You are putting words in my mouth. I never said I’m opposed to mod support across platforms. In fact, I wish that more games would do this. I looked into mod.io for a bit and have to apologise, though. It seems I fell for the privacy concern myth, if you can call it that.

I still oppose some implementations of it. The game “Ready or Not” especially is atrocious with its mod.io implementation. You can only install + enable, or uninstall mods there. No disable option what so ever. Really fun with mods that are multiple GB in size, like maps.

Bu-but muh free games, tho?

• Dimwits, probably

Worse is, that Epics Spyware finds its way onto Steam releases as well with their online services… And don’t get me started on other cancer like mod.io

That’s a weird way of writing Warlords. Besides, we already pay our african friends with our tax money.

And what about pedestrians? Are they getting fucked over as always or does this Goolag shite include people with functioning legs as well?

Assuming that Goolag is a US business, I guess it probably doesn’t… You know what would solve emission problems in the big cities, though? Getting rid of private cars and instead investing in busses, trams and subways. Trying to “cure” the symptoms won’t get us far if the main problem still persists.

And I still don’t give a damn! There are two scenarios in case of sponsors.

1. The creator already got paid for the ad before the video. or
2. The creator is payed by percentage of their affiliate link.

It doesn’t matter if I skip for number one, obviously. Number two could be an argument. But 99% of those sponsors are borderline scams anyway, so I really don’t care, because I will never buy something off a sponsorship like that. Not NordVPN (which still tracks you btw…), nor Raid, nor any other crap.

Additionally, SponsorBlock also gets rid of those annoying reminders to “like and subscribe” barely a second into the video, and other such annoyances like fillers or those dumb spoilers that show the best parts of the video right at the start.

SponsorBlock isn’t the issue. It is a symptom of Googles unfathomable greed and the creators/consumers collective Stockholm Syndrome. I value my time more, than hearing the same five sentences about World of Tanks, Raid or any other braindead “game” repeated 500 times.

The only sponsors I don’t skip are the ones from InternetHistorian. He at least puts effort in and makes it fun to watch.
