Sorry that the developers don’t cater to making life easier for people that haven’t bought their game lmao what an entitled take

I’m not disagreeing, but can anyone really be surprised? IP theft is Chinese policy 101.

Ah yes, how greedy of a company, to checks notes stop you from telling their online distribution service that you own something you don’t.

Pirate all you want, live how you want. But valve is a company, they do sorta have to follow those pesky laws and regulations.

My only complaint is my thumb hurts from air dashing 24/7

Huh, neat! Had no idea. Seems like an odd exception.

That’s not what monopoly means? The merger should absolutely be scrutinized for the potential anti-competitive ramifications, but vertical integration isn’t immediately not allowed.

I strongly encourage people who still think like OP to look up what happened the last time we paid off the national debt.

As someone that couldn’t get into modern fallout games, but actually loved going back to 1 and then 2, this just sounds like 2 but worse.

I dunno, sounds like your belief doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, you’re getting pretty emotional about it

A couple generations from now, I bet this’ll be unthinkable to those who’ve only ever known lab grown meat. I can’t wait.

While I think we’d prefer a non violent solution, the answer is the national guard. The national guard would very quickly demonstrate to any police force what the difference between the two is.

It’s funny because that’s basically Leto the 2nd

Okay, but only if we compromise and you give me “balls in belt sander” level difficulty in casual games too. None of this skyrim “just double the enemy HP and damage” crap either, I want to be fighting for my fucking life trying to avoid tom nook’s bankruptcy beam.

Given that both of your examples are commonly authoritarian if not outright fascist in ideology, I’m not exactly sure they’re too interested in class solidarity?

Glad you can grandstand but “you and the inbred moron who voted for the people who enabled things to get this bad are both getting dicked, so you should accept their opinions as respectable” is not the slam dunk argument you think it is.

Why would they design it to be any better if you’re still willing to pay for it?

As a general rule, if you’re hearing about something from the news, it’s already too late to profit from it.

This might be the exception, but I’d temper any expectations accordingly.

Sorta, but that’s not the whole story. We have two legislative bodies, the House of Representatives and the Senate. In the senate, every state gets two senators. In the house, every state gets at least two representatives, plus some amount based on population - california has 52, for instance.

The original idea was to “make sure rural voices were heard”. In practice, it very much has been what you stated - if you’re educated but not rich enough to benefit from republican policies, you flee red states en masse, leaving mostly rich assholes and uneducated chucklefucks who are hurt most by the very people they elect. They then have a massively disproportionate effect on policy versus any joe schmoe in california.

Educating people is a lot easier than fixing the system. No reason we can’t try to do both.

If only there were people desperate for a better life here, alive now, perhaps in a neighboring country or even entire other continent bordering the states.
