No, it’s what it gives.

I tried it again afterwards and it gave me “don’t make any sudden movements and don’t run” as one of the tips at the bottom!

It’s funny how they joke about how obsessed he is with it.

You say it like I’m some capitalist pig that doesn’t agree with all of the above. I don’t get why Russia gets a pass though, they mucked about in Africa, Asia and Latin America in their past too. They are still in Africa from what I understand and it’s hard to pretend they aren’t in Ukraine specifically for ressources.

What definition are you using, just out of curiosity?

Pirate it (straight from YouTube in this case is probably easiest so you keep your playlists and what not), and then buy merch from your favorite small time artists.

faith and all that goes to it

That’s kind of the problem isn’t it? All that goes with it includes a shit load of hate and also raping kids. The Pope and his christo-fascist following are pig disgusting and deserve no respect.

If you don’t want to deal with it, then maybe you can go back to Reddit. I’m fine here, and believe me, we don’t need Jesus.

The faith and the pedos are intrinsically linked because the huge amount the faith spends to protect the pedos.

“Fun”.

A homophobic and transphobic book club led by pedophiles isn’t “fun”. The Pope thinks your whole instance is a sin, stop defending someone that hates you.

Every penny saved on IT is a penny that can be used for lawyers to defend pedophiles. As God intended.

Waste energy on pornography

The guy sees everyone die in the first scene but ends up just going along with it.

There’s more nuance to it. It mostly depends on skin color.

You are defending a wrong (taking perfectly valid keys offline) because of a group abusing it in a legal manner (buying excess keys).

They could find solutions that don’t spit on our ownership rights.

It’s ToS abuse imo, not really defendable. Steam is getting dragged into court because of shit like this. The breach of ethics involved in trying to dictate the use of keys is far greater than the one committed by the reseller imo. They can only do this because of the quasi monopoly they have.

I really think this is the steam pink google effect. If it was Microsoft and Activision behind it, everyone would be livid imo.

The problem is that it isn’t stolen, counterfeit or anything if the sort.

Buying on sale is perfectly legal. On top of that, in this case, they also banned keys that the publisher sold directly to a reseller, not a reseller that bought it on sale pretending to be a regular customer. Granted, they are going back on that and it was largely a mistake, it just shows exactly what’s wrong with all this.

The fact is that if a key is sold by the publisher and ends up in my possession, and I activate it and it’s valid since it was bought legally and is an official key, then that’s the end of it.

They shouldn’t get to have a say in the transactions along the way. The whole reasoning for it is petty excuses. It doesn’t matter the effects, they can find solutions that don’t associate massive risks with using second hand shops for fuck sakes.

You know that bullshit where if you buy a second hand Tesla, a bunch of the software stops working even though it has a lifetime membership since its associated with the person and not the car, this is the exact same kind of bullshit.

We should be able to turn our games into keys whenever we want and trade them with friends ffs. Why are you advocating for taking keys offline just because of who’s hand it went through when they were bought perfectly legally?

It’s up to them to figure out solutions that don’t fuck over regular consumers. Steam doesn’t get to be the only legal storefront. It’s bad enough that we only get a license but I don’t get defending this when it’s clearly anti consumer above all else. I figured most people on Lemmy would like to properly own their games, it seems like a hot button issue. This is the opposite of that, a feature that takes advantage of the fact that we don’t own the game.

If you buy a product, it should become yours and you should be able to do whatever you want with it. It doesn’t matter if you bought it from a reseller or on sale or wtv.

Some people seem to have gotten their keys removed even when they bought it from a reseller that got it directly from the publisher, nothing shady about it.

I don’t think it’s scalping. Scalping has scarcity involved to drive up the price, this is the opposite.

There aren’t any tools. They shouldn’t get to control what happens after they sell it. They sold it, they chose the price, end of story.

Try to apply the same logic to GameStop and not sound like a capitalist bootlicker. If Activision was pulling this, you’d be seething at the mouth.

I think you mean the memes community in .world. This community doesn’t have a no politics rule as far as I can tell.

Your whole account and username is based on hating AI but it’s the other side that’s in a cult?

Fact is there’s has been a media campaign being run since it started so gen pop would clap and cheer when big AI companies capture the market with regulations. You just responded to it.

I’ll keep using it to lighten my work load at work and spend more time fucking around. Hopefully, Big AI loses even if they have your help.

Can’t find the app guys. Where is it? Bruh. Help me someone, my girlfriend is coming home and I don’t want to get mocked for the same thing two days in a row.
