Collective shout seems to have expanded its scope: games like cult classic Fear And Hunger have been removed from Itch.io, while horror game VILE: Exhumed has been delisted from Steam just a week after launch.

Well, this is happening earlier than I thought.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Fear and Hunger appears to be back.

If only there was a method of paying people in a private and decentralized way, possibly maybe even... cryp"SCAM!"

"SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM"

sits back down

edit: fuck American fascism! hugs the dollar for dear life

so which is it? 🤔

I think the biggest problem is getting any crypto which usually involves an exchange which is also dependent on the payment processors you are trying to avoid

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu -5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you think it happen randomly that payment processors are unavoidable to get crypto money ? Because it's clearly on purpose and a way to control a market they didn't have any leverage on.

Still the take above of "I would rather support payment processors than Cryptos" still sound super dumb to me. People are so extreme on their assessment of technologies here. There is no nuance. AI is all bad, crypto is all bad that's pretty much the tone here.

Until one emerges that's even slightly stable enough to use as a secure currency (and not a stablecoin...), there can never be the kind of broad adoption introducing an entire separate exchange paradigm to the global economy would require. And that's aside from the technical requirements that aren't met - there's no crypto network that could even come close to handling the load put on ex: the ACH, meaning awful lag on every transaction.

It's just not there yet, and pretending like extreme reactions to a comment that's both condescending and insulting to the users who disagree with you are unreasonable - or a reflection of nuanced opinions on cryptocurrencies in general- is disingenuous enough to be concerning. Surely you must see the flaws in how you're behaving here.
