The same reason a movie theater owner can't show Pee Wee's Big Adventure every weekend. Value is derived from exclusivity. Exercising your "rights" to a work means preventing anyone from having access to the work unless you are paid when and how you want.

You're not wrong.
If NVK is good enough maybe Nvidia will consider dropping the proprietary driver because no one will want to use it and it will cost too much for them to maintain a separate driver.
A man can dream.
This is the nature of Licensing. Welcome to the party. It sucks no matter what the actual issue is. For instance, it's possible that HP is actually Licensing these features themselves and it's required by their upstream manufacturer of the backplane chip to license each individual user for iLO. You never know with this BS.
You don't own your hardware. You especially don't own your software. I don't know what the FOSS alternative would be unless there was like a libreBootserver with a libreILO type firmware.
Is there an alternative way to register a domain that cannot be seized? It seems like domain seizure is the one thing that enables internet censorship. Is there some sort of block chain base registrars out there? I'm genuinely curious.
Please reiterate your statement but instead using the "goose chase meme" format.
Ya got me. Great job
Are there any game review outlets that cap the review rating for a game that has Anti-Consumer features?
I think it would be a great idea to be like "on a scale of 0-100, games with a day one DLC take a penalty of 15 points. Cannot receive a score over 85".
It's not a single game. It's a whole new piece of software. They decided to make three games on the same Engine to streamline production but it's not an hd remaster of an old game. They are brand new games.
I can understand the perception that it should be one game because it's the story from an old game that has been split up. However if you play it, you'll find out pretty quickly it's actually a whole new story.
There are plenty of cash grab titles out there but I don't think this is the cash grab I think you make it out to be.
Everybody who plays videogames has had this experience
Pay 70$ for a game:
- it's digital only
- comes loaded with Micro transactions
- grinding mechanics that have a pay to skip function
- single player campaign: 13 hours
- buggy and unfinished glitches and freezes
- PC port locked at 30fps, runs Denuvo.
- gets removed from my library in a few years because "It's too expensive to maintain and licensing reasons"
"I'm never getting ripped off like this again"
STUDIO executive "I wonder why no one wants to buy these games... Must be the price."
People who still like Blizzard, they're very much the same kind of people who can't let go of Disney.
I watched the linked video and thought about the "Whales" and immediately my stomach sank. Thinking about a fully grown adult standing at one of these machines just cranking away for hours on a journey to empty them out and horde what's inside is only made worse by the fact that there are more people in line to do the same thing.
It's just gross.
Good video!
