You do understand that without payment processors they lose all revenue streams altogether, right? Like, none of us can buy games anymore.

The oligopoly in that industry is insane.

I come from a place of realism, I assure you. The Minister in Ottawa already said that he wanted housing more affordable but to not reduce the value of the houses.

Much of our money is in housing, and many of our politicians are landlords and real estate investors...

The only encouragement I got for you is that the CMHC said that the realistic aim with building new housing is to bring it back to 2019 levels of affordability.

So from nightmarishly unattainable to disgustingly out of reach.

Will we?

No.

Do these dummies realize that this makes us less likely to ever buy an UbiSlop game?

Look at Bill S-210 from the last Parliament, it made it to 2nd reading in the House. There is cause for concern.

I appreciate your dive into the topic though. Michael Geist has more info on his website.

I feel vindicated for not making an account to see more than 1 page of results now. They can get bent (like they will when this AI move bites them in the ass)

Canadian Senate Bill S-209 aims to do the same in Canada. These idiots really want our data so bad.

I want to take them at their word, but... We've been burnt before. Wouldn't be the first time, and wont be the last. New CEO comes in and is like: why is this not projecting kazilions in sales, we need to change everything and enshitify it before it even hits early access!

 

This has to be the dumbest thing I've seen a lawyer do. And I just re-watched Better Call Saul.
