Well that’s definitely a whole other level to the image. Kinda gross, kinda inspiring. I think I hate-love it now.

They are saying one uses imagination and the other doesn’t.

I don’t agree that its possible to make everyone feel personally at risk when speeding.

If people want to be around other people then social accountability is required. Whether you want to call it punishment or not, we have to have ways to signal to each other what we find okay and what we don’t. I dont agree with deceptive setups designed to maximize income for a city, so I do agree with most of what you are saying, I just think ultimately punishment needs to be there for some people.

A camera says nothing about punishment and everything about social accountability. Some people simply need a reminder or are new to an area as well.

The products are made to male the owners Roch not benefit the users.

I didnt say to destroy it, let it have its natural life cycle. Live service games very clearly have a life cycle that ends. You can debate whether companies are deceptive or not, and we should fix that issue if it exists, but preserving art for arts sake is quickly a fools errand and driven by ego. If you don’t see the obvious pitfalls of curating such a collection then you simply feel bad about things dieing.

Things in life don’t last forever, accept that. Some live service games last upwards of 10 years, like the original The Crew did. Some last decades and have multiple snapshots of the games development, like WoW or Runescape. Most offline games are sold with perpetual ownership, so that’s already solved there. Save a copy of it yourself if its so important.

Sure companies should communicate this reality better but that doesnt change the fact that games will die.

Presumably because you want what they can provide you. Its not rocket science my guy.

And then what? Why are we storing these old games. Move on with your lives. Art doesnt last forever, its not supposed to. But you want publishers to put in extra effort to preserve them, and then have governments put in effort to preserve them, apparently forever.

Its funny how its the people playing the games who want them preserved forever rather than the people making the games, isn’t it. The people making them have pointed out multiple problems with this idea, but who cards about them right?

You are assuming it was stable for everyone. It used to be unstable for specific groups, now its unstable for everyone. Fair is fair I guess.

I think its meant to be functional?

I think the majority of people don’t even have tech conversations with their friends and coworkers, they just talk about sports or gambling or whatever else normal people do.
