Main issue is they might not user your local DNS at all, easier to just not let them connect at all.

Better than real life communists because those tend to just be a dictatorship of the vanguard. A true hive mind where not a single person can have a differing opinion would be the best solution to a lot of things.

One hell of a studio that wouldn’t be allowed to make ME or DA games. There are tons of those already. No IP means no BioWare.

Uhh the opposite actually. BioWare used to make a ton of games. For the last decade, they’ve made just a few games. They did better when they had a game out every 1-2 years rather than 4-5.

You do know you can just stop replying, right? If you stop trying to be high and mighty, that is.

So you’re uncomfortable about admitting that you want people to work for free to bring you the open source software you want instead of using assistive software to automate the process. Alright, whatever. Have a nice day.

And you’re entitled to believe people need to labour for you for free. Have a good one!

But that’s what this is. “Waah waah nobody spent thousands of hours to bring me this free thing”. It’s always been a pain point with FOSS but now people are getting especially pissy that they’re not getting more for free.

Fair, misunderstood the “they are”.

It’s quite the opposite though. People are demanding open-source devs to toil away for free because using the thing that can automate a bunch of work is bad.

A more apt comparison would be:

Tractors put people out of work so we shouldn’t buy produce from farms that use them, BUT we also don’t want to pay extra despite the fact that these farms require more labour to produce the same amount of crops.

You’re always free to start your own tractorless farm and you’ll see how many people are willing to pay extra just for not having a tractor involved versus how many people would prefer things to be cheaper.

Maybe not a perfect analogy because food is essential, but it kinda shows how annoying the people that demand their completely free software is handwritten seem.

Go donate a couple grand a month to a project you truly care about and maybe the dev can afford to work on it full time instead of using LLMs to build the things they want to exist.

I should also mention that whatever device you’re posting from, likely benefits from slave labour somewhere in the supply chain, as do many other goods in our lives. Living in the west, most of us benefit from some form of slavery or another happening somewhere we don’t care about because it’s out of sight. It’s quite unfortunate. Comparing LLM usage to actual fucking slavery is WILD to me though.

How do you know what their consumption habits are?

And the mountain of slop provides a way for those who can’t buy several different consoles, to play the games for those consoles. Emulators exist too, sure, but they’re also far from perfect and require a much beefier machine usually. My Gameboy Advance emulator runs fine on my iPhone. Yuzu was having trouble on a fairly modern PC a few years ago and it’s not even emulating a new console by any means.

You’re free to do it yourself manually or just buy the consoles your games run on.
