Planned obsolescence is like what Apple does

2019-07-11 23:00:24 UTC  

BECAUSE IT'S A BITCH TO KEEP SUPPORTED

2019-07-11 23:00:34 UTC  

AND ONLY IDIOTS USE IT ANYWAYS

2019-07-11 23:00:35 UTC  

Yes, Coolitic, the reasons for doing it are understandable

2019-07-11 23:00:37 UTC  

LIKE U

2019-07-11 23:00:44 UTC  

No, Eccles, that isn’t what it means. Planned obsolescence is the deliberate action of abandoning perfectly viable firmware for the purpose of forcing users to upgrade their system. Your OS is decades old. Over a decade.

im having problems now accessing websites from my XP laptop, i cant get a new browser for it

2019-07-11 23:00:54 UTC  

Viability is irrelevent

2019-07-11 23:00:56 UTC  

Your OS is NOT perfectly viable.

2019-07-11 23:00:57 UTC  

They sometimes make a sort of warranty or promise "we'll support it at least X many years so you can feel safe about buying it"

2019-07-11 23:01:02 UTC  

I'm on Windows 10, btw

2019-07-11 23:01:06 UTC  

@Eccles support MS-DOS

2019-07-11 23:01:13 UTC  

else you're a filthy corporatist

2019-07-11 23:01:15 UTC  

Then shut the fuck up and install steam

2019-07-11 23:01:22 UTC  

and yes i know my xp laptop is obsolete, that one is a special case as it runs eprom programmer software that doesnt work on anything newer

2019-07-11 23:01:25 UTC  

Literally arguing nothing here

2019-07-11 23:01:26 UTC  

Me being a boomer doesn't mean you're right when you're clearly not

2019-07-11 23:01:27 UTC  

support Atari console

2019-07-11 23:01:35 UTC  

support Playstation 1 for PC games made today

2019-07-11 23:01:42 UTC  

else you're a greedy pig

2019-07-11 23:02:36 UTC  

For someone bitching about strawmen earlier, you're certainly trotting plenty out, COolitic

2019-07-11 23:02:53 UTC  

What am I not right about? If you’re arguing from the position that abandoning XP is planned obsolescence, then you’re retarded. If you’re arguing that steam licenses games, then you’re just wrong.

2019-07-11 23:03:01 UTC  

There’s not a single thing you’re right about here.

2019-07-11 23:03:15 UTC  

Abandoning XP wasn't the issue

2019-07-11 23:03:27 UTC  

Then what is? Losing access to your games?

2019-07-11 23:03:35 UTC  

Yes

2019-07-11 23:03:53 UTC  

he's literally just salty that he doesnt know how to upkeep his games

2019-07-11 23:03:59 UTC  

You didn’t lose access. If you wanted a refund, you can call support and they will pay you back. If you wanted to play them, they’re also attached to your steam account.

2019-07-11 23:04:05 UTC  

that's literally all that's happening here

2019-07-11 23:04:11 UTC  

he doesnt have a legitimate point to make

2019-07-11 23:04:50 UTC  

Not to ride gayben’s cock or anything, but you’re fucking lucky it was steam. Any other platform and they’d have you buy the game again.

2019-07-11 23:04:50 UTC  

They did only one thing wrong - they should have made those legacy products entirely offline, removed the DRM from them

2019-07-11 23:05:15 UTC  

The moment you clicked install, that was the only RDM it needed

2019-07-11 23:05:21 UTC  

DRM*

2019-07-11 23:05:45 UTC  

And again as coolithic said, you can play offline

2019-07-11 23:05:47 UTC  

I don't have an issue with Steam as it is, other than some retarded bugs

2019-07-11 23:05:59 UTC  

you just said you hated steam

2019-07-11 23:06:01 UTC  

Then what are we even arguing about?

2019-07-11 23:06:02 UTC  

earlier

2019-07-11 23:06:19 UTC  

I hate that they make out you're buying games when you're renting them

2019-07-11 23:06:27 UTC  

the trouble is steam library functionality dies as soon as theres no working client, so you can never delete anything. thats not steams fault, you should back up your machine
