Capcom has implemented your product on their back catalogue of games and it's causing performance drops, crashes and has broken many popular mods people use to make these games run better.

The PC community is very angry and has noticed the implementation of your product. It is being mentioned in a ton of negative steam reviews.

You should be aware that there is likely a huge negative PR storm coming your way and possibly offer Capcom advice on how to implement your product properly as you've angered a lot of people. It wouldn't surprise me if big PC YouTubers like Digital Foundry pick up on the issue and make their many subscribers aware.

Curious, what action do you need from us? And why do you blame us that someone use our software? Someone use, we do not push to use it. What is our guilt you think?

And why are you so sure that all that you reported belongs to our software?

Maybe you are so angered because you can't use the cheats anymore?

Best reply is always be a dick. Fuck corporations that act like this

Edit: it seems like the thread is deleted now.

Now do paint. Or even more useless: calculator.

No need to "fix" notepad. It does what it has to. If you're a power user, you can download something else. But I'll bet it won't have Ai in it.

Life's all downtime when you look at it.

I swear I'm not refreshing lemmy every chance i get...

Sounds like it wouldn't be a bad thing archiving it somehow. A lemmy archive of sorts. For preservation. Not saying my instance has a lot of value, but linux questions, fixes for games etc on the lemmyverse as a whole. It could be text only, so it doesn't have to take up an exorbitant amount of storage.

Federation is a double edged sword imo. The data might be valuable to some in the future, like reddit is if you have a problem, there often is a thread about it. But being that most servers are self-hosted, the data can dissappear more easily than a big corporation hosting it. But I rather take it. For the support Foss and for cutting ties to big corporations.

I'm not sure if, for instance, I stop hosting my server, if the community data is archived on other servers. I'm not a programmer.

The value of information or entertainment might not seem relevant. Though the spreading of information or entertainment might.

It's all personal. A datamining company like Google holds value in it by presenting you ads that are relevant to your interest. Considering that Google holds little power in the fediverse, the value does not come from there.

The value of spreading information or entertainment is subjective, though sometimes quantifiable in that people might buy a product because of a post. I know I bought a few games thanks to lemmy.

I short: not usually financially. Maybe mental value.

Edit: new try:
