Ban them.

Get rid of the entire business model. It's an abuse. Games make you value arbitrary worthless nonsense - that is what makes them games. Attaching a dollar price to that imaginary form of value is a scam.

Windows 9x was low-bullshit.

NT and 2000 were corporate enough to be no-nonsense. They belonged to the administrator, but the administrator can be you.

ME was a mistake.

XP was not yet online enough to be properly skeezy.

But from Vista onward, yeah, it's been an escalating shit-show that's difficult to miss.

Malice is not required for these decisions to become catastrophes.
