DMCA subpoenas are nonsense. Having a judge rule on sufficient cause should always be the standard for any subpoena, and DMCA subpoenas can be signed off by a clerk.

A judge evaluating the merit and determining that there's cause for a subpoena is fine. But it's supposed to be the first step, not reliant on a platform pushing back and spending resources to make it happen.

Yes, I absolutely want to be able to play any game I own on that platform at any time. That's the entire reason I bought the game. Being restricted to the library on one platform is already a massive concession.

"You can only play this game if you preemptively lug it around with you in case you want to play it today" is not an acceptable condition of a purchase to me.

The switch is a handheld. So most places I go?

I have no interest in physical games. I'm not willing to carry around 300 cartridges or only have access to a small portion of my library. But Nintendo has to know that physical game collectors are a big portion of their audience (with probably more than any other platform in either raw number or proportion). They can't abandon physical.

My issue was before that.

I'm not willing to give my real IP for almost anything, let alone illegal activity. It's a hard dealbreaker.

Though it sounds extreme, there are a lot of smart people in the AI community who truly believe AI could end humanity.

No. There are not.

Believing anything resembling current tools has the capacity to end humanity in incontrovertible proof that you are not smart.

The Zelda titles also choke on the switch lol.

A lot of newer games are also big enough that backing them up reliably actually is a meaningful burden. My Steam library is like 900 games. Even though a lot of them are 500MB, a lot of them aren't.

I can't store that shit.

I really want to join them, but "sign up with your actual IP" is an unconditional dealbreaker as far as I'm concerned.

I don't consider a VPN optional for regular web browsing. I'm definitely not turning it off for something that's actually Illegal.

It's not possible.

By design, everything you posted is shared to hundreds of other servers, all of which are capable of doing anything they want with it. I can guarantee you that there are several that are archiving anything and everything that gets federated to them and will not remove that content when the original server does.

Are you playing with a controller or M/KB?

There are plenty of other CRPGs (good search term) that are fine with a mouse/keyboard. Larian kind of stands alone in terms of how well they handle with a controller though. Divinity Original Sin 2 is still dark, but not as in your face about it.

Other terms that have similar battles (but generally more closed maps) are tactical RPGs, strategy RPGs, turn based tactics or turn based strategy. I can't break down the lines between any of those sub-genres, but they're all kind of in the neighborhood. A lot of them are also dark, though.

Not any more than you have a right to not have anyone else have a conversation near your hotel room.

Smells you personally dislike aren't something you get to ban anyone else from enjoying.
