Comment Re:The disk is irrelevant... (Score 1) 43

Every one of my steam games has new content added every month, though.

If all you do is say the parts that support your argument and ignore everything that works against your argument, you're just a sack of hot air. Nobody is going to agree with you except people who already agree with you.

And frankly, if you're not willing to keep paying for new content in a game... just play old games. You don't need anything new, you're happy repeating the same content over and over, and there's already a million games that you can buy and own.

Comment Re:No physical discs, no need for a physical conso (Score 1) 43

The entire point of gaming consoles is that we can stick a game in, turn it on, and we're more-or-less instantly in the game. Absent that fundamental benefit, why exactly would anyone want yet another locked down computing appliance in their house?

This is an example of "overthinking," also known as "underthinking" or "over-concluding."

Aka, a complete lack of critical thinking. You start with a claim, "the entire point... blah blah blah." Ok. Right there, at the start, you're already guaranteed to be saying something stupid. Preventable stupidity. Instead of a laughably-wrong statement of absolute fact, an intellectually honest person would start with an idea. "Is the reason people buy that _____?" Because you know you don't know. That much, we all know! When you make the assertion, you didn't do extensive market research to discover that. And even just a web search, "Why buy a game console?" would get you a whole slew of other reasons. And if you dug into it more, you'd find out that a game console generally has better graphics than a just a graphics card of the same price. It has nothing to do with being instantly-on. And... they're not instantly on. Even loading a game from internal storage that isn't true, but from a disk? Are you high? Or just stupid.

The real truth is that getting rid of physical disks when on your "trigger list," and when you saw the words you spewed a bunch of stupid shit just assuming that anything you say will be True and Just because fighting for disks makes you a Soldier of Good or some shit. Just shave your fucking neck, jeeze. Stop white knighting to protect the helpless disk.

Not even 0.01% of gamers want to be stuck with whatever made it past the line on release day, without any patches or updates. Not only has the market accepted subscriptions for games, the market demands the content updates that come with having and maintaining that subscription stream.

Ayn Rand commenting on Capitalism is exactly what the right rails against; she was an art student who never got an education in business, and 100% of the businesses she was involved in during her life were flops.

We The Living and The Fountainhead were masterpieces, but that's because her focus was not yet on trying to champion right wing politics.

Her later works that the righties like to point to are complete trash. And everything is through the lens of the Russian Revolution, where the enemy is "collectivism," but she never managed to acquire any sense of the difference between productive cooperation and communist autocrats. For example, the bad guys she came up with for Atlas Shrugged were not the hippies she wanted to fight against, but smarmy corporatists. She didn't know enough about that the business world even to differentiate those. And her Great [Right] Hope had to resort to literal economic terrorism to force their way on the business world, and was rewarded with handouts from the other righties. Which she writes off as having been "earned" because the people felt he was deserving. Though she rejects "altruism" as an acceptable motivation for action or reward. And yet in her own power fantasy novel she couldn't avoid resorting to altruism in order to explain why the protagonist was good, or to reward them sufficiently that they hadn't make any selfless sacrifice. A bunch of drivel.

If she either hadn't been political, or else had learned something about the various political and economic systems, she could have written a whole bunch of masterworks.

No, you're missing the point. A sales "consultant" doesn't make the sale, doesn't get a commission, and isn't winning points towards an company sales vacation.

You're actually trying to convince us you were a real "consultant" and you're not smart enough to understand job titles? They not only befuddle you, you're so befuddled you can't even tell you didn't understand? You're one of those people who is so stupid they think anything they don't understand is wrong?

So you weren't actually a consultant at all, you were an employee at a consulting firm, right? Who had "consultant" in their job title so it looks good to the customer?

"Putting in the fear," so you're saying you believe the intent was to create a hostile workplace, and you're defending it anyway?

You're a piece of shit. How about this, I'll break your nose with a pie plate, and then your snowflake can melt.

Imagine being such a horrible person that your power fantasies feel threatened by this story.

You thought the cream pie floated gently through the air, but if you'd had a second braincell you'd have realized it's in a metal (or worse) pie dish. Also no public information released by any party to the lawsuit claims it was thrown. 100% of the currently submitted evidence is that it was smashed into the victim's face, where the force of the hand is also transferred via the metal dish. (That is the standard way that pies are smashed into faces.)

We don't have any information about if anybody else thought it was worth suing over, and seeing this in the news perhaps more will step forwards.
