Who wants to bet the damage caused and profit gained by this action was a lot higher than this?

Sound idea. Additionally, it’s now possible to stream games to the tv quite easily. So pc is really the better alternative to get away from psychological abuse through console and game manufacturers.

Also, Minecraft on console is no better than roblox imo. It is a microtransaction pile of sh*t. You could argue that minecraft java works but I get the strong feeling that it wont stay like this forever since bedrock makes more money and allows for stronger manipulation through nonexistent mod support and everything is monetized there.

No but pc is now available on tv. The more people use it, the faster these monetization machines called this decades consoles can wither and die.

Factorio is a great idea if you’re ok with school going to sh*t. I called factorio the „time machine“ since it could zap 12 hrs in one second. Cant remember any other game that I played till dawn in the last 20 yrs.

Two things I see differently:

• the hardware of a pc is standardized as well and the performance of a console is not better afaik
• there is something called unattended upgrades for linux which takes that away as well. You also don’t ever need the newest version of linux

Exactly.

Ptw means you pay for advancement ingame. It has been against the eula to sell items that you cant get ingame through playing.

Yes. For example „efficiency 6 pickaxe“ (you can create whatever stats you want as a server owner) is only available for paid tier members. Done, eula broken and mojang can shut you down immediately (and have done so in the past).

Good news: steamlink can stream your pc games to your tv and you can play with a ds4 or xbox controller. It’s the more environmentally friendly way anyway and it works well.

I‘m very happy with the steam tv link app. It works great and you have a lot more games to choose from afaik.

Your ethics are on point.
