One of the games that was removed was a horror game about a stalker, which was made to raise awareness of sexual violence. Is that a rape game?

Heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a great point

Sony has to make a Spiderman movie every few years even though DVDs of the old ones are still being sold, but Ubisoft can just delete games forever and they can never be played again.

Copyright was invented so artists would be able to sell their art, and more art would be made.

When copyright is protected on a product that’s no longer sold, less art is made.

When a copyright holder stops selling their art, copyright protections should immediately cease, and they should be responsible for copyright obligations - releasing the source code to the public. Use it or lose it!

Probably more convenient to download the cracked version without the anticheat. That’ll work on Linux.

The idea of “voting with your wallet” doesn’t work in most cases, because your only options are to vote in favour, or not vote. Boycotts aren’t votes against a product, because they don’t hurt companies. They just refuse to help them.

Piracy isn’t stealing, but since companies think it is, piracy is the third option we need - the no vote.

Yes.

That’s why drag personally believes all RPGs with character customisation should have gender selection unless there’s a very good reason why not. The one good exception drag has seen is Pentiment - in that game you’re a mediaeval writer who hangs out with the monks at the Abbey. That story can’t be authentic with a woman player character. But that’s a very rare situation. Even games with named main characters can have gender select. Look at Prey and Mass Effect. It’s an accessibility feature.

Amazing how the entire world turned into anti-Semites overnight just because of a little ethnic cleansing

This is understandable if someone has a strong gender identity. Most people don’t have much of a gender so it’s less important to them.

Woke means being aware that an interaction with a cop is a life or death situation. Cops aren’t your friends, they’re not here to protect you. They’re a threat, motivated by cruelty and love of power. When dealing with a cop, you have to speak gently, keep your hands visible at all times, and declare your intentions for every action. Or you could die. You could still die even if you do all that.

Do you have any evidence that they’re suffering from psychosis? Drag would rather you call them hateful bastards than implicate schizospectrum disorders.

Language.

No. Can’t tell if the transphobe is unwilling to give stuff to a trans person, or if it was just hot air the whole time. Either way, transphobes are losers

Can drag please have a copy?

Wow fuck that guy. Drag is going to think about how to get Will of the Wisps refunded

Deus Ex is a horror universe. Example:

You work as produce loader. One day, your coworker comes in with a fancy new set of robot arms. He can lift three times as much as you can and work twice as fast. Your hours start getting cut back, boss doesn’t need you anymore. You lose your job. You apply for a new one, but it’s the same story everywhere: companies want cyborgs. So you spend the last of your savings on a set of bionic arms. They work great, and you land a new job. It’s enough to pay for the anti rejection meds and your living expenses. Two years later, a new model comes out. Efficiency improves even more. Your services aren’t needed anymore, and you can’t afford an upgrade.

You’re homeless now, and you can’t afford the rejection meds. So you sit on the side of the street with a cardboard sign and an empty hat, waiting for your arms to rot off your body as your immune tears the connection apart.

Drag wouldn’t buy prosthetics from a company that associates themselves with that image.

Hardspace Shipbreaker.

Well they made it so you only need one copy of the game to play online with a friend, so it seems their money is where their mouth is.
