I think you're putting words in their mouth with that view. That's not what was said at all.

I read his post as "as shitty as this is, it's not likely to break out into a full scale war we'll get pulled into". It's not about it being morally okay, or at least I didn't take it that way.

It doesn't really matter if people stick around to play a single game, they'll almost certainly explore other games and stick around for the service. That's the idea I think they're going for.

I'd be curious to see how many CoD players stuck around.

Game pass is a big success for them as far as anyone can tell.

There's no cad somewhere on this planet with good UX.

You have described all of the guidelines that NIST, Microsoft, GCHQ and a few other institutions now recommend for password security.

And yet I still have to have this argument with so-called security engineers and my favourite, compliance officers.

I'm in the UK, they force you to turn right.

As much as I love to rag on the rich, this isn't a useful way of thinking. Plenty of poor people have had to have pay cuts or be forced to pay more and need to find some way to manage that to survive - so it'd be really easy to claim they could afford it after all and thus the logic of "if they can afford it they were paid too much" could apply to anyone.

Make sure your ublock lists are up to date, sometimes the extension gets a bit stuck and needs a nudge to update them.

It's an arms race and Google hasn't won it yet.

... But he did run and he did win?

I think it'll be somewhere in the middle. Quite a few people have not had to deal with ads in streaming for many years now, if it's suddenly forced it'll piss off a lot

I don't think they're all going to suddenly pirate again, I think many will just switch to other streaming providers.

If they all start doing the shitty ads, we're fucked.

I'm getting paid. Not with money, but pure schadenfreude.
