Yes yes we all know that big companies are going to do bad things, you aren't revealing new information here.

You're finding it extremely hard to understand the concepts of this conversation and still have the gall to be sarcastic and patronising. It's surprising when you're clearly misinformed.

We don't really like this whole "big companies do bad things and we should expect that and not say anything about it" thing. should we just never talk about anything because big companies are big, so do what they want.

No one's said you can't talk about it? How are you so confused? I'll break it down for you since you're obviously struggling:

Companies sell products. Companies like Sony have a tighter control on their third party hardware. Companies like Microsoft are much more lenient, but it causes cheap knockoffs to flood the market and reduce their brand value and first-party profits. Microsoft will now implement a check to control third party hardware. People on Lemmy get upset. It's hypocrisy.

You're either upset with the whole system or none of it. Getting upset the moment Microsoft does it makes no sense. At no point is anyone saying that you can't talk about it.

do you really think people are just upset now? and aren't upset when other companies do bad things?
