since the server validates everything anyway

Oh you sweet summer child.

The server doesn't validate shit, because that takes up CPU cycles on THEIR hardware, which costs them money. A huge part of kernel level anticheat is forcing YOU to pay the cost for anticheat, so they can squeeze a few more pennies out of it. And if your computer gets owned because they installed insecure, buggy malware on your system...? Well, they'll just deny. After all, it's kernel-level, how are YOU going to prove anything?

What? FF14 is currently running laps around wow's sub numbers, wow hasn't been the most active MMO available since before bfa and the bootlicking cratered it.

Yeah, you enjoy your day and your strawman arguement you 'won' against as well.

Also, c’mon, their criticism of this decision in the sentence just before it heavily implies that.

That's literally not how that works, and you even agree in the paragraph above this one. Why are you even arguing about this?

As for twitch's working conditions, it's a company ran by amazon, with management by amazon, so it has a lot of the same problems. From what I understand, the hours are shit, everything is a metric that's impossible to meet, you're constantly at risk of being laid off, a lot of the management are jackasses, and it's very much a bunch of little fiefdoms trying to flex their position and abuse any amount of power they can.

Like, I can sum it up as simply as "Know how terrible twitch mods are? Imagine working for one."

Not quite as bad as the conditions working in an amazon warehouse, sure, but still not something anyone should have to put up with. Regular inhuman working conditions with a focus on gaslighting and abuse, as opposed to an amazon warehouse's egregiously inhuman working conditions which are focused more on physical abuse.

They're talking about the working conditions in general, which are indeed deplorable. They're not saying this specific act is proof of it, or even an example of it.

Reading comprehension, dude.

Google is spending a lot of cash to make Firefox look bad so people are unmotivated to change away from Chrome when manifest v3 is fully rolled out.

Because it's cheaper than actually implementing working anti heat instead of just stealing control of your computer and leaving gaping vulnerabilities on it.

After all, why would they care? It's not their computer.

Except for the fact that it's now invasive as hell and trying to monitor/sell everything on your computer after the rewrite. We had to ditch teams after the rework because it wanted to phone home to dozens of IPs with information about our computers and actions.

The high score was blocking 112 outgoing requests with personal data in a single 1 hour call. (We have network connections locked down on our computers using Little Snitch).

Absolute madness and frankly every single person involved in Microsoft Teams should be thrown in jail for espionage and stalking.

Google really wants to make sure you can't escape their ad-riddled bullshit when they get rid of Manifest v2

The alternatives is getting a PS4 and playing 98% of the PS5 games at 70-90% of the visual quality and 100% of the gameplay, plus all the PS4 games the PS5 doesn't have.

Or just get a switch. You should already have a PC you can cheaply upgrade.
