6 months agoI am comparing customer bases. It really shouldn’t be that difficult to understand that.
Also…fighting a wet paper bag? That’s the best you got?

The population of just Europe, Canada and the USA is a combined is over 1 billion. I would say those are the most common countries where people pay for VPNs.
Let’s say one billion flat minus France. If just 1% of those people subscribe to a VPN at 5$/month, that’s 1.2 billion dollars annually.
Who would you rather alienate, assuming they would have to alienate one or the other?
The could also just see where you are connecting from and disable this feature for just french connections. Steam can do it for NSFW games in Germany.
Objectively speaking, France is not a good portion of their business.
I mean: with food, rent and entertainment costing twice as much as it did a few years ago, people are gonna cut their superfluous expenses to make ends meet. Why pay for Netflix, Crunchyroll, Appletv, Hulu and HBO if you can pay for a VPN?
And of course I support this 100%. Entertainment is a basic human need and people should fulfill it in whatever way they can.
Why is everything a war? Oh right empire needs to normalize war.
Also, I wonder why people would be downloading their treats for free. In this economy?!?!?!? Such a mystery.
If youtube does that, I will stop using the site and wait for a workaround to be written. You could preload the videos and cut out the ads, for example.
It’s so nice to live in the EU, where my right to block ads is protected by law.
As a European, this looks insane to me.
Capitalism working as intended though, undercutting the competition and all that.
Like I said, it’s an empty gesture. Unless Nintendo seizes the computers of all the devs, the code will live on and uploading it somewhere is very very easy.
What a useless gesture. It’s git code. So long as it remains on one machine, you can upload it to any git instance.
No one should be surprised though that GitLab is protecting their business.
I don’t care
No app should be a subscription
So selfish of people, to have a modicum of standards and to know when they are getting ripped the fuck off. So very very selfish and bad. Just pay your overlords.
