@@theenzoferrari458 That's the one that sold out in 46 minutes and they ran some 103 batches of preorders due to extreme demand, right? Or, are you talking about the 30th Anniversary Edition that sold out 12.300 copies of (some ~70,000 total products between the various combos) "before most people could refresh the page and reconnect"?

Teslas back in the days used to come with free use of Tesla's charging stations. When those older cars are sold on the used market, the free charging privilege follows neither the owner nor the vehicle, but is instead revoked by Tesla. About a week ago, Tesla lost a lawsuit by Norwegian consumers for reducing charging speeds through a software update. The update was reportedly a safety measure to prevent fire hazard. Turns out, customers expect their cars to both have the advertised charging speed AND not spontaneusly catch fire.
wikipedia fits on this list as well. They forced out the original team over time to fill it with activists who werent free speech absolutists. Theyve talked about it in interviews quite a bit. But then still beg for money despite censorship and moderations mostly leaning one way. Its just some pages arent in the per view of the politics and never get too affected.
and what they do legally will never stop unless people stop buying or consooming their whole zeitgeist. People know this and still make the decision to do so. I havent bought a nintendo prodicut in a long time and even longer directly from nintendo. Its one thing if its 2nd hand and the owner makes some profit.
Tesla … Don’t forget the 1,000 people who EACH gave Tesla $250,000 almost 7 years ago for a car that was supposed to be out by now and still is nowhere near coming out. One day the Tesla Roadster may happen … but not this year.
They didn't pay 250K, the final price back then was promised to be 250K. The preorder price itswlf that they paid was much lower than that. Still not good, but it's not like they took hundreds of thousands of dollars from people for something they didn't do anything for
It feels like there should be a huge class action lawsuit demanding refunds to the "Full Self Driving" feature that has never been delivered. I you purchased it 8 years ago (2016) and it still isn't implemented, I'm pretty sure most people would agree that Tesla is guilty of fraud.
Adobe is one company that I would like to see Techquickie do an expose on. I hate the way one is forced into a subscription. And then when you want to stop using their products you're forced to pay for the full year. Highway robbery.
In America Cancelling it has gotten way easier but they ask you are you sure you want to cancel and it says on this date it will Cancel since you have already paid for it
Adobe - Not much more needs saying, this is a video in its self. Unity - Worth at least a historical footnote. Steam - recent forced change of Terms to accept fewer legal options. Every software company with no perpetual license option on software that isn't fundamentally a service. Microsoft - Recall among everything else. Apple - On warranty and right to repair. - This is getting silly, do a video on companies that have never screwed over their customers.
Unity has worked well for me as an indie dev. Basically, the software has been free for me to use. They also went back on the runtime fee after listening to user complaints. And their $200,000 threshold for needing a paid license is fair. No company is "perfect", but they should not be mentioned among other companies like Adobe or Autodesk which you can't even use without paying a monthly fee.
@@thebasketballhistorian3291 They did go back on their runtime fee, but not after listening to user complaints. They ignored and dismissed user complaints. When their stock price halved in months, the c-level management team was replaced, and they went back on the runtime fee as an effort to repair that damage. Their interests are not the user anymore. I've not used it for more than experiments over the years, but I've been watching them since they first emerged - their mission to democratize development was once genuine, it's not been for many years now. Now don't get me wrong, the product is good, but the act of introducing a runtime fee and then retro-actively changing their terms, to apply to any historical version, is probably not even legal - any they have flirted with a subscription model with difficult exit in the past (I went through it), they absolutely deserve a mention among the other companies I mentioned.
Valve is dealing with their own non lethal shitshow related to their old and new TOS and forcing prices to never be below steams pricing, and if you dont release on steam your game aint gunna do well.
You missed Nnitendo's greatest copyright mishap. Last year it issued a copyright strike on itself! This happened when the European headquarters had an advertising video created and published on UA-cam. Ninteno's legal team issued a copyright strike and takedown request for a video that had been made at the request of its own advertising department.
