There’s not really any effective way a layman can construct them.
(Also this is a play about the generator magazine being a mechanic of the game, in Project Zomboid, plumbing into a sink automatically filters water)

Yeah, and plumbing into a filtered sink from the rain collectors too
- Comment on outbreak 2 days ago:
IRL zomboid is worse because there are less offline resources available now than the 90s, gun ownership and reliability depend greatly on where you are in the world and what laws restrict you, population is exponentially greater, the environment is much more toxic (UNICEF doesn’t even recommend you try to boil rainwater anymore), and extreme weather makes survival in the absence of modern technology extremely difficult.

I would honestly follow where your community/friends are at. The minecraft modding community is extensive and amazing at bringing endless experiences to you, and the amount of active playthroughs willing to accept new members is likely higher on Minecraft than Minetest instances.
However, if you wish to develop and mod yourself rather than play on pre-existing modded and vanilla content, I could see some great experiences from joining a community on Minetest. But to me, Minetest is a development and educational tool, not a game.

Love it or hate it, this is exactly why PayPal is good for online transactions. You can just sever it off entirely.

And then the next storefront or launcher will come along. Or GOG/Epic start making moves that appeal to a wider demographic. Or indies publish on their own sites (Vintage Story). Or someone releases a simplistic cracking tool for steam gamers.
There’s a lot more options than you think for those who aren’t happy with the status quo. Going back full circle, on consoles, you are SOL in that situation. PC never had that issue.

I suppose, sorry. I meant your progress that was meant to last forever being dragged out from under you (server shutdown). I guess rugpull might be more for something like scams.

Actually, some talented people have managed to make locally/community hosted WoW a thing, so at least you have that backup plan :)

I bought the outer worlds for $10 on a steam summer sale. The list price and the price a customer pays tends to be much lower on PC (many wishlist and wait), and piracy is an option.

How’s Brazilian regional pricing doing so far? I heard some countries are getting the short end of the stick now because of some users VPN routing to another country for deals.

I’m referring to that consoles can set the price period. You don’t have another marketplace (except for the used physical market, if you console supports it) to acquire first or third party games. Therefore, those who own the market can set the price as high as they’d like.
I remember when console prices were standardized at 60 USD during the 7th generation. On steam I’ve never paid more than 40.

Consoles are a walled garden - the only reason they can do what they do is because of the lack of options for the customer to use their hardware.
PCs are the only gaming platform (apart from perhaps smartphones) that have an open framework untouchable by publishers or game platforms. You don’t have to publish with Sony and Microsoft, and the majority don’t.
Unless your console has homebrew, you will always be screwed by the platform holder.

I never really trusted any sort of MMORPG that wasnt able to be community hosted with my time. It always ends up being a rugpull.

That’s definitely fair, but there is the argument that the largest source of change for major powers is through harming their economies.
Sort of like, I like the artistry from this person from X nation, but by giving them money, I am indirectly helping fuel the economy of X nation, therefore giving their goverment less incentive to change existing behavior.
The problem is that in order to achieve that collective impact, a whole lot of innocent parties who have no support for or active hostility for the existing regime are also badly impacted. Usually individuals will greatly suffer before the political or structural systems will ever change.
So it’s a bit of a bind. Support Russian media, comes with the side effect of supporting the Russian regime, at least indirectly from their income flowing into taxes. End of the day, it’s a choice to make.
