I got roped into it without consent :(

Maybe a bit controversial but I am fine with business products being subscription based as their income depend on it and they get priority support quite often. I work with SAP products so that’s what I am basing it on. Kinda same feeling for something like adobe commercial licences but the problem is with the extremely high cost, hidden fees and other shenanigans. The only subscription that I have is Tuta and Addy which I find reasonable. I would probably be getting a subscription for music and videos as well if any of them were actually good, reasonably priced and somewhat ethical for business standards.

Maybe we are the out of touch boomers now

The third panel has a very nice hand 👍

And another point to notice is I doubt any llm would say “one reddit user suggests”.

Doesn’t look like a direct image link so it’s just showing a preview ig

If you don’t remove play service and shit without being unable to use payment apps and other shut, it’s not gonna work for majority. Those are worst offenders that have to be removed for privacy.

Just wait till star citizen releases. Anytime this century, just you wait.

That sounds insane, are computer parts in general that much more expensive than other countries?

Cmon now its illegal to use them anywhere other than iterators

I would take this over int a; anyday

Alright calm down with that insane imagination. As if that douche could ever who that.

Mate what are you on about. I literally admitted I got the date wrong and you are literally ignoring and twisting my words to your wish. Go ahead assuming shit just to cause drama, I am not gonna bother with this redditor argument anymore.

If privacy is important, a custom ROM is highly recommended or rather mandatory. Most brands have locked boot loader which can’t be unlocked immediately without voiding warranty. Some let you to using some bs proprietary software but only after few months. That was the only reason I had to resort to getting a pixel. So look into all the brands available to you and check their policy on custom rooms before looking into the mobile themselves.

No? As I already mentioned multiple times, I am not taking about this article. The original comment is about something entirely and it’s not my fault if you and him didn’t get it. No one here is arguing in bad faith, simply correcting him on his assumption.

Former actually, as you said pretty much every good thing had some negatives, it’s all a trade off on one way or another. But if it was between art and slavery, one outweigh the other heavily. And I feel the same for games as well, I don’t mind waiting and paying a higher price if I have to.

I don’t as the cashier are usually kind enough to consider that when they pack them anyway. At least I never had issues with that before.

I got that as well but my point was lack of wonders like pyramid and some media doesn’t even count as a drawback if we can abolish slavery, which still exist in a different form and name. They simply aren’t on the same balance.

If it takes slavery to make a pyramid or an anime that I enjoy then I don’t need either of them. And no one should feel differently but that’s just my opinion.

Can you read? Serious question. I am not taking about this reviewer as I already mentioned. They weren’t the only one, there are multiple which are probably like 100 reviewers who played this game before release and very few made a mention about the micro transactions and some were also a little surprised about it. Your intent doesn’t matter if you can’t show it well, whatever you’re posting definitely looks like you don’t mind this behaviour and were should stop criticising it. It is 110% fine to criticise something you love, if you don’t then you’re biased and your opinion won’t be taken seriously. Also you don’t have to defend a shitty corpo decision if that’s what you’re doing, definitely seems like it anyway.