Yeah. It doesn't matter that emulation has been legally protected as a way to backup media, and the devz kept things on the up and up with it. Big companies can afford frivolous lawsuits, while regular people and small businesses can't.
@@InfernosReaper I didn't like it (cuz there are many non-piracy reasons people want to emulate games they own) but I understood why Nintendo did. I've seen many posts and videos of people bragging about their pirated Switch collections running on Steam Deck and computers. Basically they're both pirating games and not even buying Nintendo hardware to run them on. The fact that Nintendo doesn't go after previous gen emulators they don't sell games for anymore like the 3DS and Wii U makes me hate this less.
@@thebasketballhistorian3291 I get when they went after the guys who were charging money and releasing patches for games before they were even officially released, but going after ones who aren't doing that is objectively a problem Companies shouldn't be able to simply ignore the law just because they've got a ton of money they can afford to burn.
@@InfernosReaper its not really frivolous part of having a copyright is avidly defending it or possibly losing it, although nobodies lost one in decades for not defending it or even defending some and going after others. Japan is a different place, which its rare they actually file in the US.
Careful, Nintendo might take the ad revenue on this video, just like how Google took down a certain video for discussing alternatives to a certain monopolized video platform that they own.
How about OtherOS on the PS3. They promised never to remove this heavily advertised feature from the original fat models but did anyway claiming piracy concerns but was actually due to the amount of money they had to spend on extra software testing. Ironically, OtherOS was the one thing keeping piracy off the PS3.
Nintendo doesn't care about letting you play old titles, because they want you to be nostalgic and desperate. That way, they can hyper-monetize those feelings later (if they want to). They utterly reject the idea that they have any obligation to provide a legal way for people to access their content. They believe that it's *their* content, after all, regardless of any cultural impact.
I mean... who says they are obligated to provide a legal way for people to access their content? Well, at least, the older stuff they haven't done anything with. Switch emulation is a thing so needing a 'legal way' to play Switch games isn't exactly a problem. I'm all for the companies keeping up with their older stuff but at a certain point you have to wonder if they are actually willing to let certain things fade from memory. That said, it *is* their content ***to a degree***. You can be mad over Nintendo being over protective of their stuff but I don't think the right way to go about it is to imply they have no right to the thing they created and put out there.
@@RippahRooJizah I'm not saying that they have an obligation to make their old stuff I'm available. I'm just saying that _they_ don't think they do. And, legally speaking, they're right. But it's still shitty to actively block people from engaging with decades of cultural legacy purely so you can _maybe_ bilk them for cash later. As consumers, we shouldn't put up with it. I stopped buying Nintendo games because they don't respect their customers.
@@RippahRooJizah pirating old nintendo games is just the right thing to do. For example, i have already bought Ocarina of Time four times, so i can morally pirate it as much as i want
@@JamesTM I mean, I agree people shouldn't have to put up with it. That said, that kinda goes for Nintendo's end as well. Ultimately I just wish more people knew what they were doing in a more proper context pertaining to emulation and Nintendo. There are some things that, yes, they are being pricks for. Some things that, yes, are in their legal right. But then you have cases like Yuzu where I just shake my head and go "Hey, thanks for proving Nintendo correct in their mindset."
my mother was unintentionally signed up for Prime despite saying No... Twice. And we had to contact them 3 TIMES EACH to actually cancel because the canceling process was even more confusing, and for us, just broken over the web for some reason.

True, even if Sony failed massively with concord at least they done the right thing to port their older games to pc unlike nintendo who not only refuse to do so but also angry when people emulate it,
How about that guy that Nintendo sent to jail and then took 20% of his paycheck for the rest of his life because he commited the terrible crime of... *checks notes* enabling people to do what they want with a device they own.

