      Just a heads up, a lot of his anti-piracy measures in his games are things like using the achievement system in steam to track your progress and stuff like that. So if you pirate them it checks for your achievements for that game, which you are unable to get, and then fucks with your ability to progress in the game.

          It's like how "Hacker News" is a bunch of corpo bootlickers that wear the dessicated dried husk of punk/rebellion like a cape.

            every libertarian thinks they're Luffy when they're Blackbeard down to the fucking bone. truly sickening individuals. repulsive ideology that turns all it touches into unadulterated misery. the only pearly gates they will behold are the ones to the temple on Little St. James corporate-art

                  For real though, I do think some "soul selling" has been metaphorically been performed by such techbro devotees. They really, really want to escape their worldly burdens, escape into some VR waifu paradise (or wake up from the "simulation" that this one supposedly is to them), and otherwise live forever without human limitations and think that selling out to their corporate overlords is the one shot they have at all of that.

                    the ideological divide in silicon valley is do you want to put your brain in a hentai apk and live forever in a porn vn (age-of-consent researcher libertarian) or do you want to lock physical women into exoskeleton-size anime-girl mechas so your waifu can sire your children and realize the fourteen words with you (thielite vampire fascist)

                      If you decided to write dystopian near-future science fiction I might be scared to read it.
