Reality: you can get to S rank only doing 4 pools, proxy gates or BBS.

How can MS make it better when they delibaretely make Windows worse with every release?

I expect SC 3 by 2030 optimized for dumbphones.

There are a few options left to run it worse than Blizz and ActiBlizz.

Shutting down ladder for example.

Maybe just the final push every1 needs to get to ShieldBattery.

They won't make it better dude, wheres the money in it. It's gonna be something like xbox exclusives and maybe they'll pair the xbox monthly sub with WoW or something so you can play it on your xbox lol. Get all the blizztards hooked on the xbox store.

I do find it hilarious how Windows is somehow worse with every release, yet no one is installing old versions of windows. If every version is worse, why aren't you using W98?

You could say every new version of windows is worse AT release, which is definitively true, but they are very good at fixing up their problems over time

Ever heard of security breaches that don't get fixed anymore because microsoft doesn't support those old operating systems anymore? To me that sounds like a pretty strong reason to move on regardless of whether the new release is better or worse... And yes, the new windows versions do improve on some aspects everytime. I think the point is that they also make a significant portion of features worse than in the previous iteration...

I'm not sure there is a single feature in win10 that is worse than win98. Security is just one of many, many things that have improved over time. Does anyone even remember how fucked up drivers were back then? If anyone still has some kind of nostalgia for earlier windows versions, I implore you to install it and see how well you fare. They were good for their times, but by modern standards they're absolute shitboxes

Win11 sure have some things that are worse than 10, but it's also still early. I recon in half a year's time I'll probably make the switch and never look back, like literally every other release

Cuz old versions are incompatible with newer version of Windows... I requested 7 to be reinstalled on my PC and got 10 instead and I hate it... Just cuz it has some better specs that does not mean it's a lean machine like the older versions and don't even get me started on the bloatware and bullshitware that wants me sign in every MS BS service there is... I hate it.

I'm also forced into using win10, and it keeps bugging me to install windows 11 every time i boot up which is incredibly annoying.
I wanted windows 7 installed, that was a great OS, but they couldn't sell me that on this pc.
