It’s alright! We don’t all have to host our own instance. Existing ones can easily accommodate hundreds of users.

The docs are not only often difficult for an inexperienced user, they commonly omit points of failure.
Various prerequisites, problematic settings, possibility of the user choosing the wrong menu etc. etc. should always be considered.
Yes, if you spend over $1k on the game you gain access to beta-testing etc.
And the most scary part? Plenty of people do spend this much money - I know many Carrack owners, for example, and this ship costed, when I remember it, $1200. Yes, very real $1200 for an in-game ship, and there’s plenty of buyers.
Heck, I know a person in Ukraine - not a high-income country by any standards, GDP per capita sitting at ~$5000, vs ~$85000 in the US - who spent about $6000 on the game by hiding huge portion of his income from his family for years. And this is not an exceptional case.
Long story short, they severely fail to deliver on their promises and also mismanaged their development incentives so that they are not financially interested to ever release, or even make the game fully playable.
That was my concern long ago when I entered the game.
The problem is, CIG have financially incentivised themselves, knowingly or not, to never finish the game.
Being alpha game means you can wipe everything again and again. And they do! One thing they do not touch, however, are ships purchased with real world money. And players do buy those ships in order to not start the game from scratch over and over again, and pay a lot for it, in hundreds and often thousands of dollars!
Upon release, on the other hand, no wipes are planned, and this means one thing: revenue will absolutely plummet as players just buy ships for in-game currency instead of actual cash. Releasing the game now is a suicide move, as CIG won’t be able to blatantly extort players for their money anymore.
Thanks! Didn’t recognize simplified character behind traditional at first
Two different people, though not without similarities
Piracy via torrents.
Called green after μTorrent which previously dominated the sphere of torrent managers.
Nowadays, I’d rather offer qBittorrent, and it’s blue :D

System will work, but it will gradually get less and less secure, which can get quite bad.
There is an insane amount of ways to break Windows XP and even Windows 7, it’s basically script kiddie’s level of knowledge.
And there are real exploits out in the wild that target such systems specifically - while the pool of potential victims is smaller, they’re very easy to target unless they are competently firewalled.

Highly recommend to watch (widely available through the green streaming service, if you know what I mean)
I’m not aware of how things are now, but at least previously you couldn’t really use Proton outside of Steam.
So I assume OC defends Steam as the only platform that can smoothly run games with Proton instead of regular Wine, which does not work as well for certain games and/or requires tedious configuration.
I guess you were downvoted because Recall is a closed-source privacy nightmare, and systemd, for all its flaws, is open source.
Does it relate to your statement? No. But people will take pitchforks if you compare the two, I fancy.
Kinda mad, but this won’t make them go on a Kremlin. I don’t know what will.
Would still be way way worse if Steam got blocked.

Pretty much yes, it counts :D
Moreover, iirc, there are 64TB 2,5" SSDs and 100TB 3,5" available for enterprise users, and 8TB M.2 SSDs on consumer market. Space is really not a constraint.
You discovered “political nuance”