I remember that. They sold gruel powder in some poor country and used the same advertising used in the US and Europe showing healthy fat happy babies. But the powder was rather expensive and the water often not all that clean. So a lot of babies got gruel made with to little powder and nasty water. Not a good idea and there were a lot of babies who died from that. I remember that Fanta was also involved in something similar. Parents bought Fanta for their babies as they saw the pictures of healthy kids drinking it. Again it was expensive and not even in normal use healthy for growing kids with a limited food intake. But the pictures fooled people to think it would make them healthy and happy. Not sure of the nation or exactly when but I think it was in the 60's or early 70's as I remember my mother talking about how horrible Coca-Cola company was as they had marketed Fanta to starving people and fooling them with advertising it like some magic happy juice. I'm also guessing it was either in Africa or possibly in some south American country.
Microsoft never claimed it. It was just something a Microsoft employee, Jerry Nixon, said once at a developer conference in May of 2015. Quote /"Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10."/ He said "last" when he should've said "latest". The official release of Windows 10 was in July 2015.
The thing is though is Microsoft Employee said it so they can still release however many more they want to release because to them its just another Employee
I would never trust Tesla’s Full Self Driving for these 2 reasons: 1. It doesn’t use LiDAR 2. The training data comes from Tesla drivers. Which are horrible drivers. So they are giving the system a horrible baseline. We need self driving systems like Waymo.
Remember kids, only negociate with what's on the table. If something is hidden (in some kind of way) by the seller, then it's out of the equation. Never negociate on promises (except if you have the contract and insurance that goes with it). Same logic applies to buy stuff. You negociate/accept the price only on what you see and are presented with. not on futur patches or updates. Same logic if you invest in stocks or in a companty, or if you vote for a politician or a party. Actions speak louder than words !
Of the three, FSD is the only plausible one. They have had rather interesting pricing, but it’s on a high end feature that is new technology and not required to drive the car.
Nintendo's habit of patenting everything that could possibly be in a video game, no matter how mundane, like "having shadows" simply for the potential legal ammunition is similarly bullshit, which the Japanese government is fully complicit in.
@@Razear just curious. How is it anti-consumer to protect your own IP? That’s what their lawsuits are primarily about. Is it anti-consumer to make beloved games for 38 years? Their hardware has been high quality. Their pricing has been good. The quality of their games has been exceptional.
I don't htink Elon Musk is intentionally promising things he knows he cannot deliver on, i think he really thinks he can get there in the right time, but that that is also if EVERYTHING goes right and fast in the best fast way possible the first time around, which is a pipe dream really. And yes, that can be good, positive thinking is good, keeps you going for longer and enthousiastic etc. But can also be very bad, because it almost never goes that way, so you over promise. There's also often "you don't know what you don't know".
I dont think nintendo will ever realize that if game is not worth to buy but worth to pirate, there are something seriously wrong with the game or the way the dev or publisher treat the game . Today there are far more serious thing to worry about than piracy like game
Please make a video about how gaming companies ban users without explaining why they got banned. I got banned from Apex Legends without explanation or the ability to defend myself. I had a over 1000$ invested account, never cheated and still got banned for no reason. Thanks :-)
I think Microsoft did us all a dis-service. Too numerous to mention them all. Today's O/S from them is a continuous Ad. Always wanting to sell you something, instead of being a great O/S.
Nintendo's legal team is full of people that just don't get it. Many of their questionable legal threats don't even benefit the company in any way, it just harms the connection to their community and their image. Nintendo isn't losing any money because people are playing a 20 year old game on emulators that hasn't even been available to buy for over a decade, yet they threaten people that celebrate Nintendo's games, people that are part of an enthusiastic community that is basically free promotion for Nintendo. People at Nintendo don't get that people celebrating Nintendo's games and doing cool stuff with them are free promotion for Nintendo's brands. If only they didn't themselves destroy their brand image again.
I am still mad at Sony for advertising the OtherOS feature of the PS3, waiting for people to buy the console to use it, then completely disable it with updates. I have not purchased a PS4, or PS5. I won't purchase a PS6 either. Sony has cemented me in the PC only gamer category.
Nintendo often used its organized crime connections from the days of card manufacturing to try and illegally muscle american merchants to prevent them from charging prices different than msrp. It was quite the scandal among distributors and stores.
