The point is punishing the people who pay money for this sh*t, apparently (and they will, because for everybody who refuses to buy something that comes with malware bundled in there will be at least two screaming "SHUT UP AND TAKE OUR MONEY!")
I thought that on Tumblr, every single character from any popular franchise was bisexual? /halfjoking
Well on the bright side, I'm sure that THIS will be the one that gets developers/publishers to stop spamming the market with so many half-baked Live Service games, and while we're at it, get consumers to stop jumping on The Latest Greatest Live Service, right? laugh/sob
And if you believe a word of that, I've got a bridge to sell you (in the general sense)
I feel like I should be yelling at those damned whippersnappers to get off my lawn, with all their Instagrams and Spotifies and Youtubes
Alas, poor Reddit, I knew them well
Thank goodness for that at least. It can't come soon enough
Never assume that "malice" and "incompetence" are mutually exclusive.
I may occasionally still lurk old.reddit (until that gets the axe anyways), but as far as posting, I'm pretty much done with that, until/unless sp*z fucks off and the rest of management pulls their collective heads out of their collective asses (I'm not holding my breath).
Honestly, being one of the dozen or so people who still prefers to do his internetting with a computer rather than a smartphone, the whole app drama doesn't really bother me one way or another. What DOES bother me is Reddit deciding that they need to force a miserable ad-ridden experience on the people viewing and contributing to their site, plus knowing that if and when this goes through, old.reddit is almost certain to be next on the chopping block. Everything that's happened after that announcement has only reassured me that getting off of Reddit now is the right choice
Unfortunately, I think you just answered your own question with that.
ah shit here we go again.png
Between this bullshit and what seems like every Triple-Eh publisher suddenly developing massive diamond-hard boners for Denuvo (you're welcome), it's almost enough to make me want to go full Console Peasant. almost.
