  • There’s always the exceptions, but they’re rare, and getting more rare.

    The vast majority of works are owned by a few major corporations, even smaller, more indie games often get published through a major studio, which then retains a good amount of the profit. Almost all media, TV and movies, is owned by one of a handful of companies. Music is largely the same.

    It goes the same way for so many other things too. It’s not just games and media.

    There are always going to be exceptions but on the whole, it’s vastly more likely/common that the people profiting from something is a large, faceless organization, which only answers to their shareholders.


  • Yeah, why the fuck not?

    Obviously, something made in a specialized vehicle manufacturing plant will be better/more durable/whatever, but given the option between downloading a car vs spending a year’s salary to buy one… I’d rather download one.

    Unless my wages get better (which they are not) or cars get cheaper (which they won’t), I’ll continue to have this opinion.

    There’s a nontrivial number of cars that cost more than a house did in the 80’s and 90’s. So it’s entirely possible for someone to spend the same dollar value on their home, when purchasing it in the 90’s, as they do 25 years later, buying a house in the 2020’s.

    Stupid.

    As someone who is straight/cis/male, and very secure in that… Anyone who takes offense… Probably gay. Just saying.

    I don’t take any offense to this stuff. I know who I am. I know what I like. I know where I stand in the grand scheme of things. I live by a very straightforward philosophy: don’t like gay sex? don’t have gay sex. Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t get gay married. Don’t deny someone else of what you don’t want for yourself.

    We’re all different, and that’s a good thing.


  • Do not apologize. That’s quite the story you have.

    If you’re unhappy with where you are, who you are with, or who you are, you can always change. It’s never too late and trust me, as a long term supporter of the LGBTQ+ movement (despite being very straight/cis), they are a very accepting group.

    As an outsider, I can’t tell you what, how, or when changes are going to work best for you, nor what changes you could, or should make. That’s entirely your decision and it’s a big one, and I’m sorry about that. I’m only saying that it’s not too late to figure out who you are and how to be comfortable with your life.

    All the best. Take care of yourself.


  • I need to check into this, but maybe someone knows.

    I assumed that if you’re using incognito and you don’t sign into your Google account, the activity wouldn’t be tied to your Google account. It might be recorded and sent to Google, but anonymously, unless you signed into Google/Gmail/YouTube/whatever, while incognito.

    The obvious is that your activity wouldn’t end up on your Internet history in your non-incognito Chrome.
