What about web hosting these days? Time was you’d get email as part of that deal, with your own custom domains. Have they farmed that out to services like Gmail etc?

Agreed. This is wrong.

The way I see it, they have us over a barrel. Unless there’s law on the books that says you can’t do that, your recourse is to pay for email or setup your own mail server. Good luck getting others to trust that though. I guess you could pay for a 3rd party cert.

Do you pay for email? If so this is wrong. If not, it’s how you pay for email.

They will lose some money, with the consequences of a recession, only to gain it back through corporate welfare and a return to business as usual as the recession ends.

It’s not like they’re going to go broke. They’ll just lose some millions over the vast gains made with bad behavior, get bailed out with tax money from the little people, and do it again in 10-20 years after regulators retire or get replaced with ones sympathetic to business.

That feels like pure evil. Lots of betrayal potential!

Darn straight!

Well, if we’re being honest it’s only the first play through. On new game plus you better believe I’m going full evil.
