It's only funny because it's a blue screen(a very windows thing). Imagine what this will be like when a game inevitably pushes a bad kernel level anti cheat update.
When such day comes, I hope ~~prolitariat~~ gamers will unite and push back against kernel-level bullshit
I think a lot of people will have a bad day. Some will swear off PC gaming altogether and switch to console, others might look towards Linux thanks to a friend or a helpful individual online, and a small minority will understand the problem and actively avoid the companies that caused the problem.
It probably won't affect sales of the company involved too much sadly unless everyone point their fingers at the company in the news.
When the gamers rose up they elected Trump, I wouldn't hold out hopes for anti-capitalist action.
I doubt that gamers rising up and voting for Trump. Unless US political system is SO fucked. In EU upset gamers are most likely to vote for Pirate Party.
