So does that mean less bots trying to steal my steam credentials?

Unfortunate that he got caught. He was simply playing the same game the corps do but since he isn’t mega rich he gets punished.

I used to have a program called netlimiter (needed to throttle individual aop downloads on a shared WISP that was slow as balls). I bought a lifetime license like 10 years ago because I liked the software. A couple years ago they got rid of the old version and bumped me up to the new version. About a year ago I got an email saying something along the lines of “pay our new subscription fee or you lose your access” and basically put me on a trial account. I pirated their old version years ago to see if I liked the software enough after a couple months. I no longer use that software.

Another time I bought a lifetime access for a game on patreon. About 2 years later the dev switched to a subscription only fee to access all the new content and never released anything from updated versions to the older public release. So essentially I bumped down to a free tier of access to a game I paid for.

I will pirate until I die. Fuck these douchebags.

When was the last time a corporation got anything other than a slap on the wrist and a small donation to the government just so they could keep doing what they’re doing?

No you see the corporations will just lobby until the courts get enough money to classify AI as it’s own individual entity, just like with citizens united.

DirecTV did that to my dad years ago. He called to cancel but they sat on it for 4 months and gave us service but didn’t stop sending bills. He just just stopped paying them until they started threatening legal action so he had to keep fighting them. Eventually they gave up.

Oh so it just affected you personally got it. So that’s where all this is coming from. Now that that’s settled you can kindly fuck off.

Preventing workers from doing their jobs doesn’t actually hurt them. At all. It just makes it annoying to work.

Oh well. If I can’t have any then the rich assholes shouldn’t either.

Also how the fuck does your analogy make any sense? "Keep cracking eggs (for the omelette) and you won’t have any left ( for the omelette you just made). Sick of clowns like you.

Can’t make an omelette without cracking a few eggs.

EA, Ubisoft, and Activision are all on my do not buy list. Their games aren’t even worth pirating.

It’s more like co-owning. Both the owner and the HOA own the property. But at least with my HOA the agreement is they handle everything outside my walls, I handle everything inside.

Of course not. But it won’t stop them from trying or spending billions on legal fees to avoid paying out a tiny fraction of that.

You still are missing the point and I doubt you’ll get it. To the average user they don’t give a fuck why it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work. And until it does then the average user isn’t going to jump through hoops to make their hardware work.
