some people have high natural immunity to (my) "humour" :)
aren't they just admitting that they do vertical bundling ? assuming its fairly cheap to allow cod on steamdeck.
so the issue should be "how much does or would that bundling harm call of duty consumers (including marginal non-buyers)" by reducing their choices.
Steam deck isn't entering the market of "hardware that cod players can use" so not relevant to that segment of the hardware market.
what is relevant is the market for FPS software (and play servers?), whether a steamdeck user can buy a reasonable substitute ; how good of a substitute it is determines the level or harm.
so if most players are near-indifferent to switching to a steamdeck FPS, then the bundling is not very harmful.
that's why bundling , say, photoshop with windows would be worse - as lots of ps customers will have a high cost of switching -because they don't want to be called gimps.

garlic is supposedly a very easy plant to grow. i think you just need a bucket, some soil and a couple cloves.

I'm not a meat eater personally.
But I don't understand why people who like to eat meat don't eat human.
I think there are, or have been, some who do. It's seems cultural, and a bit of a luxury to be wasteful.
I don't think there's any socially agreed line between "good" and "bad".
I reckon people mostly do what their culture prefers or tolerates.
Different cultures have different ranges of acceptable behavior from different people fulfilling different roles within them . Most people are members of many sub-cultures going right down to small family groups , professional associations, work-teams, sports teams and so on. There'll be some sort of consequence for transgression, maybe verbal shaming, spitting in someone's beer, withheld services, exclusion from jobs, or expulsion from the group.
Sometimes people (in power) agree to put in laws and expend resources on enforcement instead of cultural norms; probably because the clashes within or between (sub)cultures and the inconsistent treatment of transgressions becomes too costly or disruptive.
That's when you get a "line" that says "wrong", once its been put into an enforced law. Even then the law, and enforcement, is always still a bit blurry. partial, and biassed so it's really just a formalisation of the process for administering the consequences of transgression.
i think it is possible to find things that look similar in other social animals too like, other apes, wild dogs, things with pecking orders , rats and so on. I wonder if there are even roles similar to " police" in some non-human cultures?
