They can drop updates anytime after they made sure to have you accept the spyware.

Have you played Binding of Isaac though? The king of roguelikes

Maybe they should, the genre has potential, just look at Deep Rock Survivor

Thats really not what roguelikes are. They wouldnt be one of the most popular genres ever if the base was laziness. Its more like being able to focus fully on the mechaincs/gameplay instead of spending countless hours designing worlds that either end up feeling repetitive anyway or you need to spend another few chunks of countless hours to make it feel good.

Besides, Hades is by faaaaaar their most successful game, it would be objectively stupid not to keep going with that at least for a while.

Interesting how strongly you are opposing an idea that noone proposed, which you would have known had you taken a look at the petition.

They become pirates if necessary.

Just because you didnt know about it doesnt mean it didnt exist

Noone is disagreeing with your concerns. They are disagreeing with your selfrighteous stance that your problems are the most important.
Using a switch gaming thread for self pity is some major narcissism red flag.

What you meant to say was
Sony: we’ll let the whole world pay for the fascist bullshit the US is pulling <3

Thats not a clown costume

I enjoyed the first 2 games but after seeing a video of those ‘supposedly woke’ ragebait scenes I knew I wont ever want this in my library. I dont know what the purpose behind that stuff is but its disturbing…

That actually sounds wrong. Do they use the same level of graphics or was the first game optimized THAT badly?

Interedting take, I dont really understand the downvotes. Probably gatekeeping, kinda sad.

And it is absolutely terrible as a game. Funny for a quick laugh, but I dont think thats what theyre talking about.

Is this c/upliftingnews?

Sure you could require them to inform the user. It would still require a change in law. I would personally stand against it because what you propose is the bare minimum needed to maintain legal status while maximising corporate comfort and minimizing user experience. It would be a law purely made to help companies exploit users.

Companies shouldnt be allowed to take completely absurd counterproductive (in the greater sense) measures just for the 0.01$ higher profit. If companies would behave like people in maintaining a healthy relationship with the law, this wouldnt be a problem. Fact is, many companies do everything in their power to get as close to the fine line separating immoral from illegal as possible to maximize profit (also more often than not straight illegal but hard to prove).

You know about squatters rights? Its the same phenomenon, except imagine 10% of the population doing it. Im pretty sure the law would change in a heartbeat. Companies have no moral compass, no shame or sense of dignity, thats why they need especially strict and explicit laws keeping them in check.

Also, to your last point: You would not be prevented from buying it. You would simply buy it under user friendly conditions. Noone would stop you from just not playing the game after a year if thats what youre concerned about. I dont see why it would have to be shut down for that.

Not sure what you mean. Companies dont tell you beforehand that they are going to shut games down. They usually dont even know they will, so I dont see how your example holds up here. Maybe you could explain.

This is about companies shutting down games after some time making them unplayable, even for people who already purchased them. Its like if Samsung would remotely lock your TV making you unable to turn it on again because they stopped “supporting” it.

There is simply no way to justify it. Its a symptom of greed, they dont want you to own a product that doesnt generate them revenue anymore.

Interesting how condifently you are talking about the subject even though your comment makes it obvious you have no idea what the petition is about.

Yes of course, Im not trying to invalidate genderneutral pronouns. If someone wishes to be adressed in a certain way replacing the words him/her, sure. But ‘I’ is not a gendered pronoun (at least to my understanding). Its the single universal word used to talk about oneself in the 1st person, isnt it? It is genderneutral already, so why would you feel the need to replace that?
