Well let me go back to 2005 and tell young me that I only own a license to WoW so I can say “no shit idiot” and slap my future self. If you were deceived that’s on you.

You can’t steal from nature. Parks are provided for the public, its literally the whole point.
Any more gotchas?
You are implying its about server costs then? Activision sunset the crew because they had been developing the crew 2 for a long time. It had to come out eventually. Allowing third party hosting of the crew would have cost them a lot of money. Why should they take a loss in that situation?
Well right now it no longer exists and its not in the public domain so noone is allowed to recreate it. Once it enters public domain, it will be legal to recreate it. I don’t think its on the company to prop up everyone else after they no longer have ownership of the IP. Servers have been reverse engineered before, and in WoW classics case, they brought in the indie devs who were doing it to help them recreate the game again for real.
Won’t it still eventually go into public domain whether the servers are running or not? Then any company would be free to remake the game or use the IP?
They shouldnt be required to do anything with it. Theres no public safety issue that requires it be maintained, its just a game. You also seem to imply making money from creating a game is immoral. This whole “art” belongs to everyone thing is stupid and only hurts artists.
Do people not literally have the crew on disk? There you go, they own it.
Depends if you see theft as someone taking something they didnt pay for or earn, or if you see it as someone depriving someone else of their property, or both of them count.
I’d argue both qualify as theft, and pirating is the first case. Just because you can replicate something for free (which is not the case with software) does not mean you are entitled to it.
A quick search found multiple pirated versions of rocksmith, you might already be able to do the last part of your post.
China is not worse than america, and hasnt been for a while now. There is very good propaganda to make you think so though.
Why weren’t people upset when they first bought the game and realized they needed to be online to play it then? Why did it only become a talking point after the fact? You could argue it was shitty to make it a network only game and I might agree, but to say people were deceived and didnt realize it couldn’t be played offline until the servers were shutdown is absurd.
Pretty bold of you to say obama had no scandals.
Too much money to be had subjugating people apparently.
It bothers me so much how permanent this wrong representation of leap frog is.

There are a few vegan bakeries around me that make all sorts of delicious stuff but I do agree that its hard for most people to go from perfectly mixed boxed cake mix to having to bake from scratch to make it egg free.
Personally I dont see why people wouldnt at least consider both if they aren’t vegan. I much prefer waffles made with apple sauce for example. Sort of unrelated but mashed potatoes with olive oil instead of milk and butter is also better in my opinion.
The problem is that someone can display one set of traits one moment, and seemingly the opposite set of traits the next. People are absurdly adaptive.
Probably the bigger problem though is that evolution doesnt happen over such a small time frame, so planning for that is a bit meaningless. We all have the capability of adapting ourselves if need be, but most need a good reason to do so and there is a lot of conflicting information out there.
I think a good example would be any of the “I’m being mistreated at work” posts we see on social media. Youll find people who take the workers side and people who argue against the worker, and it all comes down to different sets of expectations of how someone should act in the workplace.
When it comes to different perspectives like that, I do think its usually beneficial to take advantage of differences and specialties but there are cases where conformance is more important than diversity so I wouldn’t want to generalize too much. I will say I think theres a place for all types of people when it comes to finding meaningful productive work they can be proud of.
Look up vegan baking. Theres like a dozen different egg replacers all with different flavors.
Sounds pretty fair to me.
