i actually decided to skim some of this, and it just seems a pretty reasonable take. sure it's not strong on facts and lib asf but i don't hate this. Seems the overarching point is "they see all the hate of the 'tankie triad' as ridiculous, people have different perspectives, and they're tired of cm0002s crusade." Refreshing when compared to the dreck i usually find coming from that space.
you don't get to act like criticism is unexpected or unfair
um, time to step down off your high horse and acknowledge OP made a post talking about game mechanics and you came in too hot on a bear with your "paradox apologia" comment. or i guess you can leave your comment unedited; technically right but also hotheaded, misplaced, wrong.
ey nothing wrong with video posts or asking if theres text to read, your posts are good and yer defensiveness uneccessary. I'm old as shit and there's too many shit vloggers out there wasting too much of people's time for you to dismiss a "text>video" POV as childish.
i commented the other day in a way that could be construed as "defense" of steam so I'll clarify that my point wasn't defending the company, rather pointing out the 'value prospect' of the product, rather than just DRM (which it absolutely is). most of your points are good save the last.
We need to start supporting game developers directly, cut out the parasitic middleman, because sure as shit you're not supporting your favorite games when they take an enormous 30% revenue cut just for their monopoly.
this is the part of your post where we disagree. "wallet power" is a myth dreamed up and spread around by "free-hand o' market" types.
ah hahaha good ol cm0002. i wish i had ⅒ of their energy. i do find myself wondering sometimes what their real life circumstances are; that they can and would dedicate so much energy into making lemmy into reddit when reddit is still right there.
their willful ignorance angers me, but I'm comforted by the idea that they arent happy or smug as they pretend... no way. that boundless energy must stem from a nameless, aching, screaming fear that keeps them up at night... typing them screeds with shaking hands
