When you objected to quotes around the term you deliberately used to make them sound better than regular updates that any early access game gets.
Then don't complain because people disagree. If adding unnecessary qualifiers to make it sound better is fair, so is quoting them.
Always having some instance of someone messing up is still substantially different from more instances than not being messed up. So it did actually matter quite a lot. Now, as someone who is an avid retro gamer, I play…
Many people bought it expecting more, because the studio promised a lot more. You can say that's on the people for not checking before buying, but that doesn't invalidate the dishonesty on their part. Were it an early…
Back in the day, they had to ship complete working games, because the cost to fix it later was too high. Not that they wouldn't mess up all the time, but the punishment for messing up was severe. And paid expansions…

That's a very shallow understanding of reading, especially coming from an author. No, reading is not just about getting the idea from the author. It's an experience in and of itself, and the lack of something makes the…
We still do that, though, within our own little tribes inside civilization. Most people still love their grandparents, even though they're old. That just doesn't necessarily extend to all of civilization.
We don't need to have every human care about every single other human to thrive as a species. If anything, if we did, we wouldn't be able to thrive at all. The issues you mentioned are, in the vast majority of cases,…
> Humans, by virtue of being living, thinking beings deserve lives of fulfillment, dignity, and security. You wanting people to have that doesn't mean that people deserve to have that. Fundamentally, no one deserves…
> The person who did the work deserved credit and compensation. That's the part of the argument in favor of copyright that is inherently flawed. Doing some amount of work doesn't entitle you to anything besides whatever…
