      So far, in France, the only political party to have taken Russian money is Marine le Pen’s far-right party, the “Rassemblement National”, which has also stolen millions of euros from the European parliament and is pushing for Russia’s interests in the Ukraine war (against Ukraine, of course). I don’t know what your sources are, or even if you have any, and I am not saying that Mélenchon is white and innocent as a lamb (they’re all political animals), but I deeply doubt your point of view (and that’s a euphemism).

    Is he going to be a candidate again !? I thought the last race was his last !

    Despite my personal liking for him (justified or not) ; I hope someone a little more “amicable” takes his place. Many people are scared of him, some for understandable reasons.

  Typical politician talking about things people want but isn’t actually going to change.

  The problem with games is that they are ruled by IP law, which was codified globally a few decades ago and is completely anti-consumer. Even if a country wanted to change them, it’s likely the US would crush them before that.

    He literaly plans to end the republic and create a new one by gathering randomly selected citizens in a room, so if you like change you can’t expect more

      What we all need is more democracy. In fact, we are seeing the shadow of Nazism returning.

    Left-wing

    Has opinions Putin would approve

    Huh?

      Putin doesn’t really care if European countries ard governed by communists, fascists or whoever, as long as they are nationalists, working towards the balkanisation of Europe and the functional destruction of the EU because this is tge precondition to enable the next steos of Russian conquest and dlmination of Europe.

      There are not only right Putinist parties in the EU. In Germany Wagenknecht is openly pro Russian and pretends to be left as well.

  So far, there’s a slightly growing sentiment of politicians to preserve games, but so far as I know, none of them have specifically mentioned cases of reselling them. I’m curious what’s going to happen when that enters the conversation.

  Especially since, we’re likely headed for a digital future anyway - just that we might manage those licenses on a drive, not a disc. And if reselling can happen on an account or a hard drive, we’ll need to think about what a script kiddy with Python and an LLM would do with resellable licenses.
