“It cost a lot, so it absolutely should be allowed!”

Is an even dumber excuse to keep it going.

The onus isn’t on them to cater to everyone. If it can’t be used using Linux, deal with it like a grown up and find something else to do.

But you’re not going to justify DDoS attacking a company because you don’t like that you’re excluded from their product.

These people need to grow the fuck up. The real world doesn’t give a shit about what they think they’re owed- which is nothing by the way.

This shit just makes me hate the arrogance of Linux users that much more.

Oh, and that you all think that downvotes are relevant to a discussion shows your immaturity on the topic. My opinion isn’t popular because it’s nuanced. And everyone within and outside of lemmy know damn well that this platform hates anything that doesn’t paint in the colors of black or white. So… it’s expected to be downvoted. If I posted this anywhere else- it’s be a mature discussion.

All that shit needs to be just down and not revisited again.

If what I want to watch is one a platform that I despise so much that I feel I need to whine about it online- and is a platform that takes advantage of people that create content for it to the point that it makes it to headline news articles-

Then no, I’m going to tell you that I’m not stuck at all. Those that feel they have no choice are.

I have enough strength of conviction to not support such a thing because I’m not weak-minded and addicted to watching videos like they are.

I can very easily walk away from anything I feel is hurtful to others, or just plain shitty. Basically, I just find it easy to not support things I hate.

You’d think this would be a simple and popular way to be- but ironically, if you suggest people stop using a shit platform that hosts things they like, like YouTube- they will turn on you in a second- but if you hate something that offers them nothing in return, like Norton Antivirus well… that’s just fine.

Kids are fucking weird.

Nice theory, but no. Just look at WoW as a perfect example. When it launched in the early 00’s, overland content had a bit of a difficulty curve to it. It was clearly intended to be somewhat challenging overall.

Other MMOs that followed had the same thing. ESO being a perfect example. In many places, and I recall it well- just doing side quests was risky. LoTRO is another good example.

Then over the years, the player base whined and the developers caved in to appease what was and still is called: “the care bears.”

The vocal majority of players that got tired of the grind and the difficulty, and whined their way into changing the overall feel of games to be winnable under the easiest of circumstances, and the last amount of time.

ESO is a soloable joke of a game and WoW is a cartoon. Now, difficult games are a niche novelty.

Apologies, that response was meant for someone else.

Here’s one now!

A lot of games made in the 90’s were difficult. But that’s before entitlement struck the gaming community and the “I need to beat this game in a weekend” turds were dictating how games turned out.
