Small note: For the end of life. They don't have to release all server binaries. Just the API documentation and some binaries (without the libraries that they can't share) would be more than enough. (Basically extremely minimal additional work for the developer)

Alternatively, there should be visible disclaimer next to the price (We promise the game is playable until xxx). So the consumer would be informed that what they are "buying" is temporary.

Leaving this here for other people who maybe could get a bad impression about putting extra work for developers that could discriminate against indies.

What do you see as "general" topics? And why wouldn't tech talks be a part of it?

If you design a product to be intentionally difficult to repair, using subpar parts, is it not planned obsolescence? I really don't get what you are about there. Unless you require some sort of an internal clock to force brick the device to be considered planned?

Everything else is correct and I agree.

What it reeks of is Nintendo wanting to make things cheap and sell you multiple of them

That's the "apple like" planned obsolesence part I was refering to. Think about airpods for example.

The teardown doesn't touch on part serialization, although the ability to brick your device if they "feel like it" is on PAR with Apple.

Although I'm not sure we should be arguing about which of the two is shittier when both are already deep in non compliance of "modern right to repair regulations (lmao)"

The switch 2 gives out complete apple vibes. It's repairability is pretty horrid after watching the teardown guide.

Controllers will fail sooner or later and will have to be replaced. Here it will end up replacing the whole stick just due to glueing small parts of the controller.

Battery will also fail sooner than later. The whole thing yells planned absolesence...

Spent the last 3 months getting requirements for computer upgrades. After that picked out some decent laptops. (Thinkpad L and T series)

Nothing fancy, but I'm just tired of diagnosing problems with previous sysadmin purchased Vostro laptops.

After getting quotes from multiple vendors, finally got everything and sent the CEO to confirm. Guess fucking what... It got fucking denied.

"Look for cheaper laptops and replace only whats critical"

Employees are rocking 7 year old laptops with 128G SSDs! The bloody things can't even run Win 11! The whole upgrade costs less than their single "teambuilding"! I hate this these cheapskates so fucking much...

 

The Russians were so full of themselves from the start. Vatniks claiming non-stop on how they can't stop winning.

I wish all the best Ukraine bros. It's impressive beyond belief how you are managing the invasion.
