It’s not supposed to be a finished law at this point. The main take from the initiative is that digital games have a massive issue with anti-consumer practices, and that consumers demand something to be done about it.
How would this exactly backfire in your view?
Nice going. Maybe EU can beat some sense into digital “ownership”.
That sounds way worse than your previous story.
Yeah, I wonder why it could be.
I think the name has been there longer than threads(.)net. But yeah, at this point it’s too easy to confuse if one doesn’t know about it already.
Time to start max payne
Hi, I’m a Finn. We also have a variation of this.
Ronald’s Universal Number Kounter sounds like someone did it on purpose.
That’s a good jest
I’m guessing these are all just very recent.
never said it was hacking but he DID say that hacking is a federal crime.
He didn’t threaten them directly. The parent asked and he could have just said no. But instead he starts talking about “federal crimes.” If that’s irrelevant, why even bring that up? That sounds like intentional misleading to me.
“do I not seem approachable” stance on investigating sexual harassment
The guy sounds real pleasant, but that was about leaking and not harassment.
Wouldn’t it be disingenuous to not answer truthfully (at the caveat that it was actually the truth)?
Well there’s the problem. Doesn’t seem that the kid did anything illegal, so the federal crime implication was a very disingenuous scare tactic.
Most of these I’m perfectly fine with, leakers get banned, but what was that pokemon kid? The kid pulled a texture out of a public release and this guy goes threatening the parents for “federal crimes.” What the shit?
I live dangerously.
There’s no real reason to do it that way, but it’s just kinda fun.
Oh, that’s cool.
If it can’t be found online, could start poking with a multimeter.
Especially annoying with syntax highlighting.
Nice bonus :D
Looks like it’s the same dock I was imagining the whole time. A couple years ago I randomly got a chance to play around with an old ipad (2?) and a midi keyboard. Didn’t encounter this bug.
For sure, but regardless of that.
EU is way too large of a market to “lock out.” Didn’t happen with Apple, for example.
For subscription hell, we’re deeper into it than is healthy, but I don’t expect it to take over because of this. Steam, which is the biggest, most profitable platform out there doesn’t even offer a subscription and shouldn’t be hurt by this. For competitors, trying to suddenly force everyone into a subscription would lose a lot of business.
Edit: Anyway, doing nothing about it is a guaranteed bad outcome.
