Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

And then all the users then hate people making money from that too. They just expect everything for free.

Where does it say any of that?

But that’s not what OP did at all? The truth didn’t come out, Chloroken hair made something up.

StarCraft was one of my favorite games growing up. I can still quote most of the Terran units.

I don’t know when or where to say they officially went from “Good with issues” to “Bad with some good games”. Doesn’t help they ignored their work culture for over a decade.

I agree they’re better. I am also blinded a tad, they made Team Fortress 2, my all time favorite game.

But they’re better for now. There’s nothing stopping them from changing their ways when Gabe retires/dies. Maybe they have a private agreement/contract for the next guy to abide by. Maybe they don’t.

All I know is, Valve is mostly good right now. All major players in the tech space had some good intentions at one point (except Facebook). Google used to be about finding content on the internet quickly, easily, and without ads. Now they hide content, spam you with ads and fake overviews, and fight ad blockers.

Let’s not forget Valve started the microtransaction hell of gaming with their crates in Team Fortress 2. It worked so well they made the game free for more people to buy more crates. Blizzard’s Overwatch didn’t make you buy a key to open them, Valve still does.

Will Valve turn evil overnight? Probably not. But when Gabe is gone, the next billionaire will be as greedy to start with. They’re far from the greediest gaming company, but they probably won’t roll back any of their percentage cuts or ease off on the gambling in their games.

And I’ll just have to sign and shake my head as I told people that trusting a company you like remaining a company to like isn’t a good thing in a world like ours.

If you made people’s nostalgia, they will defend you.

Nintendo has defenders. Disney has defenders. Blizzard has defenders. And so on.

People will defend a company for free because they did something cool ~20 years ago.

Just pay for bad software! That solves all problems.

This dude has previously defended Microsoft, you can ignore their opinions. They defend companies for free.

He claims the mod removing them was wrong, and then proves them right in the same timeframe. Normal behavior.

“No I’m not angry, the mod was wrong in removing my comments. Btw die alone and forgotten.”

You’re really proving the point of everyone around you.

My real position is crystal clear and I am happy to stand by it.

Your opinion is to limit speech that calls out ethnic cleansing, using the law as a defense for the opinion.

Probably not, you are on the anarchist instance, supporting obeying authoritarian laws. They aren’t.

Complying and capitulating in advance with authoritarian laws to aid in covering up discussions of genocide isn’t, however.

But why do that when we can do collective punishment, which is done by Russia, Israel, North Korea, and all the famous Good Nations?

Yet.

Maybe read the post again and put yourself in the shoes of the admins and mods who do live in Germany.

Man sucks to be them. Oh well, better preemptively censor all words because its illegal! Don’t stand for what’s right!

Why are you on an anarchist instance if you are for states limiting speech?

I dare you to post it and not get banned.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

“I think Israel is commiting genocide in Palestine.”

Is this personal info that must be scrubbed?

The OPSEC of “censor discussion”? That’s not the OPSEC or solarpunk I’m familar with.

Better than supporting laws that censor support for people. Some solarpunk you are.
