Funny enough, the main reason was that Sony wanted to push its own streaming music platform in place of CDs.

Which is now defunct. One of the most express examples of enshittification out there.

Yeah they didn't include the laser for CDs, only ones for DVDs and Blurays.

Yeah I've sadly been in spitting distance of this dude more than once and every time he's had the aura of someone covered in a thin layer of piss and slugs.

I'm glad the outcry at least got that shit taken down, but I fear the public is going to just call this a win and then we lose all momentum to push for change.

We've got to keep at them as hard as god damned possible until something actually shifts at the base.

Yup, agreed.

Feels like most religious groups should have some kind of mechanism to update their standards for behaviour, but idk how to do that without it becoming heavily political these days.

Most religious groups that don't engage in doctrinal doubt and debate at a mass clergy level never develop any kind of internal safeguard system for this kind of thing, sadly.

I ended up going 2-2 for the tourney which was fine. I genuinely misplayed in two different matches, first by forgetting Stealth Kragen's effect, then by forgetting my draws off Extreme Session.

I'm a silly duck.
