What a ridiculous take. First of, outside of certain parts of the internet most people aren’t even aware of the issues surrounding Rowling, secondly you can very much acknowledge that she’s a terrible excuse for a human being while still enjoying a game she had nothing to do with (yes, she gets royalties, but she has the kind of fuck you money that multiplies by merely existing anyway).

I’m not. I’m calling out people who call me a bigot for not living up to their standards on ethical consumption. Personally I avoid Nestlé and their billion subsidiaries wherever humanly possible, but I am not calling everyone who doesn’t pro-slavery. That’s my issue, not the warranted labelling of Rowling as a bigoted piece of shit.

The “fuck it, God mode”.

(I primarily play single player games, so it’s not like it messes with anyone else’s game.)

Oof, that one hurt.

But slightly more on topic, most games these days release cross-platform, so finding a working copy shouldn’t be too hard for most even vaguely popular current gen games, even ten or twenty years down the road, especially if we’re talking about single-player games. Assuming you’ve got a PC and no moral objections to pirating abandonware. No bullshit always-online DRM is always appreciated, but I don’t think that DRM means the end of retrogaming. There’s almost always a way around it.

Myron basically admits he’s full of shit in 2. Jet (perhaps not under that name) is a pre-war drug. It’s a complete nonissue.

Also, just because the active ingredient semi-naturally occurs in brahmin dung (only if they’re fed a specific pre-war feed) doesn’t mean that that’s the only place where it can be found or that a cow/cow adjacent digestive tract is the only place where the requisite reactions can occur. Jet is basically inhaled meth, there’s no reason to assume that it can’t be mass manufactured.

Technically yes. But if the games are no longer even being sold I’d argue that it’s perfectly fine to do it anyway.

Steam itself is a proprietary, DRM-ridden quasi-monopoly. Supporting Valve over Microsoft doesn’t make much sense. They’re both bad.

And that’s what I like about it. Instead of sitting you down at telling you a story they give you a world to tell your own stories in. I like having the freedom to be creative, and I like seeing and exploring the creative ideas of other people. It’s not something I’ve seen other companies really do.
