Marketing people achieving the opposite of the desired results
It is bold of you to think that the desired result is the customer satisfaction. In this era of ultra-capitalism, the goal is to squeeze as much money just to the limit where people won’t leave.
So they slowly add bullshit things like that to test the water of what is acceptable until it breaks.
And then the company release a PR statement saying that they are listening to the community feedback and rollback that last change. They found a new temporary limit that they will still try to push in the near future when enough people have forgotten, and will try to pin those that still remember as alarmists, because remember last time? They went back on their change and they totally learned their lesson guys.
Well stated. I think a lot of corporate action nowadays, especially with any industry connected to the internet, is based on similar logic. “How can we squeeze maximum (profit/market share/growth)? If we go too far, we can always undo it thanks to the internet.”
I wonder how long it’ll be until BMW reintroduces the Heated Seats subscription, or GM changes their legalese to allow them to sell your driving data to 3rd party companies? Those corporate moneygrabs were rolled back due to consumer outrage recently but they’ll probably be back in some form in the next five years.
Time for some
UNSAFE SHUTDOWNS
LMAO how ya gonna hide the outlet behind an ad?
Microsoft understands that it’s not exactly the top choice for a lot of us users right? We use it because of whatever-reason and annoyances like this lead to attrition. I literally only use it to play Helldivers 2 right now.
Helldivers 2 works fine on my debian using steam. As do most other games. Some DRM are windows only. And i will care about that when i have finished my steam backlog
Yeah I’ve been playing helldivers on Linux too, no issues really.
Seems it works on Linux fine: https://www.protondb.com/app/553850?device=pc.
“A lot,” in this instance is a tiny minority. Or do you think that the echo chamber that is Lemmy is somehow representative of a majority?
There’s a reason I’m not upgrading past windows 11. Hell I’ll install Linux before I upgrade to windows 11
Mfers really saw the “drink verification can” copypasta and are trying to make it real.
Glad I broke out of that ecosystem before it got this bad.
