John Deere brags about sabotaging competitors & customers on hot mic - they’re PROUD of it!

Corporations would have us all subscribe to the oxygen supply if they could.
Meanwhile, Valve: Here’s how you can rip apart our handheld computer, we don’t recommend it, but it’s yours so who gives a shit?

Also, here’s our distribution platform where you can buy your games but have no physical medium, so if the game gets pulled you could lose access to it even though you won’t get your money back.

Valve might be better, but they are far from perfect.

valve might be better, but are you actually whining about digital distribution? it’s saving gigatons of co2 emissions on physical delivery alone.

PAY ATTENTION: PUTTING 1s AND 0s ON PLASTIC DISKS SO THEY CAN GO TO A STORE AND SIT ON A SHELF FOR MONTHS BEFORE SOMEONE BUYS THEM AND DRIVES THEM HOME IS A MIND NUMBINGLY STUPID WAY TO DISTRIBUTE 1s AND 0s.

You want a physical copy? Kickstart the physical edition. Complaining that valve setup a digital distribution system that actually works is so fucking dumb it makes my brain hurt.

You’re not wrong, but they also don’t make it easy to print those 1’s and 0’s to physical media once you have them.

but are you actually whining about digital distribution?

they are clearly, clearly, clearly, clearly, clearly, not

arguing this is bad faith, ignorance, or naivety
