An effective duopoly is impossible for consumers to overcome, it requires industry and regulations.

I can rip blu rays with my ps3!?


There would literally be nothing left of either if they did, we are in dark times


I am so wary of downloading them though, exe files are scary for fools like me


I am in the process of moving to pc from ps. I wont buy the same games again, it doesnt make sense to me. Where it is cheap and easy I have done but I feel I bought the right to buy them and also I hate some of the features with logins and always on connections.


The alternatives are not as easy use
I love building a huge base, something I never get the chance to online.
I was playing this last night I just pressed download and I got my ass handed to me 4/5 times.


The use case for those is doing what we could do on the internet 15 years ago ourselves but it has been so bastardised that it is too inconvenient now.
I do wish it was as funny as a younger reddit, I used to be bowled over reading comments. I fesr we have lost a spark from all the fuckery of the world.


Yes and no. I support foss and am trying slowly to move myself. I would love a linux phone but supports are not in place to have a similar experience. Banking apps and app availability and feature parity are barriers. Consumers would move to something new if it filled their needs, see blackberry to iphone.
I hate microsoft so I dont care that they lost but they didnt give it enough time to build for sure, but you had huge apps like snapchat saying they wouldn’t build for their phone. This is limiting exposure.
The fact is moving out of tbe established duopoly is more akin to choosing not to have a device then it is choosing a competitor, it may aswell be a palm pilot you move to in some instances.


That isnt how it works. We may have preferred others if they had been better, we were not given that option. I would prefer if windows phones existed as an alternative but they had very limited third party support.
Consumers couldnt take a phone where all their apps would not work.


Sucks that they focus solely on google produced phones though.


Okay yeah as a non gamer I wasnt sure of the problem. I had heard he has great employee benefits and people generally love the product so I wasnt seeing the issue with the success but thisnis a major issue.
Obviously he should be taxed more and all that jazz too.


Should I get a steam link? Not entirely sure of its purpose but those words look good


Obviously fuck this, but your arguments are the same for public transport. Government run, easily tracked and has paywalls.
It is an efficiency, decency, environmental and cost decision. Waymo loses all. Convenience currently is its seller.
Your OS shares info, likely android?


I dont know, I have heard valid complaints but the western setting doesnt allow for much other than bandit themed random encounters and favours. There are other more out there ones that hint to larger things like time travel etc.
Evidence of what? How can you prove there was evidence? What are the limitations of using your own device as designed while not under arrest?
