It would be nice if people just said what they were thinking.

We wanted to juice our PSN subscriber numbers, so we’re forcing everybody to make a PSN account, so hopefully they spend more money with us in the future

Right? I’m so completely sick of all the non-stop lying. If I was president, I’d issue an executive order making lying illegal.

Who decides what “truth” is? In concept I’m with you but in practice that sounds like a nightmare. See: mainland china

Governments should be the arbiters of law and recommendations, not the arbiters of truth.

I mean it’s mostly just something to say, I haven’t put a lot of thought into it. But there are things that are objectively true, and objectively false. If a company states something that is objectively false, then they should be held accountable. This PSN issue is an area where it becomes subjective, or at least difficult to prove, and then we’re right back where we started.

Alright how about ethics laws. Make knowingly lying or blatant dishonesty a felony.

Especially with the rootkit scandal from 2005, the PSN breach from 2011, the internal employee data breach in 2023, etc

Its extremely funny to me that people still bring this up like its actually relevant to any broad swathe of population.

Giant tech nerds really do be forgetting normal people exist.

Edit: yup, this is what i expected.