I would love to see a video devoted to how shit Nintendo's legal bullshit is. How many youtubers were shut down? It's up to tens of thousands now right? Small channels got blown away with 3 strikes almost overnight with no way to dispute.
Google stadia The Google promised the world sold Hardware and and then close the program sticking people with useless Hardware. And this is not the only time Google has killed a hardware program

Not necessarily company to consumer and technically not tech, but if a funny lawsuit is what you want to talk about. How about covering the Crunchyroll spying on people lawsuit lol. For those unaware a lady watched some anime on CR. She then proceeded to go to Facebook afterwards where she saw targeted ads pertaining to the animes she just watched. I would assume she was using the same browser which had cookies from the URL's of the animes she watched and Facebook used those cookies to advertise to her. She alleged that the only way Facebook would have knowledge she watched those animes was that CR was selling her info without her consent and started a class action lawsuit against them. CR not wanting to deal with the trouble of handling the court case settled which alot of people took to admitting guilt ( CR denied of course). Anyone who read / skimmed and may be familiar with the case. What are your thoughts? Do you think there actually was merit in the case? As I said i think it was from her browser history / cookies that Facebook pulled from and CR had no ties to what she experienced ( or unrelated to a certain degree) that day, but I am not white knighting for the company and will admit they have done shady things in the past.
Wow! Nintendo behaving like disks? This is new! Who could have ever seen this coming? The Great Giana Sisters It is so out of character for them! And yet people keep buying their stuff.

Nintendo is a Japanese company after all, and Japanese game companies have an extreme and difficult to understand tradition. They will banning any unofficial promotion of their games, whether it be live streaming or otherwise, in order to “preventing spoilers”.

Not sure of the nation or exactly when but I think it was in the 60's or early 70's as I remember my mother talking about how horrible Coca-Cola company was as they had marketed Fanta to starving people and fooling them with advertising it like some magic happy juice. I'm also guessing it was either in Africa or possibly in some south American country.
Why is nobody holding Microsoft responsible for claiming Windows 10 would be the last Windows ever?
For many users it is the last version of Windows.
Microsoft never claimed it. It was just something a Microsoft employee, Jerry Nixon, said once at a developer conference in May of 2015. Quote /"Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10."/ He said "last" when he should've said "latest". The official release of Windows 10 was in July 2015.
The thing is though is Microsoft Employee said it so they can still release however many more they want to release because to them its just another Employee
@@bgezal Didn't they also advertise it as the last Version of Windows? I believe I remember something like that.
@@Roflolmao08 They didn't. It was all distorted in tech magazines.
You can technically play meelee online by having one player host and other use parsec to connect to your setup, just make sure you are dongled up.
Maybe full self driving was a guy dressed as a robot in spandex dancing around all along.
Love the engagement experiment of sticking different evil billionaires into the thumbnail!
I'd like a part 2 of this, so much more to talk
3 times? Like every day, every hour, every second
I'd love for y'all to talk about planned obsolescence in the tech industry and what we can do to fight it!
This would be an interesting series. Do a 4 min video once per day. It probably be a few months before you caught up to present day
what about youtube bulling users into premium with multiple unstopable long ads everywhere and now even rising prices for nothing
One of the latest ones: digital video "ownership", Redbox
I would never trust Tesla’s Full Self Driving for these 2 reasons:
1. It doesn’t use LiDAR
2. The training data comes from Tesla drivers. Which are horrible drivers. So they are giving the system a horrible baseline.
We need self driving systems like Waymo.
"Beloved by quite a few people", Nintendo, ah yes just the right time when they nuke our beloved ryujinx.
How about apple going "green" by not giving their users a charger or, pretty much anything?
Remember kids, only negociate with what's on the table. If something is hidden (in some kind of way) by the seller, then it's out of the equation. Never negociate on promises (except if you have the contract and insurance that goes with it).
Same logic applies to buy stuff. You negociate/accept the price only on what you see and are presented with. not on futur patches or updates.
Same logic if you invest in stocks or in a companty, or if you vote for a politician or a party.
Actions speak louder than words !
