Fully agree. I would even outlaw the walled garden concept completely. I would necessitate interconnecting APIs for everything. So that I can call apples app store over their api from any machine for example.
If someone comes up with an example that overburdens a company, they need to allow others to make such tools for free.
Also, i would outlaw any fee on things that cant be explained logically. Like apple tax for example.
Honestly, it think thats a really good idea. Proprietary consoles are a relict and its great if they go away and get replaced by open platforms like the steamdeck and steam machines (not necessarily affiliated with valve though).
Please make sure that they also refund you the interest on the money. Although preordering games is pretty lame imo, companies should be punished for going back on preorders, better yet have to make it work no holds barred.
I feel like we‘re not seeing/talking about the reason the console market is another duopoly. Its a harsh failure on cartel prevention laws imo. New consoles should pop up here and there yet they dont (very small opening for steamseck likes). Its not a healthy market.
At first glance I think the IP laws are the problem here. A new console should be able to run xbox games and/or ps5 games and compete on hardware and ergonomics alone imo. That way the competition would drive prices down and decisions would again be for improving the service, not the bottom line.
This is a rough post because neither did you provide alt text for these non mobile friendly pictures nor did you put any emphasis or mention what you actually are trying to say or ask.
From what I have gathered after readin through it, US citizens are being asked to waive their rights to class actions or any form of jury trial for any reason whatsoever.
This absolutely is reason to boycott them and make a giant fuss about it but I would ask that you or someone makes this a lot easier to grasp in like 15 seconds so peeps dont just scroll over it.
