What's your favourite genre that doesn't take place in the real world?

It's funny to me that Square considered naming Final Fantasy "Fighting Fantasy," because even though they ultimately didn't due to a tabletop game already having the name...

...TWO YEARS LATER...

...Data East did the deed with an arcade game, and they were absolutely fucking shameless about it.

> When people lived on farms, they had a lot of kids because it was essentially free labour. When we moved to the cities, though, people stopped having kids -- they became more of a luxury.

#Microsoft has been trying this for the past three decades. UEFI didn't manage to lock alternative operating systems out of the hardware originally designed for Windows like they intended, so they need to come up with something new. That's the whole purpose of Microsoft #Pluton.

All the talk about increased security is just marketing bullshit intended to gaslight users. It's quite uncommon for malware nowadays to overwrite the MBR, and hypervisor-like isolation of user-space code can also be achieved in the OS layer without locking up the hardware. The simple truth is that Microsoft wants its monopoly back and it wants to do it by kicking any potential competitors out of hardware designed for Windows, whatever it takes.

Microsoft deserves to burn in a ball of fire and leave no traces behind. I'm sick of their continuous arrogant attempts of establishing an absolute monopoly out of market share weight, not out of merit. Weren't they supposed to focus on that stinky pile of crap that is Azure, and finally leave non-cloud users in peace?

This is yet one more argument in support of open hardware, and in support of hardware manufacturers that don't ship solutions with Windows pre-installed.
