So, as far as I understand, he was fined 3 years salary for doing the job he was hired to do (I consider using Google/Github as part of the job).
Utterly horrifying. Especially when you realize that merely accessing Google is illegal in China...

I'll be the first to say that I only begrudgingly accept Steam exists. However, I avoid using it and vastly prefer GOG due to the DRM-free nature of their store and the offline installers.
Just because the hate on Epic is vocal does not mean that everyone likes the Steam status quo.
When will it release on GOG?
They only "don't have enough to pay us" insofar as they don't have enough to pay us without sacrificing record high profits or CEO salaries.
I also have plenty of experience emulating all kinds of things, including Windows - in fact, I have an instance of Win 98 in a VM right now.
That said, I can't agree that it's in any way easy for the average Joe. It's not rocket science, but it's by far harder than just having a working executable.
If nothing else, consider the legality of it - you must have a legal copy of the specific version of Windows, often the specific BIOS, as well. These are not easy (or cheap, often) to acquire these days.
Then you likely need to make sure your CPU supports Hyper-V, then install the entire OS...
Then you often need to make sure you're emulating the specific CPU with the specific GPU, with the specific sound card, or else this specific Windows 95 game will CTD or be missing features. Old games were finicky and OS emulation for gaming is only easy on the surface.
I have a feeling you're talking about emulating consoles, which is a bit different than, say, emulating a game that only works on Windows XP.
I believe the peace talks fell apart once they discovered evidence of all the rape and murder committed by the russians.
How is this even a meme...?
Bring back Tekken Ball, please!
What the hell is this both side-ism? Trying to discourage people from voting?
... And improve your reading comprehension. I don't feel like repeating myself.
I don't know what web3 is doing there, but I imagine this is terrifying if you're doing IT for western companies in China.
