I don’t think anyone here is arguing. This is just what a complex conversation looks like.

The age rating is standard across packaging and in plain language.

My points are not invalid if you use a screen reader or a font size extension.

Different person, but isn’t this already a problem with closed source games? My game dev experience is more hobbyist than professional, but I’ve spent a few lonely hours on ghidra. I also teach secure coding at my university, but I focus more on how to patch legacy systems and audit code for vulnerabilities. My point is that closed source vs open source, I see this as an issue in both systems and therefore irrelevant. Pardon my ignorance on this exact topic.

You aren’t addressing any other point. But sense you seem particularly hung up about this fact, how do you feel about that being literally the smallest text written on the box art? Again, I say that is intentionally misleading. Is it legal? Not sure, for now they are getting away with it, but I do feel like that will change eventually. However, I’d be shocked to hear any genuine argument on how this isn’t designed specifically to mislead people.

Personally, this feels like that bit in Seinfeld- “Hey, this ain’t a wizard! It’s a Willard!”

How am I as a regular consumer supposed to know what a game key card is? And yes, the non-standardized one off example of a company using a non-plain language description completely destroys the argument that this is anti-consumer and intentionally deceptive. Clearly everyone wants a game keycard inserted in order to play a digital game that if they had bought with an explicit code or completely online wouldn’t be required. It’s also great that completely digital download that takes many gigabytes of storage on my device becomes unplayable the moment I lose the game key. That way, I get the worst of both worlds! I have to be responsible with keeping track with physical media, and I have a massive drain on my devices storage space.

Just look at this Game Key Pass game sold through target. Note how the description says that it is a physical copy, and the specification notes that it is a physical copy. The only reason you may even suspect that this is game-key card that requires a download is if you happen to look at one of the cover art screenshots without alternative text. The fast food industry has been getting wrecked by that sort of oversight for a couple of years now.(Links available on request, but currently on mobile, so lazy)

The box and packaging makes it look like you are buying a physical game that will play for years after Nintendo turns off their servers. If someone wanted to buy a download key, they could buy the little cardboard scratch off things. Packaging it as if you were actually buying physical media is intentionally misleading.

You are thinking of y’all, which is a southern American slang contraction of “you all.” However, this person put “ya’ll,” so it’s a contraction of “ya will.”

Either way, neither really fits on the context of the sentence. I wish they had just said poor addicts if that’s who they meant to imply. Shame on me for projecting if I’m misinterpreting.

I had no idea “game key cards” were a thing until this comment sent me down a rabbit hole. What a total scam! Clearly deceptive and anti-consumer. I’m surprised there hasn’t been a class action lawsuit yet. Maybe most are ignorant like myself.

This reminds of a Robot Chicken bit about working with Darth Vader.

Conversations about AI aside for a moment, God bless random trade dudes making YouTube videos. Thanks to them, I’ve learned about 80% of most jobs can be picked up with minimal training.

Thank you!

I’m confused by that last sentence. Does mean that the bug stems from patching a 23-year old vulnerability, or that the bug is because of a patch made to fix the vulnerability 23 years ago?

Does anyone know if Audacity 4.0 allows for more recording tracks at a time? Last I tried, it could only record to a single stereo track at a time.

I’m from a region with snake handlers and it is fascinating! Highly encourage anyone reading this to look more into it.

There is a pretty significant portion of America Christians who believe than any translation besides the 1611 King James version of the Bible is blasphemous, nevermind that they are probably reading the 1769 version, but what matters is what think is the 1611 version.

Super cool research! However, it says that the genetic marker is only in 3.5% of patients, so it may be better to say that they found “a” cause rather than “the” cause. But that’s still ok because that could eventually translate to cures or at least enhanced treatment for many thousands of people!

But since automobiles use it and bicyclist don’t, the point is that makes it more car infrastructure not bicycle infrastructure
