So many games are making the trade-off and it only makes sense because players don’t understand what they are giving in to.
minus-squareDefaced@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·4 months agoThe crowdstrike fuck up has already shown how something like vanguard can fuck your shit up easily. I’m glad league doesn’t run on Linux anymore, I don’t need this vanguard trash fucking up my PC.
minus-squareMentalEdge@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 months agoYeah, but it didn’t affect gamers. People don’t care until something either does affect them, or in a VERY in your face kind of way, could. Crowdstrike, unfortunately, is a funny “lol the corporates fucked their own shit up” case and the average gamer simply won’t connect the dots.
