Defending freedom from tyranny necessarily requires that you defend people you do not agree with and who you do not like. Anything less and you are not defending freedom, you are on the side of tyranny but too stupid to know it.
Can't tell you how many times I've read here or in c/Gaming, "Valve hasn't done anything to affect MY ability to game yet. Until it hurts ME then I don't have a problem with them."
Same. I think..... probably in 10, 15 years tops it'll primarily be some combo of online-only and microtransactions. As far as multiplayer goes it'll be so moderated that all the things that made multiplayer fun in the 90s and 2000s will be sucked out. Vendor wise, online stores will be heavily curated, games will be routinely censored or deplatformed like that Taiwanese game, and outside activity will probably be common cause to have your accounts on steam/gog/epic/et al locked. This will more than likely be fine as far as the law goes because it's the nature of digitally-delivered games that you're just paying for a license to use them.
I'm not at all hopeful with vidya. Gamers have a long-standing history of being all bark and no bite when it comes to the game companies.
Chinese hat fag turbo whale gets his comeuppance, and we're supposed to care why?

Not really. Nothing in the article infers “wrongthink”.
The irony of this gave me haemochromatosis.
