I haven't, because I haven't bought access to Ubisoft junk in years. Last I saw of their financials, I'm not the only one. If you want this behavior to stop, stop consuming media. I sure have cut way down. I cut the cable cord, I barely watch TV, cut all my streaming services except for one. Don't buy many games anymore (mostly because they all suck, are often poorly finished and are often just a damn re-release). I saw my Spotify is going up 5 bucks this morning, it's getting cut this week too.

All this purging, yet my life hasn't changed whatsoever. Almost feels good to get rid of all this crap. They only did it to themselves, so I hope they go have fun chasing people pirating 20 year old software. The crash is imminent.

I don't think it matters in the long run. Make trash products, realize trash results.

Us folks with original model Switch's ain't barely getting two hours either, though.

I honestly just don't fucking care about them. This fediverse thing is the real deal, and it's been kind of peaceful over here avoiding all the toxic shit a regular user of reddit was subjected to. I'm sure it's on its way here shortly, but for now, enjoy the solitude.

The sister is still wedged in the dryer, waiting for someone to come rescue her.

It's friggin sad that most fingers are pointing to either side accusing each other of all sorts of shit, when they should be instead pointed towards about 100 people, and a system. The government is just a distraction, and a subterfuge, while the 1% absolutely raids everything else. Trump vs Biden isn't the thing we should be focused on right now. It's the population vs the Corporate West.

No more little 12 year olds telling me to go f my mother? End of an era, I say. What an era it was, too.

Why does this matter? Do we need to appease the shareholders or something? Do we need endless month over month growth, lest the world completely stops turning?

Do we need SYNERGIES??!!!?

Today I learned because I can't code, I'm useless and lazy.

The fucking people you come across on the internet...smh

It doesn't have time to guide you to piracy, because it's too busy generating wallpapers of Mario and Kirby flying jetliners into the twin towers.

It's a convenience thing. Remember when Apple Music and Spotify used to be $5.99 a few years ago? It was really hard to justify pirating then, for example. Like I'd have to find what I was looking for, close a million pop ups to get the torrent, download it, then upload the files onto whatever device I was using. And I would have to do it over again for the car, and over again for my wife if she asked for it, etc.

Or I could just type it into a search bar, and bam. All for $5.99, and I didn't have to worry about storage? Sign me up.

The convenience of Spotify is still sort of worth the price, but it's getting pretty marginal. The other streaming services we use brought us the same level of convenience, but they are getting way too greedy and creating way too many of them. Netflix and the media streamers turned into Cable. Which is going to inevitably turn us all back to pirating as they start cracking down on password sharing and keep creating new services with bloated fees.

The dumb fuckers literally figured out how to defeat piracy. And then drove us back to piracy with their greed. So when they inevitably start crying about it again, tell them all to eat shit.

I'm already 50% of the time on my ship to the seven seas. Do they want me permanently at sea? Same goes with the media companies like Disney+, Netflix and Amazon. They push it any further, I'm pushing off to seas for good.

They *literally, figured out how to beat piracy. The unbeatable problem. And then they had to go and blow it with their greed.

Meh. Capcom games just became $0 for me, because I'll swear an oath before you to pirate every one of their games, from here on out.