Negotiate**
I thought you guys were gonna mention the roadster when you pulled up Tesla lol 😂
Of the three, FSD is the only plausible one. They have had rather interesting pricing, but it’s on a high end feature that is new technology and not required to drive the car.
using wanting to protect your family to sell something is an horrible practice, the ad break kinda gave me the creeps ...
Nintendo's habit of patenting everything that could possibly be in a video game, no matter how mundane, like "having shadows" simply for the potential legal ammunition is similarly bullshit, which the Japanese government is fully complicit in.
They could make this a weekly or bi-weekly series.
It could be like a super condensed version of the wanshow?
Apple makes every single thing their devices touch proprietary, and people still buy it. Talk about the power of marketing.
I think the Iliad reference is because Jason gets lost in it. Not that the work itself is long
You forgot about Adobe
4:00 The Iliad's companion piece? The Odyssey. Would have been too on the nose!😂
Nintendo and litigation is a match made in gamer hell. Might be one of the most anti-consumer companies ever.
@@Razear just curious. How is it anti-consumer to protect your own IP?
That’s what their lawsuits are primarily about.
Is it anti-consumer to make beloved games for 38 years? Their hardware has been high quality. Their pricing has been good. The quality of their games has been exceptional.
ea is more anti-consumer than nintendo
A consumer BUYS their products.
Nintendo is anti pirate
I don't htink Elon Musk is intentionally promising things he knows he cannot deliver on, i think he really thinks he can get there in the right time, but that that is also if EVERYTHING goes right and fast in the best fast way possible the first time around, which is a pipe dream really.
And yes, that can be good, positive thinking is good, keeps you going for longer and enthousiastic etc.
But can also be very bad, because it almost never goes that way, so you over promise. There's also often "you don't know what you don't know".
I wonder why the thumbnail was changed from Jeff Bezos to Elon Musk 🤔
They probably AB tested the thumbnails an Elon got a higher click through rate
I dont think nintendo will ever realize that if game is not worth to buy but worth to pirate, there are something seriously wrong with the game or the way the dev or publisher treat the game . Today there are far more serious thing to worry about than piracy like game
Please make a video about how gaming companies ban users without explaining why they got banned. I got banned from Apex Legends without explanation or the ability to defend myself. I had a over 1000$ invested account, never cheated and still got banned for no reason.
Thanks :-)
"I had a over 1000$ invested account"
They did you a favor.
@@tim3172 Well i really liked this game and what they have done but now i just wish they will go bankrupt
3 companies that screwed us, and another that will.
I think Microsoft did us all a dis-service. Too numerous to mention them all. Today's O/S from them is a continuous Ad. Always wanting to sell you something, instead of being a great O/S.
Nintendo's legal team is full of people that just don't get it. Many of their questionable legal threats don't even benefit the company in any way, it just harms the connection to their community and their image. Nintendo isn't losing any money because people are playing a 20 year old game on emulators that hasn't even been available to buy for over a decade, yet they threaten people that celebrate Nintendo's games, people that are part of an enthusiastic community that is basically free promotion for Nintendo. People at Nintendo don't get that people celebrating Nintendo's games and doing cool stuff with them are free promotion for Nintendo's brands. If only they didn't themselves destroy their brand image again.
Screwed? Past tense? I have a feeling Nintendo isn't done yet...
I would love to see a seriEs of videos criticizing companies for their BS.
You can *always* trust companies ... to do what will make them $$$
I am still mad at Sony for advertising the OtherOS feature of the PS3, waiting for people to buy the console to use it, then completely disable it with updates. I have not purchased a PS4, or PS5. I won't purchase a PS6 either. Sony has cemented me in the PC only gamer category.
i dont even know what you are talking about i have never heard of it before and i had a PS PS2 PS3 PS4 and PS5 and the Handhelds aswell
i just looked it up OtherOS and it says it was Removed for Security Concerns
@@RedBeardedJoe Willing to spout off about how you're ignorant *and* gullible on the Internet? That's hilarious.
