That's my point. You need those Steam keys to get the full experience. If you pirate it, you don't get it. Therefore for some games, resellers > piracy.

I'm supposed to be paid for this???

I wouldn't even mind extending the war so much if there was any attempt to have some good faith peace negotiations to at least entertain a chance at peace??? Russia has always been up for peace talks, Ukraine/the West has not. In fact I am still often shouted down if I so much as say that all sides should be discussing the possibility of peace.

I agree Russia bad and should not be doing an awful invasion, but there is also a much wider context to their invasion that involves Ukraine refusing to give its eastern regions a vote on their own future and bombing civilians for 8 years. This war was very far from inevitable, even without giving Russia any major concessions.

Sorry to hear this, and much love to you :< I notice she happily unloaded a ton of stuff instead of, say, asking questions and trying to have a conversation - that alone is deeply disappointing. Not a fun time, best of luck.

And interestingly, there's little defederating going the other way. Honestly the only real criticism I see is that libs don't like that they can't regurgitate anti-China made up nonsense without being corrected.

Had a very similar experience. I've frequently found that kind of problem is a direct result of the community simply growing 'too large'. The only way to moderate is hit everyone even slightly suspected of being out of line with a brick.

Back in ye olden days of forums and boards, even flagrant transgression of rules were typically forgiven and you were dealt with like a human because moderators had time and care for the community and people.

If indie devs really have that preference, then they need to remove the DRM/Vendor-locking stuff in their games, unfortunately. If your game relies on eg. Steam for the multiplayer or workshop mods, then people are going to prefer resellers.

Honestly >70% of the time even Wikipedia actually contradicts their assertions.
