Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

No, you just don't have any good points so there isn't anything for me to engage you with.

If you don't want to engage with anything that disproves your stance, like new legislation that the civil rights movement fought for, then sure. If the "erosion of IP" is the continued availability of something that people already paid for, and the consequences of that are that now the producer is going to have a hard time selling its successor, then I think that's absolutely the obvious thing that 1.3M people signed a petition to have changed rather than relying on existing laws that clearly aren't serving the consumer. We'll see what parliament comes up with in the Digital Fairness Act and how California's efforts go.

Cool story, but no you just argue with your feelings instead of actual facts or do any research. If you did, I would consider it, but since you haven't what is the point? Even now, "we'll see what parliament comes up with". What does Parliament require for revisiting existing laws? You didn't even look that up did you?

Parliament doesn't just change existing laws. That requires a new commission proposal to start a binding revision so they know what should be changed if anything. You can't just get turned down by a commission and go to parliament. You'll just get sent back to a commission.

See? What is there for me to explain when you can't even be bothered to research how EU laws work? You just comment with your feelings which no one (least of all the EU Parliament) cares about.

You didn't even research the legislative changes for women's suffrage or civil rights, which you probably ought to have been taught in elementary school if you couldn't be bothered to go to Wikipedia. Actual members of European parliament seem to be confident in what they're able to achieve without a win on this citizen's initiative, going from today's press conference, and I trust that they have a better idea of it than you do.

Cool story! Anyway...
