This particular streamer is terrible. There are plenty of great ones; dont lump them all together.

That wasn’t the joke. There is no way OP meant it literally.

This is a leap. You can be a good person and also see that people as a whole can be both wonderful and absolutely terrible. This is a story about a mega corp murdering two whistleblowers, so far. In this case, the people involved in making this a headline suck and are terrible.

What are you talking about?

I had my gmail account since the early invite days too! Your final point is valid, there really is no way to tell if sometime down the line a company may change gears and we end up in the same BS we’re in now.

That being said, proton seems to have a good track record so far and unless they get acquired down the line I can’t see them moving so drastically away from their focus on privacy.

Forward gmail to new provider and then use new email from now on. Eventually you’ll want to go in and update your email address for all the other sites you frequent…takes a few hours but you’ll be free.

Did it last year and it was relatively easy.

There is a little flag icon somewhere on the right of the store page. That’s how you report.

You can literally earn all the credits you need to buy out the store just from playing.

Yup exactly, I spelled it wrong tho 😐

Ques are over. Come in the water is warm and full of bug juice.

Rock and Stone!

Why the extra snark? This person is asking a question. Easy to argue that he is trying to learn more about networking, why ostracize?

Cheap tea bags have a weird scent, but anything decent quality isn’t going to taste like paper.

People down voting have no idea what I meant

These kernal level anti-cheats are absurd. Played valorent on launch and had to reinstall windows after I did more research on the “Vanguard.”

Well can’t really do much about this one…adding DRM 10 years later is, as far as I know, unprecedented. They would have got me in this case if I bought the game. Not going to delay a purchase if all other requirements are met on a “what if.”

I simply do not buy games with this type of DRM (Denuvo, etc). Full stop. I know hearing this gets old, but vote with your money.

I have not bought an ubisoft, ea, Activision, or game with DRM in at least a decade; save for a few small exceptions (diablo, wow). Me doing this alone obviously has no impact, however if we all started to do this it would make a dent in the only language these companies communicate in: the bottom line.

At that point they would need to begin weighing profits losses to piracy versus profits lost to DRM.

Yeah fair enough. I’d have to assume folks who spend time making malware want a return on their investment, whether financial or status / fame. Not a big ROI on hacking my gaming desktop or a thinkpad I use to stream movies.

Maybe 4% desktop market share. You are not including Linux market share of servers; this would be a more worthwhile target.

Why was my reply removed…it did not break any rules.
