Why bother disabling cdrom drivers in the first place? It comes with the kernel for decades and costs virtually nothing to load.
Free good publicity for “fixing” it.
Good publicity from… having a bug?
How’s this a bug?
And cd support is the current hot issue with gaming. It’s free publicity, not many people know about it being already available and they artificially limited it. So even if people know and get it out there, the publicity generated is far more positive and washes that out.
This is a common marketing tactic. They look like the good guys for adding a feature that was “requested”. Because of course people are gonna bring it up with everything going on.
Still clearly is now an intended feature, that yeah I’d even consider it being overlooked as a bug.
Assuming every single thing they do is a calculated, profit driven decision is like blaming all your bad luck on the devil, without proof youre just swatting imaginary faries.
I’d be insanely surprised if like 1 TV commercial would market leagues above “some company most old people don’t recognise changed something about a thing most people don’t know how works. The company claims its a positive”.
