You flour already has bugs in it, FYI. There’s an acceptable amount of insect parts in all mass manufactured foods.

I wouldn’t be so sure if that. It’s possible, yeah, but if my theory is right they see the library sharing as the carrot to get normies to download the plex app onto their roku or apple TV.
Pivoting to a streaming only app would close off that avenue for user acquisition permanently.
I was trying to think how Plex thinks this is going to play out, knowing that this move will piss off their customer base. Then I realized, this isn’t a play for Plex’s existing customer base. This is a play for their customer’s “friends and family” that are enjoying shared libraries already.
Their ‘customer’ base has for many many years been developing a large user base of technologically naive people with Plex apps installed who could never run their own server. If Plex knows, for example, that for every paying customer there’s three other users pulling from someone’s library, that’s a huge opportunity for them to convert those users to paying customers.
Everyone that set up a Plex server and then shared it with your tech-phobic parents, cousins, friends, etc… We made this possible.
I don’t like it but I can’t argue with the logic from Plex here.

I can get back to doing what I love, shitposting maps.
Nature is so strange and beautiful.
They’ve removed plenty of games. At least so far, there’s always been notice a few weeks before they leave and the game remains in the store for purchase.
I’ve actually bought a few games on steam because I could try them on gamepass. No man’s sky, last call bbs, and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night come immediately to mind.
I have gamepass and it’s fine. Large library, no penalty for choosing a stinker means I can experiment with games I wouldn’t have before, and I can still buy games if I want. I think that’s a reasonable middle ground that benefits everyone to some degree.
The internet is still young.
In what world is 40 years “young”?
This is going to make it impossible for any technical help communities to take root. The fact that the whole thing can just go poof completely turns me off from using something like that.
Any random person is at least a hundred times more ethical than mark Zuckerberg.
Good. People should delete all of their Meta accounts.
My point is that your flour already has bug parts in it.
