Furthermore, why are you so eager to lick corporate boot over this? Just accept the fact that corps are fucking consumers over by trying to redefine terms like “purchase” and “own” to mean something other than their existing widely-accepted definitions.
If I buy an expensive piece of hardware, I do expect to be able to own it and install what I goddamn well please, corporate approval be damned. That’s why I buy Pixels and standard PC hardware, because I can unlock the bootloader/disable secure boot and install what I goddamn well please. Can’t do that with any iPhone, and rarely a Mac, because it goes against what Daddy Apple hath decreed.
Additionally, it is also acceptable to acknowledge the former and simultaneously acknowledge that Epic is a shitty company. They aren’t mutually exclusive.
I was about to give a genuine reply, then I read your second sentence and now I realize there’s no point. Straight to the tired old garbage “boot licker” insults. Have fun.
When did I ever say I was entitled to it?
