ah ok yeah I agree. Their elites seem to be quite “chummy” as brits would put it.

You can’t exactly blame people for being stupid when you realize the conditions necessary for well learned, aware citizens with empathy are always being destroyed by these so called billionaires. It’s not a coincidence that private cities and walled estates for the rich are the trend. They live in socialist utopia and sell rugged individualistic capitalism to the masses.

Think about how much industrialization and development happened. Now think about how much we have lost touch with how to live meaningful, fulfilling life without our needs going unfulfilled.

Alas, nothing can last forever. Greed and hubris contribute to the destruction of societies. History teaches us.

First of all these billionaires can afford to replace for their kids; what social media is with actual socialising that is destroyed by fear, nimbyism, and systematic destruction of third places for normal people. that’s what private cities and walled off estates are for. They will continue to enjoy the fruits of socialism while selling capitalism for everybody else.

This is not a force to be triffled with or dismissed as so easy to escape from.

and do what? Ensure the U.K also denounces the U.S as an ally?

I don’t see how the advice doesn’t apply. Do not go to U.S.A

hey before you accuse others of not knowing words… learn more about reality.

I don’t think ID software is exactly making all their stuff open source. The original doom source code was only released after it was already a successful game and franchise was established.

regardless you should actually talk to people who do the majority of the slog work in gamedev whether their salaries match their needs for the month.

you should also consider speaking to indie devs that struggle to make a living as the example of successful indie games to failed ones is miniscule.

Theory is all well and good. Maybe you should get out of your library and look at ground realities? Solving it is everybody’s effort. Suggest practical ways to survive first. Then speak about changing the situation.

The only way to actually liberate games is to publish sources liberally. This includes enforcing hard copyleft licensing.

that’s a herculean task. devs and artists already suffer from low wages and overwork. And making games is quite labour intensive.

you can publish sources and potentially struggle to make enough money. interesting games are dime a dozen, even rarer in indie scenes that also make it open source.

solve this and we can agree it’s the ONLY way. Until then you gotta pay for binaries.

“liberate” can be done from many things… for example in this case fascist country

you have never said why it’s not as they claim. How did blahaj lemmy hurt you?
