DRM free baby
And I have every single installer downloaded
@waltercool
Yep. That's the only way how you can own your games.
@matrix @waltercool But what's the point of "owning" it if you can just buy it on steam for it's features and then pirate the GOG version later for the same effect if you need to?
@applejack
You can do that too. The law might object but morally you didn't do anything wrong.

@matrix @Charfuhrer @Usagi @waltercool Cmon, those jews deserved those hypothetical lost profits you deprived them of by copying data
@applejack @Charfuhrer @Usagi @waltercool Yes, if you don't think a thing is worth the money, don't use it.
@Usagi @applejack @waltercool @Charfuhrer No, if they deserve it is part of the value. If you don't think they deserve it don't use it.
If you consume without paying YOU are the bad actor.
The only exception is probably abandonware or content the government censored. While still technically stealing, the people behind it have no way of getting your money.
@matrix @Usagi @waltercool @Charfuhrer "They deserve to get payed because I say so, even if everyone consents" generally comes more from socialist types than libertarian types
>If you don't think they deserve it don't use it
Why?
> YOU are the bad actor
According to who?
>While still technically stealing
Nothing is stolen. They lose nothing. You posted the same NFT memes as everyone else about copying data, and that's all it is
@matrix
Someone mentioned #CloudflareSteam.
You have a solumn duty to not use CloudflareSteam.
@dsfgs
I didn't know Steam used Cloudflare. For some reason I assumed Steam built their own CDN.
@applejack @Usagi @waltercool @Charfuhrer
Also best i can tell steam isn't blocked in russia, but payment options are blocked, at some point paypal was still available but then paypal itself pulled out, you can still use wallet balance and possibly obtain gift cards/ask friends to gift you money.
@hj
The Cf'Steam webpages are Cf'd, last we checked.
@hj @applejack @matrix @Charfuhrer @Usagi @waltercool
We check for Cf by bringing up the NetworkTab in TorBrowser with Ctrl+Shift+E.
@applejack @Usagi @waltercool @Charfuhrer The conversation started around piracy and piracy implies lack of consent. If the owner consents then it isn't piracy.
Why? If the thing someone is selling was valuable enough to you, that value would overweight your moral objections to who deserves what and you would pay for it. If that doesn't happen you don't need to have it.
According to who? I dunno who's the authority on that.
Bad actor in this case is someone who breaks or undermines contracts which is what piracy is.
I'm memeing on nfts because it's reinventing shit that already exists and does it poorly, not because I'm against intelectual property. Afaik they just store a md5 hash meaning I change 1 pixel, hash changes and therefore I made a new thing I can mint.
Also the actual content is on Google Drive or some other cloud.
