Oh, that’s absolutely horrible that they designed it that way. 🤮

Worth that at least before you start looking at different hardware.

Otherwise, it’s the same thing if you have a smart TV, download the Jellyfin app, and then just completely stop it from being able to connect anywhere else.

If you’re happy with the Roku hardware and you’re going to cancel all your other streaming services, why not just firewall block the Roku from reaching out of your local network?

If you do that, Jellyfin will still work fine, and you won’t have the ability to get posted ads or anything else from the Roku, so it’ll just become a Jellyfin box.

I think the saddest part is that if BYD could be imported into America, it’d probably still be cheaper with the 20% tariff.

I mean, all this says is people are going to be people and unfortunately the vast number of people are terrible.

This coming from game journalism, which has just turned into a mouthpiece and constantly been used to lie about how good games are.

Funny how the date of this article comes out around the time that Amazon is failing, Epic is failing, Ubisoft is failing, and they’re failing because they hate the people that they sell their products to, and they refuse to be user-friendly and user-focused.

Steam isn’t perfect, but the reason why they’re a monopoly is they actually give a shit about gamers, unlike all of their competition.

Gamers aren’t a product, they’re a user, and Steam understands that offering the voice to those people makes their product what it is. The more users they have, the more money they make. They don’t need to nickel and dime and squeeze.

This is something that every single competitor they have had has just blatantly ignored.
