Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

locking down consoles to games only always felt stupid when they are basically pcs anyway. they should have been multipurpose machines all along instead of walled gardens.
Fully agree. I would even outlaw the walled garden concept completely. I would necessitate interconnecting APIs for everything. So that I can call apples app store over their api from any machine for example.
If someone comes up with an example that overburdens a company, they need to allow others to make such tools for free.
Also, i would outlaw any fee on things that cant be explained logically. Like apple tax for example.
Same obviously goes for consoles.
open standards and interoperability should be the law.
Amen