@@RedBeardedJoe The "Security Concern" was that people could run an emulator on linux and play games that were not PS3 games.
it ain't piracy if the corpo trying to rip you off.
Just like Louis Rossmann has explained.
Name 1 search engine that does not show illegal alternatives above genuine original? That was a short game I win.
nintendo is "beloved" by literally anyone? That is a surprise. They are an AWFUL company.
nice argument senator, why don't you back it up with a source?
Nintendo often used its organized crime connections from the days of card manufacturing to try and illegally muscle american merchants to prevent them from charging prices different than msrp. It was quite the scandal among distributors and stores.
Maybe it was because it was the mobile app but I never had an issue cancelling prime.
Stadia was an EPIC failure too 😂
Holy shit, and here i thought i was crazy because amazon prime was so hard to cancel even though i didn't even realise i signed up for it when i did!
wait you're telling me that the corporations don't have my best interests in mind?
Wow it must have been hard to pick only 3
Please do more of these. The scumbags running these companies need to be called out.
3:54 so they made the cancelation process awesome?
No
I would love to see a video devoted to how shit Nintendo's legal bullshit is. How many youtubers were shut down? It's up to tens of thousands now right? Small channels got blown away with 3 strikes almost overnight with no way to dispute.
Google stadia The Google promised the world sold Hardware and and then close the program sticking people with useless Hardware. And this is not the only time Google has killed a hardware program
Google gave refunds for the hardware and software purchased.
Dinged Tesla for saying prices will go up, then dings them again when prices go up. Some bias showing.
What about pirates getting better products than legit customers?
Aka what about DRM?
I am not sure if this is true so I am hoping to get some answers/sources, but I think there was a grant for fiber optic that companies pocketed and did not deliver on.
FSD: Fully supervised driving. No F words here because YT could get angry
Just 3???
Nintendo just killed Ryujinx
Not necessarily company to consumer and technically not tech, but if a funny lawsuit is what you want to talk about. How about covering the Crunchyroll spying on people lawsuit lol.
For those unaware a lady watched some anime on CR. She then proceeded to go to Facebook afterwards where she saw targeted ads pertaining to the animes she just watched. I would assume she was using the same browser which had cookies from the URL's of the animes she watched and Facebook used those cookies to advertise to her. She alleged that the only way Facebook would have knowledge she watched those animes was that CR was selling her info without her consent and started a class action lawsuit against them. CR not wanting to deal with the trouble of handling the court case settled which alot of people took to admitting guilt ( CR denied of course).
Anyone who read / skimmed and may be familiar with the case. What are your thoughts? Do you think there actually was merit in the case?
As I said i think it was from her browser history / cookies that Facebook pulled from and CR had no ties to what she experienced ( or unrelated to a certain degree) that day, but I am not white knighting for the company and will admit they have done shady things in the past.
yeah fuck Nintendo
You mean all those Tesla owners have not filed a class action suit against Tesla and Musk for that FSD promise?
Correction "Tesla operators" .. like your modern smart phone. Telsa operators don't truly own the vehicles they drive.
Wow! Nintendo behaving like disks? This is new! Who could have ever seen this coming? The Great Giana Sisters It is so out of character for them!
And yet people keep buying their stuff.
i like nintendo games
@@gamecubeplayer And you're allowed to. The shame is that people who continue to buy their stuff enables their anti-consumer behavior. It's the gamer equivalent of the Apple problem. Until customers start to talk the only language these companies understand, money, then they will keep doing what they're doing.
There could be a Ken Burns 10-part documentary on just Musk screwing over customers.
EA's decision to exist
I think loot boxes remains the top for me.
you dont say, you give your money to them by your own choice
RIP RYUJINX
Nintendo is a Japanese company after all, and Japanese game companies have an extreme and difficult to understand tradition.
They will banning any unofficial promotion of their games, whether it be live streaming or otherwise, in order to “preventing spoilers”.
3 times? But Apple released around 5,000 products.
Editing the video title to add "(only)" 👍
7 minuite tech quickie!
I used to love Nintendo, now it's impossible...
