@SandyofCthulhu@GameStalgiaX I always get the impression that the vast majority of people who pirated your games would never have bought them if piracy hadn't been an option. It’s a bit like saying a work failed to find its audience—when in reality, it did; it’s simply a niche audience.

@SketchesbyBoze I am an avid reader, and none of your arguments convince me... for this to work, you need to explain how it benefits THEM not YOU. What would the impact be on THEM if no one read anymore, and why would that be a bad thing?

@EmmaM64989287 With a bit of luck, AI will eliminate everyone's jobs—including those of neurotypicals, whose ableism will have become as useless as the disabilities of the neurodivergent. You will no longer have to deal with their antipathy.
@shelleddiva For many, it’s just a trend or a costume; what lies beneath has less human worth than the bottom of a slurry pit—and at least that can be spread to nourish crops.
