Brother
Whats wrong with Brother? Bought one of their toner printers recently. Doesn’t require any bullshit drivers, borderline malware software, or even genuine toner cartridges.
Shit was up and running within 60 seconds and prints/scans on Windows, Android, Mac, Linux, (and maybe iOS idk) without any additional software.

This is such a fucking post. Activision-Blizzard is drowning in cash because people continue to buy their garbage. Diablo Immortal was a great move. OP is completely clueluess.
Lol
Please somehow let YouTube/Google be next. Somehow.
I keep up to date with a lot of tech stuff through youtube so I genuinely don’t know who can offer a service as big and reliable as google. I’m pretty sure they’re offering at a loss or something right? I’ve tried Peertube and Oddysee but not all creators are on those platforms.
yeah YouTube looses a shitton of money for google, so much that they stopped reporting it and just add it into their total loss now
Google is pulling shenanigans with Chrome through it’s inbuilt ad tracking and web integrity.
Oh yeah, and that’s only going to get worse. I’m honestly hoping for YouTube to somehow crash and have a reformation. I know that’s a pipedream, but still
Epic Games
Forgot WotC. They sent Pinkertons after a leaker and tried to drain every last dollar out of third party creators with their OGL update.
“Why don’t you pay for every damn bullet you fire in the game you fucking peasants!!??” -Unity CEO
That’s EAs former CEO lmao
Unity’s current CEO is the ex-EA CEO isn’t he?
Yep and he’s a dingbat
capitalists doing capitalism things
The invisible hand of the free market yet again proving how consistently good and efficient it is
o
Imgur and Tumblr too
Netflix… except that move is sadly paying off
I’ve done my part. 🏴☠️ Cancelled that shit immediately.
Red Hat (Enrerprise Linux) & HashiCorp (Terraform) closed the source of their products in different ways, also fucking over their community of clients and contributors, though their reasoning seems slightly more sane than “no more free money, aaargh!”
Zoom: “wE cAnT cOlAbOrAtE iF wErE nOt In PeRsOn. We NeEd EmPloYeEs To ReTuRn tO tHe OfFiCe.”
They have stiff competition but this has to be one of the most incompetent boners I have ever seen pulled by a major corporation. Stating very clearly to the entire world that you have no confidence in your own product. If Eric Yuan (Zoom’s CEO) wasn’t the principle shareholder he probably would have been fired out of a cannon by now.
And what are zoom employees using from the office to sell their product? Why no other than a fine Zoom call, from our desk to yours!
Companies be like:
What did Blizzard do this time? Or is a reference to their same old bullshit?
Mostly same old bullshit just add D4 being a cashgrab/flop on the pile if you were unaware of that part. As far as I know that’s their most recent community oriented fuck up following overwatch 2 drama.
I didn’t know D4 had flopped. I got D2R on a huge sale that came with D3 in a combo bundle that was cheaper than D2R alone at full price, and IMO it’s fine as an ARPG but TERRIBLE as a Diablo game. Grim Dawn is a better D2 successor, even if it doesn’t have procedural dungeon generation. Torchlight 2 is okay for that part, and having a pet to sell loot for ya is nice too. As for Overwatch I have a low opinion on multiplayer games (I play ARPGs solo) overall and competitive gameplay especially, so IDGAF about that game. Blizz is still a shit company now though, and a prime example of what happens when you sell a franchise to a big corporate overlord.
Nothing.
And yet, they ain’t going anywhere! Guess they’re not so bad after all. Look we can shit on stuff all we want, we’re still the minority
They are going anywhere because they have a monopoly. This is why the Invisible Hand of the free market doesn’t do anything except for flip us off.
Budweiser
Budweiser?
*croaks* Bud…

Sir?

Except… its not. Basically nothing changed for InBev. That lip-service marketing thing only generated extraordinairlly loud conservative screeching from 1% of their customer base, that ultimately amounted to a small downward jump in their stock price that hasn’t moved since.
Doesn’t count when compared to the likes of Unity who have quite literally alienated every single user of their product.
They have seen a legitimate downturn in sales across all their brands, with Bud Light suffering the most, however that’s been the case with pretty much all beer brands in general. People are just drinking less beer.
Are people drinking less beer, or just more local/craft beers? Because my experience has been the latter. I honestly don’t know anyone under the age of 40 who regularly drinks the “big name beers”, not when they have other options at least.
Talking to said friends that work at InBev, it’s less beer in general. Gotta remember that the core customer base of beer companies are people knocking back 12+ most nights of the week. Those people are (literally) dying out and (thankfully) are not really bring replaced.
Also have to remember that a fairly large portion of “local” craft breweries, at least in terms of sales volume, are owned by corporations like InBev

This is a fair point, I was a bit dissapointed when I learned that my go-to beer that I thought was from an (admittedly large) craft brewery was just an InBev subsidiary (Space Dust)
Yeah, thats overall market trends affecting sales, not a result of their choices or marketing “oops” (that wasn’t even an oops, nobody other than inbred homophobic fag-haters gave a rats ass about that campaign)
What people don’t understand is how absolutely fucking huge AB InBev is. Just scroll through their list of subsidiary brands for a second. They have over 400 individual brands under their control, they don’t give a damn if you stop buying Bud Light. Guarantee almost every single conservative boycotter switched to another beer brand owned by InBev and didn’t even realize it lmfao. They were never in any danger.
Im from the STL area, have a couple friends that work there. They’ve pretty much confirmed exactly that. In fact, there was a short spike in sales revenue because half the ones switched to more expensive InBev brands.
Probably not unexpectedly, BL saw virtually no downturn in sales in STL

My uncle was literally complaining about Bud Light being “Woke” while drinking a Space Dust at a family gathering when all this was still fresh lol. I chose to not say anything for comedy reasons lol
Budweiser has always been a crappy water-beer. That is kind of its selling point.
Lol. No. Y’all just got taken for fools.
