@A_dmg04 The new stasis shatter grenade doesn’t work with Rime Coat Rainment, no shards no enhancement. Is that by design because it’s an offensive grenade?
1.3 MILLION PEOPLE ASKED THE EU TO STOP COMPANIES FROM DELETING GAMES THEY PAID FOR.
THE ANSWER WAS NO.
The "Stop Killing Games" initiative wanted one thing: when publishers pull the plug, don't let them remotely destroy copies people already bought.
The European Commission's official response:
- It will not require publishers to keep games playable - says forcing them would go too far
- Reason given: publishers' copyright and IP rights come first. Your purchase comes second.
- The solution: a voluntary code of conduct, developed together with the same industry that kills games
- Plus an awareness campaign reminding you of the consumer rights you supposedly already have
1.3 million signatures. Years of work. Multiple hearings.
And the part that says everything: according to the campaign, Ubisoft got a seat at a closed-door meeting with the Commission before the decision. The 1.3 million people who signed did not.
Publishers can still brick your purchase whenever they feel like it.
If buying still isn't owning, then at least now it's official.
Imagine if McDonald's cancelled the Big Mac and then told you that you had to eat nothing but Filet-O-Fish for a year if you wanted it back.
Same energy.
⛔️FBI agents have to retire at 57
Air traffic controllers at 56
Pilots at 65‼️
⛔️But somehow demented 70 and 80 year olds running the country is totally fine. Make it make sense.‼️
This is fucking crazy.
Dystopian as hell, asking for government ID or biometric data to use a PlayStation that you paid for and there’s people in the replies really acting like this is okay.
People have really been conditioned to just not care about their privacy I guess, or that they don’t own the things they pay for.
And no, if you think Sony deletes any of this data you’re out of your mind.
@PokemonGoApp Hard not to think they are actively trying to torpedo their own game with every change they make. Actively ignoring user feedback on known issues and instead adding half baked UI changes and poorly implemented “Improvements” in general. Where’s the logic.
The "incident" you are now, for the first time, claiming was the basis of the decision did not affect the gameplay at all, yet decided the whole tournament. Section 2.1 requires a "clear explanation of any infraction and its penalty" and I was never given this as the basis at all
the ability to charge all of my devices with the same charger and borrow almost anyone’s charging cable at any time is worth this 10 billion times over
thank you EU!
Steam’s biggest advantage is not being a public company.
If they were, shareholders would demand they make the same idiotic policies that would destroy their company.
@PokemonGOHubNet Could be a “quick win” way for them to introduce a subscription model to get people used to the idea, if anything is gonna sell it’s a built in auto catcher. No Bluetooth, no additional device to carry/charge. Plus they can add and remove features as they like, maybe as add-ons..
