Most of the people whinging about censorship
To further add on that, to complain about censorship for a mod that LITERALLY censors the game.

Is it possible that in the future there will be games available on Xbox Game Pass that cannot be played without joining Game Pass? Phil Spencer: No. That's not it. What we want to offer is choice.
I see you person from 2027 looking back at this post finding statements to prove how they were lying when they said this.

Not to mention that the argument that moderators are acting in bad faith against what the users want isn't really holding up if a rather decent chunk of active users are in favor of doing this.

More than Skyrim or Fallout, Todd Howard says Starfield was "intentionally made to be played for a long time" and Bethesda's looking 5+ years ahead
We can just wait for the mod that recreates Skyrim in Starfield.

I mean, it's less about the coins and more about something that has an equivalent monetary value being wiped without any compensation whatsoever.

Unity issue an apology on Twitter for "confusion and angst" over the runtime fee policy.
It took them a week to make a tweet saying basically nothing?

Not to mention that it's such a sudden announcement. I mean, sure, they gave people 3 months notice in advance, but when you consider the scale of many games probably take longer than 3 months to make the decision AND actually make the switch (or make up for the switch), it's cause for quite a bit of harm.
Granted, the majority of people may not be affected by it due to needing to meet a requirement of like earning $200,000 and 200,000 installs at a minimum, but I feel like the once you reach that, it's just downhill from there.
In addition to your example of costing the devs for reinstalling the game, you now have to consider the possibility of a user (or group of users) maliciously reinstalling their games to financially damage the developer. Sure, Unity says they'll have fraud detection for stuff like that, but then it's literally up to the people you owe money to decide whether you should pay more or less money to them.

You say that as if we don't want other people to enjoy the game that's there. It's not a difficult thing to sympathize that these mob votes are a needlessly frustrating thing.

Yeah, it really can't be helped. The piracy community can always just shut down and congregate elsewhere. It's significantly harder for a more general community to scatter and reform.

Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC'
Honestly, what do you expect someone to say when asked a question like that? There's no answer there.

YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it

It's an arms race. They block adblockers, adblockers block the anti-adblocks. It breaks for maybe like a few hours before it's circumvented.

Epic Games Admits In Court That Its PC Store Still Isn't Profitable

It wasn't even to release on their software platform, it was more explicitly a "non-Steam" release as games were available on PC via both Epic and Microsoft's Store.

This Starfield puddle exploit lets you rob an entire store's inventory for free
I really don't get why whoever keeps putting these inventories so close to the surface. To the point that I think it's intentional and they just sit and wait to see how long it takes for someone to find it.

But I wouldn’t go as far as to say Mojang is lazy.
If not lazy, I'd call them maliciously incompetent. Any modder can put out all three mobs in an afternoon. There's a bit of a greater expectation for a multibillion dollar company making hundreds of millions of dollars every year.
It's literally drumming up as much engagement as possible for the least amount of work you can get. How could you not call that "lazy?" What else would you call it?

In my opinion, I don't think No Man's Sky's procgen is very good. Or at least, it doesn't feel very good to experience. It just all feels so samey, partly because it's kind of "too diverse" and shows all it's got way too quickly.

Unity: An open letter to our community
Well, I mean, at least it's good for anyone who working on a project now. Or rather, it's not terrible for anyone working on a unity project now. It's not going to clear up the black mark that went down the past week. It's gonna get brought up every time Unity is mentioned.
