I was all for the pro-communist bias, but I do agree it’s an echo chamber that shuts down dissenting opinions. I was banned from a community for criticising China with depth, sadly many communists are wholly incapable of adequately addressing the real failures of China without passing it off as no big deal in an apologetic 1-2 liner at best (before proceeding to write paragraphs about how it’s the US’ fault and how other progressive countries “will be considered reactionary in the future”, or some other dumb shit).
The donations thing seems dumb though. You want to support the dev but not the instance?..weird.

Let’s look at one study and ignore the consensus of studies, right?

Smh.

It doesn’t hurt the sales of the games, that’s an unscientific assertion you are asserting that directly contradicts research.
If you want to play it for free, nobody’s stopping you from pirating it too. It seems like resentment here rather than logical rigour in your argument. It’s not a slap in the face for gamers who want to support the developers. If you don’t, there’s no reason why you should be obligated to purchase the game.
Games are made and developed for-profit, they only continue production if they are profitable. They’ve remained profitable despite piracy forever.
This has nothing to do with the argument that all games should be free or that developers don’t need paychecks. It’s an entirely different set of claims which nobody is making here.

Logic is objective, so saying it’s logical to you is illogical.
A sense of humour is irrelevant to a discussion from a logical standpoint. Furthermore, we literally have data and studies that show that piracy doesn’t hurt the sales of games— when provided with this evidence in the comments, you just “laughed” at it.
You ask for reasoning/evidence, and when provided, just laugh at it. Laughter doesn’t dismiss evidence.

Sure, just don’t pretend you’re engaging in logical discussion.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Except when people provide you with evidence and reasoning you just go “lmao” and leave it at that too.

People in asia seem to have an infatuation with Russia even before the palestine issue became prominent. It’s sickening.
The only good thing about it I see is that it’s a necessary counter-balance against the US and its imperialism, perhaps.

Yeah hadn’t realized the spanish/portuguese thing, assumed indigenous folk spoke it but I realize it’s usually some different native thing.

I’m glad it’s better over there, because in my [limited] friend group and family, nobody is pro-ukraine.

Ah so the people there are still ethnically brazillian/argentinian right? i.e. the people are indigenous themselves, just not the rulers? or are the majority of people of european descent too?

Argentina and Brazil are colonial entities? Please elaborate, haven’t heard before.
- Comment on Current events dictate that I post this. 4 weeks ago:
I’m glad I’m finally seeing someone else that’s actually both pro-palestine AND pro-ukraine for once. It’s usually mutually exclusive — I don’t understand why. Literally every single pro-palestine person I’ve seen otherwise has been pretty vocally anti-Ukraine.

It doesn’t even need to be radioactive/kryptonite.
Imagine getting hit down there with a rock. Yeah, I’d call that a weakness.
