"It's simple numbers. Big companies pay like two percent tax, while you and me, we pay like fifty. It's the tax code that makes sure big bureaucracy gets bigger and people have no power."

"350 million unplayable games is not my idea of the land of the free"

[@TaRAAASHBAGS]

In 1999, 100% of video games were owned to keep by their consumers. Now in 2024, it's about 2%. With EULAs this can be down imperceptibly over time. THAT'S terror. Total Ross Victory.

[@necromech_]

tbf gacha games are probably alot of those, and those aren't good enough to be preserved. the statistic is still insane and disgusting though.

[@quaker2636]

​@@necromech_it's a Deus Ex quote rephrased, not actual statistics lol

[@necromech_]

⁠@@quaker2636i know its a Deus Ex quote, but I assume those statistics didn't just pop out of thin air-

[@ProfesserLuigi]

​@@necromech_I think that stat did, actually. It's undeniable that the percentage of real game ownership is down since 1994 though since it's only in recent times companies even could enforce this licensing rubbish.

The stat is part of the Deus Ex quote

wat game is that

[@justheretowatchvids3468]

@@Nomad-bl4yw i *believe* they're referring to The Crew (2014), in which Ubisoft shut down the servers on march 31st 2024, rendering the game completely unplayable for those who bought the game (and those said people didn't get any refunds, either)

Thor is seething right now

[@dsagent]

I never pick the Tracer Tong ending cause Steam would also shut down. The horror.....the horror.

[@tohopes]

when JC pick the Helios ending he receive all the source code of HL3 into his brain.

[@KnoxCarbon]

We can all agree the Illuminati ending is objectively the shittiest choice, right?

[@Rainbro359]

​@@KnoxCarbonhey, I think there's an argument to be mad for choosing the status quo over hoping that putting a crazy AI in your brain doesn't go badly. We know with hindsight that JC is still there but at that point, all he has is Helios saying "yes, step into this weird machine and let me inside your head, we'll be so good together trust me bro"

[@petergriscom3431]

I don't want to dilute their message or anything, I admire that they're going after the whole "paying customers should own nothing and be happy" mentality that big corporations and their shareholders have, but it does feel to me like there's a lot more problems in addition to that right now that's killing videogames as a hobby.

[@Rainbro359]

This is single-issue and going for the bare minimum. Can't solve everything all at once, but this would be an extremely good start.

[@mokibomo]

You're so real for this. Reading the comments is just a bonus

[@erikahuxley]

Not a loss for me, Ubisoft has always sucked. I do not play or give these publishers my money.
