    this is what companies want you to think. it’s like expecting drivers to be sensible so that we can reduce deaths from traffic accidents. it’s not a solution. we have traffic lights, seat belts, all sorts of security systems and regulations on car manufacturers (though not nearly enough).

    consumer protection doesn’t happen by telling everyone to be sensible. regulation is needed.

      IDK “don’t buy Ubisoft games” is a lot more reasonable than “don’t go outside”.

        And how are you going to convince, let’s see, something like 130 million people to just go along with that plan?

        Do you actually want change or are you just bitching?

          Nah, I don’t care. People that buy games from Ubisoft know what they are in for. And since they keep buying them they seem to like it so all power to them.

      Yes…there’s enough. There’s a reason a new car costs 30k. We don’t need radar, adaptive cruise, and fucking front facing cameras (yes, thats a real thing) standard.

      I just want a heavy duty roll cage, a 200cc engine, and seat belts. All for 2k.

      (The car safety standards are a sore point for me)
