  • I don’t think it’s about popularity of opinions. Popularity of opinions vary with context, Sheeran would have received an ovation if he did that shit in Israel, but that’s not it. I’m tired of the mob mentality too. Nevertheless, the issue is moral, and in this case, ethical. Even ethics change with context, but on things like genocide, it is pretty much universal. It’s not even about his opinions about Gaza, it’s about him revealing this network of people and entities that simply do not think a genocide is happening, because they don’t think Israel is killing actual people, actual children.

    Whatever happens with Sheeran, as long as it’s legal, I don’t care. I don’t want him killed, but rescinding contracts is legal. Also, I didn’t care about him before, now I think he is a coward.


















  • It’s not. You can still buy from the others if you want to be treated like shit, excepting GOG, in my opinion. Consoles are true monopolies, because you can only choose if you want to buy a console and marry to its store, now that physical media is becoming a rarity.

    They have a big fraction of the market because they are efficient at selling what people want. I don’t like it, I believe Newell, specifically, is profiting greedily from Valve’s situation, but shit, this is not even a natural monopoly.
