Yeah, it’s trash. I switched to the .deb awhile ago because of how bad the snap was.

Are there single player games with anticheat?

Why are you force quitting a game to go use the bathroom? Just step away for a few minutes.

Which anticheat is a “root kit”?

I’ve been playing games that use EasyAntiCheat (Hunt Showdown and Chivalry 2) and they seem to work fine.

Anticheat benefits the users by…reducing the number of cheaters in games. Big concept to wrap your head around, I know.

A center stand for a TV this size can be had for less than $25 retail price. If you call it a “monitor stand”, you can find one for $15 or less. That’s hardly “more than the TV itself”.

Is there some reason to think that running Windows 11 Pro for Workstations would have made a difference in a CPU benchmark? I’m not seeing anything obvious on the feature list for that version that would make that be the case.

Did this happen to anyone other than the one guy who made the video about it? I couldn’t replicate it.

Was any else able to verify the claim in the original video? I couldn’t.

the service charge goes to the staff

Does it? Tips are legally protected and must go to staff, but I don’t think the same applies to “service charges”.

watching evidence videos

You might run into some trouble with surveillance videos that require some proprietary video player to play. Not sure how often you come across those.

What’s different about it?

I don’t know why you think that’s funny. Guy gives you data, you just laugh and present zero counter-information. The video game publishing world seems to be booming:

The number of video game software publishing businesses in the United States has been increasing in the last decade, peaking at 28,052 businesses in 2023 after a dip between 2017 and 2020. In 2022, there will be an estimated 25 thousand U.S. video game software publishing businesses.

Nobody buys movies or songs anymore, they have to pay for a SERVICE to listen to music, tv shows, and movies…

What do you mean they have to? DVDs and CDs are still being sold. It turns out that people simply prefer the convenience of online media services.

If you don’t see value in ownership, then yeah, you “saved” money. But that’s on you.

There is little value in owning a game that you will never play again after the initial play-though, so if you get to play the game for less than it would have cost to buy, then yeah, money was “saved”. That’s why people are happy to pay for streaming services where they can watch content for significantly less money than if they went out and bought DVDs of all the movies/shows that they very likely will never watch again.

You’re also missing the part where they’re undercharging for the service in order to increase adoption, after which they will turn up the costs.

Do you really think people paying for Game Pass are unaware of the monthly cost?

Is the ownership of property in general not also just a “temporary monopoly privilege granted by Congress” or whatever the local legal authority is? If there were no laws protecting property rights, backed up by the power of some sort of government, those property rights would be meaningless.
