@DerpsClassicOG LMAO. It was funny as hell to watch. They just seem to care more than the next person and are willing to do something about it. Marathon sucks as a game so I get where they are coming from.
@PaulTassi Marathon needs to die. It's just the principle of it. I am not going to support a game that is genuinely not interesting to me just to hope that something more interesting comes along later. They had their chance, they blew it and their studio up themselves.
@BambulabGlobal I hope you understand your github shenanigans has made me decide never to buy your products. Hope that was worth it. I hope Louis has a field day with you personally. Fire whatever airheads were part of that chain, they are not worth what you paid them.
Colorado politicians are smoking methamphetamine for even thinking an OS-based age verification system could work.
If it's local on someones machine it will be damn near impossible to prevent tampering. Beyond the difficulty of forcing it on something like Linux, nerds have historically shown to be incredibly persistent and grumpy when forced to do something they don't like.
For example, I purchased these goofy little toy things for my baby boy called a "Tonies". I was surprised to find there was a "Tonies" hacker community. Basically, any sort of thing nerds don't like, some small niche community pops up to bonk it with a stick.
If in the event an OS-level age verification system appeared, I wholeheartedly believe every nerd on the planet would unite to fight it, tamper with it, break it, reverse engineer it, and make politicians lives miserable.
In summary, it's a "nice idea" for politicians, but it would invoke weaponized autism on an international scale.
@krassenstein Brian, I dont normally agree with you, but the amount of people who this got is appalling to me. Keep up the good fight man, its loosing battle but a worthy one. And yes, we are actually surrounded by truly ignorant people and I those post accelerated my loss of faith in humanity
