what happens when it's time to buy something new?
Small brain logic. Why do you assume you will be allowed to wait? Try this one: what happens when your ISP won't let you connect to the internet without Windows 11 and TPM credentials?
Anything that depends on TPM access, will be able to uniquely identify you.
So, let's say Easy-Anti-Cheat is updated to depend on the TPM. Well, once the EAC code is executed by the TPM and returned, it will have your ID in it. - That's the software-level.
The worse problem is the hardware level. Do you know what HDCP is? It means a device that outputs videos, can require a cable and display that also support HDCP. It requires that all of them forward certain information, and obey certain restrictions.
The prevalence of TPMs will make it feasible to rollout HDCP-like solutions for the internet. Your ISP won't let you connect unless your network-card and router support "Windows HDCP for The Series of Tubes". Hardware manufacturers will add TPMs as a requirement for their network cards. For their routers. For their modems.
Honestly, the biggest problem is removing the Virmire Survivor in ME2. Even if you played MShep romancing Ashley, it fucks you over.
And most of the characters they added in ME2 were garbage. I would argue that even when they were well-written, they were still unnecessary, and just watered down the development of existing characters.
Obviously, this is a huge impact to gay players, though, as Kaidan is all we get.
Bioware actually had the technical ability to please everyone. When they did, we gave then tens of millions of dollars.
There downfall was when they turned to hate and exclusion of normal people. Not when they included minorities or weirdos, etc. It's a GAME. There's nothing wrong with a game pandering. Nothing.
It's when they started pumping out gross propaganda, and shoveling in diversity hires, that they died.
Eh he's a fugly loser. I don't give a shit what he does. Good for her, I guess.
Where I live there are all these gorgeous dudes with no education, running around hot as models, with tremendous landwhale wives who've trapped them when they were drunk.
I'm kind of desensitized to the stupid, vile, disgusting waste, that the average straight man makes of his un-raised, un-prepared, ignorant life.
I'm not making the comparison you're making. That's what you don't get. These two subjects are not similar.
And, to be fair, I agree with your last statement. I didn't qualify that I just want to see every platform, publisher, creator, worker, etc, I interact with, not to have anything to do with it. It's only a moderate distinction, and I didn't think it would matter to your kind, so I didn't bother. But I'm not saying there should be criminal charges. I did leave that out.
Sex is not the same thing as violence. Bad argument. Yawn.
Nor is pedo art a game. There is no performant aspect of being attracted to children. There is nothing in pedo art other than the partial actualization of a degenerate impulse.
People play games to play, and to win. People create, share, and consume, pedo material, to be pedo as much as they can. There is no comparison between the two at all. And you know that.
Of course your know that.
I know you're talking about drawings. I'm saying that the proliferation of pedo drawings is responsible for the change in people's attitudes, that allowed some people to make Cuties without anyone stopping them.
Does drawing pedo art turn people into pedos? Probably not. Does it cause closet pedos to start offending? Probably not.
Does the awareness of its popularity and acceptance embolden offending and otherwise dangerous pedos? Yes, I think it does. That is my problem with it.
I doubt that there are any studies that even attempt to untangle why Cuties was created. Why every social media platform is gaining MAP presence.
Does shota turn people into pedos? No. But it normalizes pedophilia, and empowers people who are, to bring their sickness into the rest of society. It degrades the self-defense mechanism that society has against pedos.
I can't think of any research organization on the planet, with the sheer horse power necessary to study that scale of effect. I don't care what studies you have - they aren't the right kind of studies.
Why would a Windows 11 machine allow a non-windows11 machine to connect to it, to use it as a proxy?
