I can name a half dozen beloved businesses in my neighborhood that have closed recently, and it’s the same old story: ten-year commercial lease expired, landlord seeks an astronomical rent increase that only a corporate tenant or smoke shop can afford.
Hello outlaws! Jennifer Gibbons, VP of the Entertainment Software Association said Minecraft community servers are ILLEGAL. Thank you for lying about the law to the California Senate in public, it lets everyone see what we've been up against.

This. Discord never said that they will back down completely. They said they will revisit it later in the year.
We are later in the year. It's time for round two. Push back by not giving them money, not doing quests and look at other options. It worked last time so hit back hard

🚨Might be a waste of time posting this, but I'mma do it anyway. Long post incoming.
The internet is our Library of Alexandria.
The internet as we've been using it up to this point has been relatively free to use in terms of what you could do, with very few limitations.
Instant communication around the world, being able to speak with other languages in a back and forth dialogue, content making and sharing, shopping, gaming, information gathering and sharing, a place to learn and so on.
You have the freedom and ability to speak your mind on something and a chance for that something to be seen and heard INSTANTLY.
Should the powers that be decide to change the rules, things as we have now will never be the same.
The list:
-Speaking to someone outside of your country without proper clearance, like a digital passport. Something you will likely have to pay for, should it ever happen.
-Slowed communications. No longer instant for whatever arbitrary reason they decide to give.
-Country gates. You may not even be allowed to visit certain websites outside your country's jurisdiction, without said digital passport.
-Paying for time spent on foreign websites, like long distance calls used to cost money.
-Content making and gathering. If you make something that they deem unsafe, even if it's not, you are subject to their laws—This includes speaking out against an injustice. Or criticizing your government.
-Information gathering, sharing, learning. You may not be allowed easy access to information as you do now.
To wrap it all up. Some of these things sound absurd and you'd be right to say so. But all they have to do is decide that they want more control and we have to live with it.
If you think you are safe because you don't do anything "bad", all they have to do is change what that means and suddenly you're in trouble.
There are essentially two types of fighting game fans: those who like seeing lots of flashy animations, and those who enjoy lots of interactions and mechanical depth.
Lots of options for the former.
For the latter, NO ONE does it like VF.
