>I don't know if that will be allowed to happen because at the end of the day Nintendo/Sony/Xbox control what is or isn't allowed on their consoles
It doesn't need to be console only. Obviously the consoles being the big things kinda puts some limitations into that, but that still means subscription services for the big three and I don't know many more for PCs. I still don't see it being any beneficial for the industry in the end, we'll go back to the current video streaming situation
Netflix may have killed cable TV, which sucked, but it couldn't stay the only game in town forever because the model doesn't actually benefit non-netflix parties making content just for Netflix, it's not sustainable, hence why there's a billions of these now and they're churning out shitty content after shitty content in hope you'll jump in
None of this is sustainable in the slightest and something has to be done to fix it and the ideal result would be purchase episodes to own a la MP3, DRM free

Climate hysteria is about controlling the next generation.

Apparently, leaked Phil Spencer e-mail. Writes in an email about how AAA games are the biggest cancer killing video games and how it's unsustainable and how making smaller games and newer IPs is the way forward for the games industry
@Mondobizarrro @che5hire @condret @coolboymew Have you looked into System76 or Framework? They provide up-gradable and repairable laptops.
@coolboymew @che5hire There might be people selling their pre-made solutions online.

>Lmao what is this scam, just put Linux in a USB stick bruh
Similar products have been around for years. There are flash-drives with custom Linux distros solely designed to be restrictive environments for children (whitelisted websites, child-friendly games, etc). Honestly, this product wouldn't exist if people realized that Linux is not the 1337 h4x0r operating system that they were lead to believe.
>There's just like nothing fucking cool like you saw in the 90s/00s and in LGR videos, it's all streamlined garbage that will steal your data
You could try looking into more niche/indie/open-source hardware manufacturers. I'm not sure if there are many products with the same type of gimmicks found back in the 90s/00s, but they tend to respect your privacy and right-to-repair.
Most of the gimmicky stuff can be found in DIY projects. You can check out what people make with Arduino, SBCs, and stuff like that. It seems like companies decided to let people come up with gimmicks themselves instead of having them experiment with such products.

>They probably sucked but it would be cool if there was a “game cartridge maker” equivalent in modern day or something.
There are kits you can buy that allow you to make your own reproduction carts. You no longer need to sacrifice existing game cartridges. You can easily 3D print your own shells. All you need to do is buy these custom made circuit boards.

@ooignignoktoo @coolboymew The closest thing I had to a VR headset was some weird LCD game that took the form of binoculars. You had to aim it at a light-source to even see the thing. I remember it involving shooting airplanes and defending some hot-air balloon that looked like a RE/MAX balloon. There were buttons on the binoculars itself, it wasn't motion controlled or anything like that.
I have no idea where it went though. My parents probably gave it to Goodwill long ago.
@ooignignoktoo @coolboymew I want to explore the stars, not stuck in a pod with a VR headset strapped on.

@coolboymew I think it was because back then the evolution of technology was rapid and people had more optimism where as technology now has stagnated and the only advances seem to be for more nefarious purposes of advances the surveillance state / spying on people.
@Indigo My college campus had refunds in case a vending machine wasn't working. Granted, you would do it in the cafeteria which may have been part of the same company that was supplying those vending machines.

@Kyonko802 He was probably hoping to get hired by CDPR. Just like how Source/GoldSrc modders get hired by Valve.
WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NEED A FUCKING LICENSE TO FUCKING HAVE A FUCKING VENDING MACHINE IN YOUR BUILDING?!?!?
