So then why aren't those activists going after Instagram, TicTok, X/Twitter, etc. you know, the OG spyware, brain rot and anxiety inducing companies, because that would actually benefit society and not too many people would mourn their loss.
Why are they instead going after a dozen random horny video games nobody heard of? Oh that's right, because those random game devs don't have the power to fight back in court, unlike Meta/X, so it's an easy win for them to collect brownie points, for performative nonsense.
- pbhjpbhj 1y agoIt sounds more strategic than performative. Surely if they can set precedents against weaker opponents then they stand more chance against stronger opponents. Though Steam is not weak. But small-time game devs probably don't care to fight unless they're making bank.
