  • Literally nobody is advocating for the release of source code. Read the damn petition.

    This is very specifically about making sure when you drop support for a product you sold, that it is still usable. Every live service game has testing server files that can be released. Even if those files are a retail product, that’s better than what these people are doing. There is not a single good reason games should be left unplayable after the publisher decides it is no longer profitable to maintain it. Servers do not have to run on the publisher’s dime and there is no longer an expectation for things like anticheat to function once the product reaches the end of expected support. Hundreds of thousands of games have been released and had their support end without taking the playability of the game away from the customer.






  • People had the same argument about 4K from 2K and the same argument about frame rates higher than 60fps. But, the bigger counter to that argument is that even if that were true, additional features take up additional bandwidth and the true power of these new connector standards is in the additional bandwidth. Things like 4K HDR at very high refresh rates and additional features like 3D and VRR can have signal room on the same cable enabling the creation of displays that can do more at once than they could before. Also there are high pixel density displays and projectors that can make use of 8K and 16K footage. It’s niche for now but the technology advancing is not a bad thing.







  • It’s not as simple as leaving the country. Not everyone has a passport here. And the vast majority of Americans cannot afford to up end their lives and skip town let alone move to another country entirely. Then it comes to which country to move to. Most countries have requirements for visa entry. If you intend on staying permanently, you have to meet even stricter requirements like higher education, and even then, they won’t permit your visa if you aren’t in a field that would do good for their country. Some places may have a program similar to America’s H1B visa where you can get a job and work in that job to stay in the country but then your livelihood is at the mercy of a stranger in a foreign land letting you keep your job until you can convince the government to give you citizenship. You don’t just move to another country. And anyone who can just move to another country is exceedingly privileged.


  • If you haven’t shot a fascist yet, you’re one of the Germans that let Nazis happen. Stop calling for other people to fight, you fucking cowards. Go fight for yourselves.

    Also:

    I’m American and will not be flying across the country to throw my life away.

    I’m just pointing out what you literally said in your initial comment. You said everyone who doesn’t fight but is calling for violence is letting the Nazi’s happen. Then you proceeded to say you are also not going to fight them… Also you said you weren’t going to use insults and then proceeded to throw the word coward in there without knowing anything about me. You don’t get to be a hypocrite and then be upset when your hypocrisy is pointed out. I’m not saying you should go fight, you clearly have your reasons not to, but you yourself just said that you can’t call for violence while not fighting.
