  Almost everything on my store page is AAA or liveservice trash.

  Very little on my Steam page is. This is just one data point but still it suggests their suggestion algorithm somewhat works for this.

  Just an observation on that specific thing not a disagreement with the problem. Live service is trash and needs to go away if it’s not an exclusively multiplayer game.

  I’m just throwing shade for fun.

  Feels like the right choice for a shitposting community!

  Are ps5’s not useful?

  I haven’t bothered with the last generation of consoles, but I haven’t heard anything bad about them.

  But maybe my “haven’t bothered” comment is a common sentiment and the answer to my own question?

  Speaking as an aethist, can confirm.

  One at random that I enjoyed that I don’t think is well known is “God Bless America (2012)”.

  The title might be misleading, so I’ll say that it is not a religious or patriotic film.

  Apology not needed.

  I agree with you. The ozone layer is a great example of this being successful. And there are other examples of this kind of issue elsewhere. Like the we have to push for user repair rights or against planned obsolescence (which one could argue this is planned obsolescence, in thinking about it).

  A small number of informed users won’t disincentiveize companies from abusing the masses. Because most companies are garbage so of course they will if they can. And regulations are the solution. I’m not suggesting we ignore that. But those of us who are informed can still incentiveize those companies that do treat their customers well in the interim.

  I concede to the point though. I said, in effect, that supporting businesses that treat us well will help. But I suppose it’s more accurate to say that will, at best, stop things from getting worse.

  Setting legal precidents and regulating the industry are musts to curb this behavior. But we also have power as consumers. The ol’ “vote with money” if you will. There are too many uninformed consumers for this to have a huge impact, but keeping our money away from bad publishers and giving it to good ones will help.
