Sounds like victim blaming.

That's fraud. Blocking ads isn't.

I'm so sick and tired of techies infantilizing the rest of the population. It started with making apps "accessible" but the result is that they've dumbed down an entire generation by limiting them to their locked down mo

Absolutely not. I only watch a handful of videos a month and don't care about their music streaming. $12/month is an absolute ripoff. No way my handful of ad views produces more than $1, MAYBE $2.

I don't know how it works in detail, all I know is that they once again banned players for something completely beneign, all the while pretending that they never make mistakes.

I'm not a murican but I assume that over there it's also legal to drive your car on your property without a license. How can they strip you of that right?

It's not about wanting to cheat, it's about being able to do things such as updating your graphics driver without being branded a cheater and having the things you paid for being taken away

Paid VAC protected games exist, and arguably it's worsewl with counter strike: you pay for cosmetics that become worthless one Valve has decided they do not like what you install on your computer.

That's the same argument as "but think of the children". Are you also fine with CSAM scanning tools being installed everywhere? It's okay to have a bunch of false positives that potentially ruin people just in case you c

No, I don't even play these games competitively. I just care about being able to run what I want on my devices without some company telling me I don't get to do that or else And admittedly their grandstanding of "VAC is alway

"You can play it except for the game modes people actually care about" Do you also think it's okay if a car that you bought prevents you from driving it, but oh don't worry, it's okay because you're still allow

The average user is not capable to agree or disagree with such a requirement. Look at this very post: all they did was enable a feature of their GPU driver. And they got branded a cheater by Valve. Sure, Valve promises to make it right this

Never understood how Valve's VAC bans are even legal. You pay for a game, Valve decides they don't like your computer and they take away your ability to play that and other games that you paid for without refunding you. Worse, the

Besides the fact that apple demands far too much money from developers to "access their platform" they have also failed to deliver cross platform tooling so you need some fiddly Mac machines to be able to even build for their plat
