I remember a few games which didn’t require such sacrifices from developers.

Some even commercial. Like NWN, with people making their own campaigns without, you know, any effort spent by the developers of the game itself.

Of course when the business model is milking players and making it problematic (either technically or by paradigm) to satisfy interest with community-made modifications, then all the load is on the devs or else the game becomes irrelevant. Well, guess whose fault that is.

And there’s no inherent moral value in intellectual property or copyright, so only whether it’s ultimately better or worse to have it is important.

I’m afraid “this system” has existed since humans learned to lie and commit fraud, and it’s not called capitalism.

But there are some laws which these things follow - the more horizontal and decentralized everything is, the less such rot.

The political ideology is called distributivism and unfortunately associated with Catholicism, but it’s the sanest I’ve encountered.

I hope you have noticed that Rojava is next to Turkey, has lost much of its territory to Turkey, and can lose the rest anytime. Definitely fighting against it better than a certain UN member state too bordering Turkey (I’m being ashamed of Armenia here), but still.

EZLN may be in a better situation. Mostly because in Latin America “live and let live” seems to be not such an idealistic approach, since I’m confident there’s a lot of force which could squash them.

No, capitalism is a religious term among leftists, used for things much younger.

Well, if you deregulate patents and copyright (that is, abolish them, with only trademark laws remaining), then I’d expect only positive results.
