As the title suggests, over the last couple of days there’s been an influx of doomer comments over the SKG petition. While it’s fine to disagree, I’m finding it suspicious that there weren’t comments like this posted a week or 2 ago

    See that sounds like a good counter argument on the surface but it is very flawed.

    By just blaming big corporations and pointing the finger, your missing two important factors:

    1. The big corporations do what they do because of consumers like you and me.
    2. by shifting responsibility and effectively saying it’s okay to pass the buck, you’re telling people it’s okay to not have this front and center every day.

    As much as I like blaming big corporations, we got here (and every point in human history before us) because of what the masses did or neglected to do.

    So as inconvenient as it must be, until we pop out of this us vs them, the corporation expected lifespans can be centuries, human’s are finite, and if you keep that whataboutism alive, will get a lot shorter soon.

        Set the graphics quality setting of your game to low for a start.

        And then probably start an AI chat to give you a tailored list of things you can do based on your age, education, location and family situation.

          So I should save a few watt-hours and then burn a few thousand more for an AI query? I already play on a Steamdeck or read so some wanker can fly a few more centimeters with his private jet.

      The big corporations do what they do because of consumers like you and me

      Which is why they run a non stop barrage of advertisemenr campaigns to brainwash the consumer into…

      Oh. Wait. No.

      That would mean the corporations basically tell the consumers what to do, and they basically listen.

      Well, dang, thank god it’s not like they bankroll politicians to the point of individual citizen campaign donors being largely of no effectiveness whatsoever in the vast majority of…

      Wait, whats that Jamie?
