He is right. And remember you pay for a subscription you don’t own the game or dlc :
“As a Subscriber you may obtain access to certain services, software and content available to Subscribers or purchase certain Hardware (as defined below) on Steam. The Steam client software and any other software, content, and updates you download or access via Steam, including but not limited to Valve or third-party video games and in-game content, software associated with Hardware and any virtual items you may acquire in a Subscription Marketplace are referred to in this Agreement as “Content and Services;” the rights to access and/or use any Content and Services accessible through Steam are referred to in this Agreement as “Subscriptions.””
We do have to hold Microsoft to a very slightly different standard, because they’re a Military Contractor. They’re not going to risk hundreds of billions of dollars to take a stance and make a statement. In that sense, this should not surprise anybody.
It is, though. It’s one thing for some random artist to condemn the current admin, a totally different thing for a massive military contractor to. That is a different standard.
If Trump made himself an AI Trump Mickey Mouse video and somebody specifically asked reanimated Walt Disney for comment, that would be shocking. If a similar circumstance happened to Boeing or Northrop Grumman, then… No shit no comment.
I’ve been a fan of Halo since CE, so many memories and custom games, I got legendary editions and autographs from chief and cortanas va’s, in no way are the white house’ shit posts diminishing all of that, after all this is just the churned SLOP of some intern. I sure as shit won’t be buying anything Halo or XBOX, spineless corporation…I saw this one post DHS about Destroying the Flood??
I often see gambling ads on my local TV channels that are from the government basically saying if you’re going to gamble at least gamble on stuff we profit from instead of giving your money to an out of country company. Is it fair to say it’s the same for valve doing good work with bad money that people would have spent gambling anyways? Idk i’m connecting the two but they might just both be bad XD
I don’t think so. It’s unlikely, but not implausible. I don’t think ICE have a list of “don’t arrest” people, and not everyone knows what every CEO looks like. They might run into him randomly and just act on it.
I don’t think Satya Nadal is going out in public like regular people, but it could still happen.
It’s another form of kissing the ring. They know it’s bad for business but there’s the implied threat that if they retaliate the FCC will grind the company to a hault.
So it’s a way of reminding them of their loyalty and extending the president’s influence beyond it’s legal limits, very common tactic during the 1940’s of a particular country’s history.
