While, yes, Steam doing this is... OK... The resale is what matters. Technically passing it on via Gog's download is "piracy", but having some sort of physical identifier for the thing makes it legal to resell.

Disappointed that gmtk doesn't address the fact that this wouldn't really be an issue with physical media because it can be re-sold and kept in a library.
it’s not a good thing for society if people can just sit around and expect others to take care of everything for them food and shelter wise
But also
A lot of the rich people don’t really do that much useful, if anything
Amazing. It's almost as though capital itself should not be the driving force of society...
to me I don’t think that should mean necessarily an escape from the “you gotta have a job” system
If you are a mother taking care of a child, is that a job?
Yeah this is true, but also money is made up? Like all animals just go in and eat food, and they will regularly do so on farms, but only humans get punished for it. Humans get kept away from food which they need to survive for purely social reasons.
Like imagine an alien looking down on us and for them money is totally arbitrary and they're all "wait what are those humans even doing? Like there's food right there and they are stopping the hungry humans from eating it, but they don't seem to mind as much when it's other animals...
So for me, the really screwed up thing about statements about money is that a bunch of people have just... forgotten? that money is made up? Like the old statement "people can sooner imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism".
So this person is going into a Discord with a moderator, speaking a different language to the one used in the discord, and then calling the mod a racist? Sorry man I'm with the mod on this one.
This is probably even true in the philosophy sense. Basically instead of a single lever, each of us gets a lever which might change something or might not, or it might do something unrelated. This means that everyone's responsibility for that decision is dithered. This sort of rewrites the trolley problem. How does it change the philosophy? No idea.
I'll settle for property damage. That's my final offer.
The status quo: Yay!
Activists: The new tactic is murder.
The status quo: Oh no!
I think the author / article muddies the concepts of "horizontal" and "organised", and I guess also leaves the obvious question unanswered: Why means? Because we've seen what happens when we pursue ends, over and over again.
...disappeared...
I wonder where they went...
Holy shit is that serious or a meme?
