own" the games you buy either but at least you can have them on physical media to keep, back up or sell) and the only way to play anything is to pay a monthly subscription fee and to use only what Microsoft allows you to use (i.e. no more Linux gaming)

That's because at this point Google basically has a monopoly on the web. They're pushing what they want, because they control most of the browser marketshare through not only Chrome but every other browser based on it. That's also the main reason to not use Chromium-based browsers, because it's helping Google strengthen their monopoly.

I'm not interested in their games either, my issue with it is that a lot of people are, and MS is trying their hardest to get a monopoly in the industry and/or turn everything into streaming-only subscription crap

Your dad sounds cool

Counter-point: everyone should block AI shit, fuck the laws

So instead of labeling Western propaganda as well, the solution is obviously to not label any propaganda whatsoever so people can be lied to by both sides?

Our base is under attack

Unit lost

Low power

I thought you were pancakes

That's not what I meant and you're literally wrong lol, incredible games are made every year. My problem with this is that Microsoft is trying to turn gaming into its corporate cloud-only monopoly.

Steam games are obtainable in other ways. Streaming-exclusive ones aren't.

Glad to see that degree from clown college is paying for itself

I don't exclusively mean piracy. You can still buy big budget games on disc, and you can buy most games from any other platform, including GOG and Itch which don't implement DRM. I only care about physical media in the sense that nobody can take it away from you, and DRM-free media achieves the same goal.

Not to mention that piracy isn't theft because you're not taking anything away from anyone, you're making a copy of some files 🤷‍♀️

The notion that piracy is theft is capitalist bullshit designed to manipulate people's emotions by equating a company not making as much profits as they theoretically could have to theft lol

I agree. Nothing should be copyrighted. But everyone should try their hardest to stop "AI" scammers and the surveillance apparatus as a whole

Yeah, and they keep blocking emergency vehicles in intersections and the whole city wants them gone.

They're prototypes using real human cities as proving grounds without the consent of the population.

Please look up the definition of theft lmao

I'm not "delusional" (maybe tone down the ableism btw) because I don't see theft as something universally bad, stealing from companies is good IMO.

But piracy is different because again, you're not taking anything away from anyone, you're making an unauthorized copy of it for yourself.

lol yeah I don't like marketing in any shape but like, I do ask people I trust for recommendations when I need to buy something and that kind of "advertising" I don't really have a problem with

On the other hand when someone posts something like this on social media, even if it's not intended as an ad it's just viral marketing whether the person posting about it knows it or not

Nothing, I meant bitchute lmao, my bad

So what you're saying is that it's a win for everyone except some borderline scammers then?

I did lmao, corrected it now

Lmao imagine typing up paragraphs just to boast about your fucking salary 💀

Do you really like to feel superior to poor people that much with your 10k a month? And then acting surprised that the disgusting poors can't afford to pay a monthly fee for fucking hi-res GIFs or whatever
