  • Monkey’s paw: They just all turn into live service games like MMORPGs.

    All future AAA launches are rental access to servers where even some of the single-player mode is run and as soon as you stop paying the monthly fee you lose access with publishers just offering an up-front deal of $80 for a year and maybe lowering that to half or a quarter of that going forward in future. (Things like live service MMORPGs are almost always exempt from these things as you can’t own the server infrastructure or code they never give you).

    Once income no longer covers server costs with adequate profit overhead they shut down the servers, hand players the encrypted server builds with no info how to run it and rather than the problem of technically owning only a license to a game but being able to crack it if necessary down the line you now have a situation where games are just lost forever and even the publisher can’t bring them back because they deleted some of the server specific data while retaining the art and basic game logic assets in case they want to make a remaster.



  • I would burn a Kkkristian flag with a cross on it in an instant and I don’t think any black person would look at that happening at a demonstration and assume “kkk”. The KKK cross burning was a very specific ritual involving construction of and burning of a physical cross standing by itself either in a yard or near people as a threat or at the center of their ritual gatherings. Backwards patriachal religions have no right to exist nor their symbols of the mythology and superstition any special right to protection when those symbols are at the front phalanxes of the hordes of hate and genocide.

    This is just bad faith hasbara tier garbage. Like saying I want to knife Christian children because I’d burn or shoot up a Nazi belt with "god with us’ on it.

    Fuck using religions as shields. Religious fascists don’t get it both ways, they don’t get to both use it, be recognized for it, receive protections for it being them and them being it and have the casual/passive support of a majority (last I checked) of the adherents of it in the west yet somehow not owners of it and somehow protected from feeling “unsafe” by incidentally destroying the symbol of their movement which they NOT I, not people against it, put on there (on the flag) as a deliberate shield to be used in just this way. And it’s shameful it works and you lean right into their troll-faced attempts at making anti-semitism hatred of pissrael.

    Don’t want it burned? Make those zionist fuckers take it off their fucking flag. Not our fucking job. Not our choice. Don’t blame us.
