What would you consider an objective way to determine what the people believe?

Isn’t separation what Alberta wanted? As per polls

Yep thx

What’s the summary/key excerpt?

Appreciate the perspective. Thanks for posting.

It’s the future the Epstein class are trying to build

Let’s look at one study and ignore the consensus of studies, right?

It doesn’t hurt the sales of the games, that’s an unscientific assertion you are asserting that directly contradicts research.

If you want to play it for free, nobody’s stopping you from pirating it too. It seems like resentment here rather than logical rigour in your argument. It’s not a slap in the face for gamers who want to support the developers. If you don’t, there’s no reason why you should be obligated to purchase the game.

Games are made and developed for-profit, they only continue production if they are profitable. They’ve remained profitable despite piracy forever.

This has nothing to do with the argument that all games should be free or that developers don’t need paychecks. It’s an entirely different set of claims which nobody is making here.

Logic is objective, so saying it’s logical “to you” is illogical.

A sense of humour is irrelevant to a discussion from a logical standpoint. Furthermore, we literally have data and studies that show that piracy doesn’t hurt the sales of games— when provided with this evidence in the comments, you just “laughed” at it.

You ask for reasoning/evidence, and when provided, just laugh at it. Laughter doesn’t dismiss evidence.

Sure, just don’t pretend you’re engaging in logical discussion.

Except when people provide you with evidence and reasoning you just go “lmao” and leave it at that too.
