I believe the ICC does have a dispute forum. But when you get to these IGOs, it's unbelievable how many there are. Could probably bring the complaint forward in multiple other forums too.

Ah I get you, sorry, I stand corrected. Surely such a claim would come forward through the WTO though, would it not? Would the ICC (the Chamber of Commerce) have enough teeth as the forum for what's surely a monumental case?

The ICC doesn't have jurisdiction over civil matters. The ICC only has jurisdiction over the most egregious of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, on a voluntary transnational basis (you have to be a signatory country, which I believe Argentina is).

Except that a PC with modern specs costs over $2k to build. Comparing PCs to Consoles is a fools errand, yes of course it's way better, because my gaming PC also cost five times as much to build.

I bought a PS5 earlier this year that's just collecting dust. I guess I didn't realize or appreciate until after purchase that there is very few actual PS5 titles. There is no way in hell I would consider a PS5 Pro with their current library.

Yeah that's a fair point. But you should still be able to play offline. I'm not much of an online gamer anyways.

Yeah I think we've learned by now that if you can't touch it, you don't own it. I'm tired of "leasing" software.

That's happened to me with a couple of phone apps too. Its infuriating.

I'm peak subscription overload. I'm looking for ways to turf a bunch of ours, I'm currently trying to prove to my wife that our IPTV sub has everything that she needs and the Netflix/Disney/Amazon/Paramount subs can all fuck off and die. Almost there.

Next up is the bike trainer, roadside assistance, fitness and music subs. I'll keep Spotify because I like how it integrates with our car, but that's the ONLY reason.
