How is banning Denuvo working?
it isn't, that's my point.
LOL no that's MY point. Neither of them are working because no one is doing either of them.
people are definetly "voting with their wallets", myself included
as always with stuff like that, only a minority cares, so a solution must be workable by a minority who does.
so if the solution for the problem is "if only people just..." then it's not effective.
No they aren't. If they were, it would be working.
they are, that's precisely my point.
it's just that it doesn't work and expecting it to is a waste of time.
we'd need another strategy.
They aren't. That's precisely my point.
they are. that's just how ineffective it is.
It is 100% effective. The fact that it's not working indicates that they're not doing it. They're not going to keep doing this without a viable path to profitability.
we need a new strategy to fix this sort of thing, my dude.
Indeed. What would you suggest?
if i had that answer you'd probably be seeing me as some kind of leadership on it.
though legislative pressure is a good place to start, my country is currently in the process of banning lootbox type stuff, and some of the data collection in games.
not perfect but definitely a step up from the free market "the consumers decide" crap that isn't actually yielding any results.
😂 In what way? Getting govts to crack down on it hasn't solved anything either. If you're ever able to actually get anything passed, the companies just play this stupid game of malicious compliance and then the govts call it a day and move on.
The "free market crap" doesn't work if enough people don't pitch in. Look how quickly we solved the Jimmy Kimmel situation by voting with our wallets. Less than a week. Can you even fathom a govt that efficient?
You seem to be presenting a false dichotomy. You don't have to choose. You can do both. But voting with your wallet is the fastest, most effective, and most permanent, when actually implemented.
i just exemplified a small win to you that happened close to me.
And then right after that I explain how that solved nothing because they just poked holes in the legislation.
not in ours.
