How is having more options a problem?
I’m playing games that came out 10 hears ago, and I have a backlog of many years and I couldn’t be happier with it.
It’s better than no having anything to play.
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 3 weeks ago:
The trick is that you don’t need trust to enjoy life. You can enjoy the mental challenge of trying to find out the truth. But sometimes all you got is the vague knowle that they are lying to you, and you have to make do with that.
Focus on your pyramid of needs, and keep going. And try to see it more as a game or a hobby than your purpose on life if you don’t want it to destroy you.

I feel there is a curve there. A stranger seems bad, once you know them they seem good, once you really know they you understand they are bad again.
There is a lot of facade in people’s relationships that can hide the true faces of people as soon as you get close to them.
The classical example is the group of people going together to a party and having fun all together but when they return to their homes they start gossiping and thrashing on each other on their backs.
Sometimes I think that the deranged behavior we use to see online is more true to the true nature of people than in-person social iterations. As Oscar Wilde said, people are the most true to themselves when they are behind a mask.
At the end of the day the world is full of misery. And this misery is caused by people. People whose close friends and family surely can swear on how “good people” they are.
I suppose some people could feel comfort in the facade. Believing is real and letting it soothe you. But maybe OP has reach a level of awareness of the truth in human nature that they will just see through that facade and won’t be able to feel comfort in the play.

I’m not into crypto. But how can it being stolen just by reading some file in the computer? Isn’t the private key encrypted with some really secure password? It was stolen while the private key was being used?

Go with what sounds cooler to you. As they are really no different, and each person could give you a definition of the slight differences they believe they have.
I go with bi, because it sounds cooler to me and because it was the term most used when I was younger so I grew into it, but that’s it.

All the personal attacks were completely out of place. So that person is out of the debate for me.
You were polite so I will answer to you.
First. Pay per access is no-go. Art is publicly release, pay or not pay access for things that are costless to copy is unrestricted. This already happens, piracy exist and cannot made go away. It’s just its legalization.
Second. Once pay per access is abolished. It’s more important to focus in pay for work or pay for release. Focusing more on making the artist a person who is being patronize for doing their art rather than a salesperson.
Once we have this idea of patronizing, instead of private labels we could focus more on cooperative labels, taking out investors and useless middlemen. People could paid for some artist or some label (which will be exclusively conformed by artist) in order for them to keep making their thing. Some labels could be actually public labels, this already exist to some degree when some state pays for art to be made, just expanding it.
Now that we changed the model in a model were people give their money before they get to see the final product we should put some protections in place to avoid scams and then we are golden.
It’s not so complicated really. Many systems already exist. The history is the same as with everything else capitalism and rich capitalists are in a dominant position so they make any change for the better harder.

So is a world without murder. That doesn’t mean that we should defend murderers doesn’t it?
A world where gay people had equal rights surely was an utopia on the year 1800s, look how far have we come. Thanks to people that though that a better word is, indeed, possible.
Why wouldn’t we strive for a better way of doing things? Why defend faulty systems that we know they are bad just because those are the systems currently in place?
I do believe we can be better.
And if not… Piracy it is.

Any system to evaluate compensation would be better than the actual one, which is a completely mess that does not properly compensate artists for their work.
Currently marketing, frontstore presence and market dominance is far more relevant on a particular artist income than their craft.
Any system that actually would think about what people think about a particular craft, how much time and effort got put into it, how much it was enjoyed, etc, would be better. Currently is just about who can make more sales and get more ad money, the art is secondary and I’m being generous.

Because you will be paid for it?
In the current world I could torrent your music and you’ll be “losing money” and will end up investing more work in anti-piracy and advertisement than in making good music.
If instead you would be paid for the making of the music regardless of how many copies of a digital file you sold by a better system that’s not based on private property and the means of capitalism, it would mean that you could 100% focus on making music and everyone could enjoy the things you made.
Everyone will be happy, except investors and people thriving of this inefficient and unfair system.
- Comment on 'An embarrassing failure of the US patent system': Videogame IP lawyer says Nintendo's latest patents on Pokémon mechanics 'should not have happened, full stop' 5 weeks ago:
I do believe that.
Intellectual property leads to all kind of unfairness. It should be normalized that artist would be paid for the work done, nor for property ownership.
This adds to some other believes about people shouldn’t be paid just for “property ownership”.
And once the art is done and released is part of human race, that does include terrible human beings, but it also includes absolutely everyone else.
Some other argument for this… For instance, being an artist is one of the jobs with biggest pay disparity, from the poorest of them all to some of the richest. That’s a normal output of basing income on property ownership, things snowball once you have enough property.
I don’t think there’s a way to make private property (physical or intelectual) work in a fair economy. And remember, private property is not the same as personal property, just in case.
