Ok Bud, gold medal mental gymnastics lol

Didn’t bother reading the whole thing huh, about how this can effect people that legally buy used games?

I was basing my stance off the fact that you said the “know your system” philosophy is important, and that we the users should be in control. Which very much could be interpreted as everyone should live by it.

Your mindset is that if you use any pre-built solution it’s always worse? Do you take this approach to the rest of your life? Do you not eat out ever and cook every meal from scratch, that way if you have a reaction you can eliminate ingredients. That way you know exactly what’s going into your body. Yah that seems like a lot of steps for every meal, but with routine it becomes muscle memory and you get efficient. I’m also assuming you build your own cars.

I mean the concept is silly on its face. It’s not a bad option for people, but it is by no means required. And there is no problem with it. Using a pre built solution is fine. Anyone who has ever worked in tech knows the concept of build vs buy. This falls right into that. Using a best on class black box solution or building your own, there are pros and cons to each.

Made my way to CTO and it all started by making WoW mods on my PC in high school. I don’t get that mindset at all. Hell I still program on windows.

Then you got “well actually’d” for it.

The internet is an unforgiving place.

We’ll just tell the pirates that what they’re doing is wrong and they’ll stop right? Right?

I can’t even begin to imagine what the world looks like to you.

Wait, wait, wait, lemme get this right.

Problem: They were low or revenue.

Response: Increase API costs

Problem: API costs are too high

Response: People started scrapping Twitter

Problem: People are scrapping the site

Response: Make users sign in to view tweets

Problem: People have to sign in to see any ads too

Response: Tell companies that if they don’t spend enough on ads they will lose verification.

I mean, what’s next?
