Accessibility does not always satiate demand for sexual acts, it actually sometimes increases it.
Correct. It is the same as with any psychological problem. If someone is harboring negative feelings you do not want them to continue harboring and ruminating on them. Naturally except for trannies. We've thrown out decades of practical mental health experience and decided the best way to help them is to affirm their delusions because trans rights are human rights bigot.
Nay because supply and acceptability fuels more demand, and if it's realistic and "flooding the market" there's not a good way to tell when it's real or not. You wouldn't be killing the economic demand, but you'd kill any possibility of real investigations.
That's really how it should be. I gave them money for a product. They took the product away when they decided I no longer needed it. I should be able to take my money back. It would be different if The Crew, etc. were sold as a subscription service in the first place, but some these games were sold in boxes too! Granny goes to the Old Games Shoppe and buys a game to put in grandson's stocking at Christmas and at no point in the transaction does someone say "By the way you're not actually buying anything here. Might take it away tomorrow if I'm feeling cute. Thanks for the cash."
So what? If people cheat they cheat. The people who want to keep playing either don't care or figure out their own anti-cheat detection methods. Nobody is claiming you should be able to play every MMO exactly as it was on launch forever. This is mostly about games with a large single player component, and at least being able to launch multiplayer games and still have some access to the product you bought. (possibly with end-user hacking and support needed to be really usable)
It would be like if John Deere - kings of tractors-as-a-service - sold new self-driving models that were all networked together to coordinate and tend your crops as efficiently as possible, and then after a few years they said "Our AI tractor program had a good run but we've decided to end support. All purchased tractors will cease functioning. We will be sending top men to your farms to destroy the equipment to make sure you don't try to keep using them." Naturally some of the farmers who thought they were buying a product will try to get the corporation to make their tractors drivable offline. But inexplicably uninvolved random lurkers chime in with "C'mon man how can you expect The John Deere Corporation to support you greedy farmers forever? These robo-tractors were specifically designed around satellite network connections. You expect them to loan you a satellite? What about all the proprietary IP that powers the AI on a central server and wasn't licensed for public release? Without that server connection someone could drive their tractor into a crowd of people!"
(I point out the latter not to single out you specifically, but because such comments are constantly brought up by anons when this topic is raised. As if we need to consider the publisher's feelings, or they're afraid action here could put game dev in danger despite us having multiplayer games for decades before GaaS.)
At least in America where corporate lawyers write IP law you might be right. There might be a chance in the EU or countries with actual consumer protection laws.
then you'd be the new IP owner
Well no that's not the alternative at all.
Is this it?
DOOM Eternal's Unapologetic Western Masculinity
And here's the revised follow-up someone reuploaded: How DOOM Eternal Speaks to Westernkind
Keep circulating the tapes!
You would think that's the problem from reading critics on reddit and shit but the funny thing is Masterson is ComicsGate adjacent with his friendly bants with EVS, though he acts like he's above it all. Rekieta's descent was drug-fueled so it's less surprising in hindsight.
It's really weird. The critics brought up some legitimate quality/integrity issues for clicks, but by and large Eric's efforts have only helped the indie scene. He's not stealing sales from Cyberfrog or anything. It sounds like Masterson and friends would rather be lolcows than comicspros.
Aren't you essentially asking "Why does God let bad things happen to good people?!" question commonly posed by Sunday school children and atheists? If you just want to engage in philosophical theology banter, a dedicated Christian forum or even Christianity Stack Exchange would work better.
It's like all the people asking "how did they do this?!" never listened to Mr. DNA. (to be fair I forgot they used VIRTUAL REALITY DISPLAYS for extreme sciencing)
Sure but her positions are usually longer than a month. I just signed up for the "Autopilot" app that does the tracking for you. There's also the Berkshire-Hathaway fund (BRK.B?) that Warren Buffet was at. He praised Trump's tariff moves by the way.
Obviously a MAGA supporter emboldened by Trump's tyranny.
