That's why piracy is and always will be morally justified.

Incorrect. It means that you pick the best candidate, and when they're equal you don't just choose the white man like we always have in the past.

That is not what is happening, and your scenario cannot happen unless by equal you mean based on a very shallow measurement. You'll never find two people who are equally good. It also doesn't say the program is for women, non-binary or skilled men. It excludes men entirely.

However, a straight white Christian man would likely never think of some of the things a gay Muslim would think of, because they have faced different issues and been taught different things.

I disagree with this view. "Only people of X can produce quality X" is just shallow thinking, and can in fact be used just as much as a counter argument like "only men can make quality games for gamers who are mostly male, so we should hire mostly men". A straight white christian male can absolutely have similar views and ideas to a gay Muslim.

Also, if you're hiring a gay Muslim over someone else just because they are gay and Muslim, how do you think that makes them feel knowing this?

But more importantly, what does gender, sex and ethnicity contribute to a team of programmers, which is half the workforce of gamedev?

In hiring, when asking for expert opinions, when looking for quality, the best gender is always "any". The best sexual orientation is always "None of my business", and the best race is always "Human"

But instead if blocking means they cant see your posts, can't you talk behind their backs without them ever even knowing about you?

Yup, which you don't because that's what the PC is for.

Nope. It's important to have a skilled workforce in gamedev. Hiring based on gender and sexuality means you purposefully pick lower skilled workers in order to fill a diversity quota. Being in gamedev and having lead a team of juniors I can say this with confidence. Skill and motivation is everything, and their genders and sexuality mean zero. In fact, you shouldn't even see their genders or sexuality. Every worker regardless of background has a unique view, and can provide creative solutions without having to be reduced to their genders, sexuality, skin color.

Hiring based on gender and sexuality is discrimination, and illegal for a reason (and these companies get around it by using unpaid internships). It breeds hate and extremism.

Also, going to need to ask for some source of that claim of yours because historically the most creative and successful games have been made by entirely asian male teams or entirely white male teams, and games with diverse teams have been failing miserably.

If you use a PC, there is no need to connect the TV to your WiFi, which means it won't send any data.

Just like Lemmy.

Connect it to a Linux PC for optimal privacy.

You'd probably have more luck installing a signal jammer in your car.

The best you can hope for is a rootkit and some Linux-based OS for cars to be developed so you can take full control.

Probably not. Still "buy licence" at least gives us more transparency.

They will get around it. Instead I suggest that buy buttons should say what you're buying.

For example: Just "buy" should not be allowed.

"Buy License" or "Rent Game" for games with DRM. "Buy game" where you own your digital copy and can do whatever you want with it.

I want to reaffirm that we are an entertainment-first company, creating games for the broadest possible audience, and our goal is not to push any specific agenda.
