Similarly, there’s no binding contract that says when you remove features from your software’s community edition in order to drive more profits without any added value, that I’m disallowed from criticizing you for it.
The users will have to deal with the loss of features, and you will just have to deal with the criticism.
I’m not a big fan of this sort of pseudo-philosophical contrarian fence-sitting.
I mean sure, he’s not technically wrong, but it also implies that while Developers have the freedom to perform these rug-pulls (they do), the author simultaneously wags their finger at the people who have equal freedom to react the way they have.
Developers (companies) are not entitled to be free from criticism or backlash for acting shitty.
Hmm seems everyone is living in the same reality as you though, so your comment has no substance or meaning other than some weird self-enlightened moral grandstanding.
This type of pseudo-intellectual bullshit is the exact type of thing I’m talking about lol
People are absolutely justified and allowed to criticize the greed of this company. Part of living in objective reality is that you reap what you sow. Everything you just said is not really relevant to that simple fact.
