Yeah so this isn’t about me. It’s about millions of lonely kids. Plenty will learn to pirate. Many won’t. I’m sure we’d see an uptick in suicides.

That’s a looot of users they’d need to support without seeing any money from them. Might be worth it if they expect the laws to be temporary.

I doubt it’ll make a difference. Also almost all my LGBTQ friends are huge gamers. It’s an escape, and often provides online community. And I’m in a very liberal country and they still need it here. Can’t imagine the need for it in China or Russia. Whether that’s healthy is a big question, but the rug pull definitely won’t be.

Are you okay with losing all your Steam games once your country also passes such a law?

Much more easy to regulate those. That’s kind of the point.

There’s a video of Epstein and Bannon talking about climate change as population control to some rich people, very casually. I’m sure it’s a widespread idea.

Crazy to think. All of moral philosophy was developed before the threat of humanity ending climate change. Used to be evil emperors at least wanted 1000 year empires for their offspring. Nobody ever even had the power to go “but I’ll be long gone by then.”

But then you need to be very careful

It’ll be a great day when that’s something big enough to worry about.
