I have listened to several of his interviews. That’s why I even bother to indicate I appreciate his take. Pardon me if I treat someone with skepticism riding heavily on a platform that is at minimum rehotorically religious stating they believe in separation of church and State.
That’s not it.
It’s how they’ll:
Charge more for the service whenever they feel like it.
You have to subscribe to each gaming service separately if you want access to their games. Just like Netflix or Prime Video, except there’s no way to sail the high seas for these games as they’ll all be cloud based.
Unbundle your access – you now get unlimited hours for one game or pay more for all games with top tier, pay for every DLC unless you pay for top tier, etc.
Pay for skins, upgrades, mods, your “own” server, the ability to record yourself playing for your social media, voice chat…
Pay for top tier lobbies so you load in faster.
Pay for the best maps.
And of course the service will enshittify. Dropped and slow connections, shittier game quality, glitches and exploits go unpatched, etc.
The ability to exploit and extort gamers is almost endless once they take away our PCs and consoles.
The level of drama over this is fit for a Fargo-like movie.
Talarico seems to have his shit together. That said, keep your religion the fuck outta government. It’s fine pointing out the religious hypocrisy and charlatans in politics, but opening the door to religion, even if the individual is agreeable, is a bad idea.
Looks like gag-reflex girlfriend. Hang on, let me look for something with her in it…
Edit: found it. They look similar. Can’t post it here, the only source I found was a Facebook reel and I don’t want to get downvoted to shit for posting FB stuff.
