- jimmaswell 6y agoIt would be sad if games couldn't have any profiles or chat anymore because of some legal BS.
- monadic2 6y agoI don’t think such a thing even registers with me emotionally. It’s a product, not a person.
- dllthomas 6y agoI... think you interpreted the parent comment as referring to a profile representing the game, and a chat account on other services purporting to be the game itself? I think the parent meant profiles within the game representing players, and chat within the game between human players. If your understanding instead matched mine, I don't understand your comment.
- tqi 6y agoI’m sad that the people like you arrogantly assume they are smarter than other people (including those for whom this is literally their job), and if something doesn’t fall into their narrow concept of “what makes sense” they default to malice or incompetence as the only explanation and deny the possibility that complexity or nuance could exist.
- monadic2 6y agoYou're missing the point—who cares what's right? It's a corporation, not a person. Why feel sad about unfairness rather than focusing on the source of the unfairness—data collection itself, or the regulation that people need to be told and fixing that? There's no need to be sad—and to me, no impulse—if you actually have power in society to change what's wrong.
- tqi 6y agoActually you're missing the point. I'm not sad for a corporation, I'm sad that the tech mentality is still that malice/incompetence are the only possible explanations for things that on the surface don't make sense, and that they (non experts on the subject at hand) clearly know better and would do a better job. This is hubris.
