    Not worth a well thought out reply. Fuck corpos killing games if I pay for something it’s mine don’t come to me and take it away. Period. Skg is for consumers. Anyone against it is against me and my wallet

      Which corpos? These guys are both indies at the moment.

      You keep wanting this to be a “us versus them” of big companies vs users and that’s not the conversation that’s happening here.

      But hey, by all means I would love to have Faliszek act as a Valve corporate representative and have the irrational side-taking on the Internet argue itself into a singularity.

        That is the conversation that was misconstrued by pirate software. Skg is consumer vs corporation. It’s for consumer right so companies don’t sell you a thing and then rip if from your hands without warning

          No, that’s what you want it to be.

          The reason this is a perfect shitstorm of online grief is that you’re here really wishing this is some Star Wars scenario where your side is the Rebel Alliance and on the other side there’s a bunch of developers going “That’s not how the Force works!”.

          You can’t boil down a complex technical and legal issue to “it’s consumer vs corporation” and hope that magically makes servers portable or implementation feasible. And you can’t lump people who know what they’re talking about and aren’t part of a particularly large corporation with your good guys vs bad guys fantasy just because they disagree with you on the issues.

      If you’ve been living under a rock since the 80s, let me bring you up to speed. You don’t buy software, you buy a license to use software, including games. This is the whole reason why free/libre software exists. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

        I don’t buy always buy software. But when I do I also make sure I have an offline back up. I would download a car.
