Replacing csgo with counterstrike 2 so its broken launch could be covered up with a decade of positive reviews for a different game and guaranteeing people won’t be able to play the previous after an indefinite amount of time was pretty scummy, for one.

Valve has done scummy things even recently but the scummy things they’ve done have never personally affected me negatively so I don’t care.

i have it…

I didn’t watch the video. Too busy watching other videos. Sad.

How companies this incompetent became multibillion dollar monopolies is a mystery to me.

How petty would it be to make a fork of it just to rename it to DINE?

I’m sure they spent the last ten years figuring out how to put mtx into gta singleplayer. It wouldn’t be that hard.

I am not paying extra so that Bethesda can push the burden of fixing their 12 year old broken game that I already paid full price for onto random people.

I will be pirating paid mods and you will not change my mind.

No. Every member of a group is part of one giant hivemind. Individuality is a myth.

Also, if you are injesting enough flouride to cause health issues when you brush your teeth, you are brushing horrifically wrong.

Same. Instances are literally just a collection of users and they are the only reason to block one. I think the problem is the lemmy devs are mad everyone wants to block their pet communist instances because of the users there just generally being unpleasant people.

I forgot about that tidbit of v19 not blocking the users.

I think an instance popped up recently where every human user marked thselves as bot accounts.

Through apps before and the feature was added to lemmy v0.19

So they’re just plain lying about it supporting them.

Do people get paid when their posts are gilded now?

Before amazon existed all the companies they killed for their monopoly existed.

They prefer the subtle evils most people won’t notice, like mass surveillance, intentional backdoors, obliterating competition with unethical business practices, rather than the obvious evils of stealing from their userbase.

I wasn’t happy with windows vista’s prformance and wanted to try something different. Didn’t make the switch permanent for a decade because I needed games in my life but I always ran linux on my laptops when I got them.
