In this case, we need to migrate our friends and family one last time to something that will let us relax almost permanently for once.
But it’s always “one last time”. It’s always an uphill battle to switch over and then people give whatever reasons for why it’s bad and you’re expected to just quit it.

I’m getting real tired of being told to delete my only methods of keeping in touch with friends and family. To what extent is someone expected to isolate themselves to the detriment of their own wellbeing to put a marginal dent on the bottom line of a multimillion dollar company?

I feel almost the exact opposite; I can jump into Helldivers 2 as if I’d never left and keep on playing but trying to play Space Marine 2 now feels like I’m constantly behind everyone else and trying to catch up.

Taking the work of artists without compensating them for your own commercial gain is ethically bankrupt and theft. The fact that you keep likening an AI model to actual person demonstrates that this isn’t a conversation worth continuing.

If looking at a picture is stealing. . .
Except that’s not what AI and those who use it are doing. This is a deliberate oversimplification to try to excuse derivative and copied works of artists who have had their art stolen. When you do it, it’s copyright infringement. When AI does it, you get a deluge of people who lack the patience and discipline to actually produce any creative work trying to excuse it.

Can’t wait for the AI to start giving me tips based on a previous entry in a series because that’s all it knows about, referring to mechanics which no longer exist and set-ups which are no longer possible.

- Comment on "It's extremely frustrating and also f*cked up" - one of the world's best indie studios is facing shock closure following confounding Steam ban [Eurogamer] 8 months ago:
Not wanting to sell a product isn’t censorship of the product. That’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what censorship is.
- Comment on "It's extremely frustrating and also f*cked up" - one of the world's best indie studios is facing shock closure following confounding Steam ban [Eurogamer] 8 months ago:
The majority of countries where Steam sells games have strict laws regarding the depiction of minors in any kind of situation which could be considered sexual, whether it’s a real child or not. It’s a very strange hill to die on when the devs clearly identified that was the issue and removed it from their game.

Whether you believe a platform should get backlash for platforming something in questionable taste and legality is entirely separate to whether they actually will.
- Comment on "It's extremely frustrating and also f*cked up" - one of the world's best indie studios is facing shock closure following confounding Steam ban [Eurogamer] 8 months ago:
Sure but you must realise that if Steam were to platform a game featuring a child riding a naked adult in a horse mask, a sequence that the devs have removed in order to have the game on any platform for sale at all, Steam would face a significant amount of backlash and potential legal action for doing so. Why should Steam be obligated to publish a game?

There’s already been extensive discussion about this already; the whole thing stinks of the dev trying to get extra publicity because the fucked around and found out.

Have an X rating doesn’t absolve you of criticism or protect you from backlash when you include a sequence involving a naked adult and a child.

do you honestly expect the average 13-year-old (or younger) to be capable of anything other than performative activism relating to the genocide in Palestine?
Children can still protest, fundraise, and engage in other forms of direct action. Children are not helpless or incapable.

Given that it’s being allowed on multiple different platforms now that the “child riding a naked person in a horse mask” sequence has been removed, it definitely stinks of spin from the dev trying to get more publicity.

Even rating it X/AO/Whatever, calling a sequence where a young child rides around on a naked masked person who is forced to comply “contentious” is putting it mildly.

The article details how the refusal to platform the game was before the calls for games to be pulled by that weirdo conservative Christian group whose name I can’t remember.

The refusal to sell the game on Steam was apparently before all the champing and gnashing of teeth which lead to a bunch of games being pulled; having a young child ride around on a naked masked person who is forced to comply would be contentious either way.
- Comment on Activists Are Using ‘Fortnite’ to Fight Back Against ICE 8 months ago:
Whilst children may not be able to help in the same way as adults, I believe that children absolutely can help in material ways. Children can still protest, fundraise, and engage in other forms of direct action. Children are not helpless or incapable.
