Yes, exactly. It's gotten so bad that we can't even refund a PC game.
Is it the game stores fault that all the moronic customers would copy the game and come back for a refund? No, there's a point where they said enough is enough and now everything is fucked up because of the selfish few/majority.
If everyone stopped pirating games today, right now then I bet that game publishers would get rid of DRM.
What dribble. Less keyboards means they produce less keyboards.
By reducing or stopping the production of sweatshop keyboards all you're doing is taking away these poor people's jobs, free food and place to sleep. Nice going!
Consumers aren't paying the factory workers. The keyboard manufacturers (IBM, Microsoft, etc) aren't paying the factory workers.
The FACTORY is paying the factory workers. The factory gets the job to make keyboards because they're cheap. If they raise the price another factory gets the job.
Yes it does. There are billions of people in China and paying premium for dumb workers isn't something they have in mind especially when factories have to compete with bids from other factories who pay their workers even less.
You mean the same ReactOS that had to stop and do a complete code cleanup after idiotically putting in tons of patented and reserve engineered code? No thanks.
That's pretty sad, I run Linux but I pay and play for games because they're fun. Not because the author happened to compile a native binary for my OS.
I really don't understand this kind of behaviour and as a game programmer myself, I'd rather you look at the games themselves rather then the PR around it.

You go through a VPN which connects to a proxy which goes through a 56k modem to 56k modem phone call bypassing the gibson.
What happened to all the alarmist articles saying that this space debris was going to be up there for 10,000 years?
It sounded like BS when I read it, now that pieces are coming down it only confirms my suspicions.

Ironic when FSF calls DRM "restrictions management". They're just as guilty of inventing words.
Impulse doesn't include DRM.
US DMCA law isn't Swedish law, so yes, Team America can go fuck themselves.
You realise that slashdot took down a post once due to copyright violation?
What you said has already happened years ago. Welcome to reality.
Exactly instead they bitch that Mexicans are stealing the jobs they don't want to do in the first place.
Straw man, the pirate bay doesn't sell torrent files.

I don't know what kind of shitty keyboards you've been buying but my keyboard I bought in Thailand, made in china has lasted me many years.
China does produce cheap quality products which is why western countries can not beat them and why China now holds a big chunk of US dept.
Yes it does. There are billions of people in China and paying premium for dumb workers isn't something they have in mind especially when factories have to compete with bids from other factories who pay their workers even less.
Making less jobs, fucking over the workers that used to have jobs at the keyboard factory to feed their family.
yes
Having humans means you're creating jobs. This thinking is why America is number 2.
By doing it puts the barrier to entry into the graphics market extremely high.
Not only do you have to create a good card, you also need good software to go with it.

Bullshit excuse to pirate..
You could just buy and download the windows client and run it in wine. When you buy the game you get all three clients, windows, mac and linux.
You're pathetic.

What makes you think there is going to be a Linux steam client?
The only thing I've heard about it is a nonsense rumour from a valve job advertisement.
The game is worth $20 the problem is that you're so used to stealing games for free that you're bias and can no longer put a price tag on things.
Great, can you rip your balls off too so you don't contaminate the rest of the world?
Neither would the music and video they helped produce.
not a word, just a comma.
