As a famous content creator used to say: Konami is Konami, and Konami is the worst.
Hell yeah, not supporting Bobby Kotek never felt so good, Not a dollar to Activision Blizzard in two plus years now
Yea… for government computers graphics cards they still have a tough time handling solitaire.
Breaking news: Blizzard has announced a new CEO will soon take over
and address everything wrong with the company
and his name is – Cobby Bottick!
"unbusiness" rofl I love it. copyright that term brutha
Please being the Pale Beyond to Playstation. It looks like a really good interesting game. A unique experience..
6:00 – This is why I don't use my work laptop for ANYTHING other than work. If I want to watch some video in a break, I'll break out my personal laptop or phone if I'm onsite somewhere. Even if I'm onsite and folks want to find a place to do lunch, do it with my personal stuff. Even if there's no policy against it, it's just a good habit to make a hard line there.
Those talks are nice, what about making some type of videogame niche video-podcasts alongside the news? that could be a good idea, right?
Nothing you can say will make me pity Net-eeeeeeeze scummy company and I'm not a fan of Blizard either fter the last few years.
9:42 The very definition of malware , no matter if is harmless or not
The idea a community developer thought he had the right to dole out any kind of extrajudicial punishment is insane. The moment you do anything malicious you loose your credibility among the community. There've been quite a few cases that've proven that already, especially in the MMO sphere. So why'd he think that was acceptable?
Anyone still remember Broomop's trashing of Official PSO2 JP and SCHTHACK back in 2012, and how dramatically it backfired on him?
that thumbnail + title combo implying FFXIV is directly responsible with malware is desperation-levels of clickbait, how sad.
You know what actually concerns me the most about this entire gshade debacle? It is very easy to make the slight leap to imagine Microsoft doing this if you don't keep Windows up to date. "You're not patched, so we're deciding that you don't get to use your computer."
Anyone that restarts my PC without my person is going to have their skulls removed.
I do not tolerate that bullshit, to me that's well beyond a red-line.
You couldn't run anything 3d on a government computer unless its emulated in a web browser. Og halflife wont run. You might het quake to run.
lol get NUKED
wooooooow. NetEase is gonna lose up 5 days of worth of MTX income … Big whoop.
we used to play doom, star craft and carmageddon on the school computers back in the late 1990's early 2000s. thats before the network guys really started locking down the permissions on the computer lab.
the REASON for that malware is absolutely INSANE!!!! wtf is actually wrong in their head to make them think that was ok?????
Break them up
Well…..Youtube tells me i can';t make a comment becuase your protected until next week when the pwer ends, and then your worthless
Most government pc's at least here in the states aren't going to run any decent games and unless you have a super shit IT section it would be hard to put anything on a government pc. Usually you can't even connect your own pc to the ethernet ports
The person who made "Geezshade" and "Deezshade" was illegally scraping more than what they were advertising, they're a 16 year old brat playing around with coding, they were openly mocking and making fun of creators whose work they were scraping, breaking copyright.
So. I'm still going to use GShade, the 16 year old shouldn't be doing that, the GShade person shouldn't have done a restart, but at the same time, NOBODY SHOULD HAVE BEEN USING SHADY FUCKING ALTERNATIVES FROM A 16 YEAR OLD.
poor choice in title and thumbnail. it looks like you are implying that ff14 is responsible.
placing my first dislike ever on your channels.
GShade was used for many games. among others, pso2ngs, gw2, lost ark etc. even skyrim to a degree… it was not an exclusive ff14 issue.
I remember having games on a USB plugin external drive to play while I was at work so that they werent locally installed haha
wow, you don't want gaming companies to become like other corporate entities. That is the exact reason there is so little new stuff being made. It's all rehashed bullshit with a different skin and the same gameplay with one or 2 mechanics switched up….. gaming will be dead here soon because people are going to have to be paid at some point to populate these games with actual people….
making your thumbnail and title "FFXIV malware power trip" makes it look a lot like you're saying that FFXIV itself is malware.
I would argue that there is no world where "the program can reset your computer without warning or your consent" counts as "benign" – the person who made that decision has ZERO idea what is running on the computer they reset, and saying "you shouldn't run anything critical while running my program" isn't an excuse.
Not surprising square soft would peddle malware.
a way less worse thing to do for a message is that a text box pops up saying that this could have been ransom ware
fines should be percentage based on total revenue.
