    I mean … Pikachu face? :)

    So people switch to service based solutions for movies, games, music, … where they own literally nothing because the actual owner is the corporation which sort of ‘rent it’ to them. And then they’re surprised that provided stuff gets demolished by ‘landlord’ because it doesn’t bring enough money to the landlord

      Yeah it’s totally our choice, it’s just that simple. /s

      I remember when I bought half life 2. A hard copy in a store. Then, suddenly, to play it I was required to use some thing called steam. According to you, by playing that game, which I bought normally, I brought this on myself. According to reality I was just trying to play a game. For years I hated and resisted steam and all that did was make playing games harder. I finally gave in and life is honestly much easier because of it. I’m still bitter about being strong armed and the potential for steam to fuck us all over, but I never really had a choice if I wanted to play certain PC games, namely half life 2.

      Hey, I have an idea let’s cancel the old game and market in the new game which is exactly the same as the old game and they have no choice because we deleted old fame.
