  • Well, as I said in another comment below, I didn’t start with just blocking them. They don’t just do it to me, they do it to anyone who disagrees with their behavior. I’ve seen them be snarky to others, I’ve seen them just downvote and not say anything. They do both. I just block them immediately now because they’re not worth arguing with - they won’t ever change, so why would I bother?

    My problem isn’t reposts from ML, that’s their go-to response but they repost everything from everywhere. My problem is their dozens of accounts. Why can’t they just use one account so other users like me can just block them? They’re evading people’s blocks under the guise of “promoting instances”, even though I guarantee the vast majority of users don’t even know the post is from cm0002, let alone pay enough attention to read what instance the cm0002 account is on.






  • I mean, sure. But I think you might be underestimating the infrastructure costs. They aren’t just using a few 10GB switches. They also aren’t just using a single data center to store and deliver games. Then, you have to consider all of the redundancies involved, the contractors, the data center contracts, etc. Even if they don’t have their own DCs, AWS or Azure at this level is $$$$$$.

    Storing, transferring, and hosting at this scale is not cheap by any means. It makes GameStop’s tech infrastructure look like peanuts in comparison.
