I mean, it’s standard behaviour for the industry. Gamers have been royally fucked in the ass , in public, for 10 years or more. This is nothing.

[-] odium@programming.dev 20 points 1 year ago

Standard behaviour isn't an excuse for shitty practices. If you want the standard to become better, rebel against/boycott entities enforcing that standard.

Once upon a time slavery was standard behaviour. Once upon a time company towns were standard behaviour. Once upon a time, absolute monarchies were standard behaviour. Things got better because people didn't accept the standard and took a stand against it. Not because they dismissed it as the standard.

Gamer compares been required to login with sony, to slavery.

Keep going mate - I’m loving it .

I'm pointing out that "it's fine because it's the norm" isn't a logical argument by showing how absurd that argument sounds when applied to other things.

Logical arguments are sound even when you use them for other contexts.

When you use quotes, you’re supposed use words that words actually said by someone. Not paraphrase, not your interpretation. So, I suggest mastering the basics, before moving on logical and absurdism.

And when you’ve done that, go and take a long hard stare in the mirror, and ask yourself if you think it’s clever or moral, to invoke slavery as a means to win an argument about a PSN account.

You can grow from this.

https://www.grammarly.com/blog/quotation-marks/ Quotation marks are for more than just direct quotes.

Wasn't trying to use slavery for an emotional appeal, but as an example of a standard that was overturned that I could think of off the top of my head. I realized that there could be some emotions invoked by the slavery example and intentionally tried to think of less emotionally charged examples for my next examples. I used company towns and absolute monarchies instead of the first few things I thought of which were: women's rights, homophobia/transphobia, indentured servitude, apartheid, death sentences. Most famous standards, that everyone would know of, that have changed for the better, are emotionally charged.

This argument chain has been going on for three days and I have better things to do in my life, so I will stop replying to this chain after this.

Hope this can help you start thinking about how to make logical arguments

Homie, you're pretty deep in that hole already. Stop digging.

I know, it’s almost too easy 😅

It’s Just gamers, living up to every single stereotype ever .

nah, you’re simply in the wrong

„This is nothing“, „Gamers with 15 accounts being asked to create one more“, „Gamers living up to every stereotype ever“.

You are right about one thing: making people annoyed is easy

[-] doublejay1999@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It’s what gamers are famous for, is it not ? Becoming enraged on the internet ?

Being annoyed by blatantly wrong statements is part of human nature, I think

[-] Zoot@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Its just what trolls are famous for, is it not ? Being a joke on the internet ?

Have a backbone for once, care about something in the world, maybe if the trend continues they'll help you next time. Or don't, and we will continue to have no one wanting to help no one.

I would like to jump in and say, I agree with you. All these people with CDPR launchers/accounts, EA launchers/accounts, ubisoft launchers/accounts, xbox game pass accounts, pissed off at the one game that has made every possible attempt to not fuck it's consumers. Probably making these comments from chrome signed into their Google account on their personal computer signed into their Microsoft account. This requirement is beyond Arrowheads control, and it doesn't even require you to install software that wants to run in your tray. Just use a bogus email, sign in in game once and forget about it.

It seems you had to create a strawman there to booster your weak argument

[-] odium@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Of all the places to make this strawman, you do it on lemmy, lmao. Have you not seen the amount of firefox, Linux, etc., posts on here?
