The ad blocker works well enough for me. I see no reason to switch browsers.
Congrats on the release!
How is lemmy-ui-leptos coming along? Curious to know when it might be ready for primetime.
I didn’t say they deserve no protection at all. You are twisting my words because my opinion doesn’t align with yours.
I advocate for games having a clear indicator for any online dependencies. I do not advocate for outlawing said dependencies or mandating “offline patches”.
If you are clearly told that you’re buying an ephemeral product and you are still surprised when it shuts down, then I don’t know what to tell you.
This basically boils down to “read the terms & conditions”, which isn’t unreasonable.
If a game states in its terms that access may be revoked at any time and you buy the game, then you have no reason to be surprised when access is eventually revoked.
Obviously when terms aren’t clear enough or intentionally obfuscated, that’s indeed an issue for legislation to act upon.
All this wouldn’t be necessary if gamers would just stop buying games that are obviously live services with remote kill switches.
Lemmy users will cancel this for not being hardwired to defederate with Threads :^)
