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.

You are demanding I prove a negative to win an argument about software licensing. That is the exact moment you lost the plot.

I do not need to prove the universe is apathetic. The burden of proof rests entirely on the person trying to claim that physical reality possesses a moral framework. Until you can demonstrate that a black hole, a carbon atom, or a quasar holds ethical standards, the scientific baseline is inanimate indifference. But more importantly, it is a massive red herring. The metaphysical state of the cosmos has absolutely zero bearing on the legal mechanics of copyright law and your failure to read a Terms of Service agreement.

You claim you aren't backed into a corner, yet your final response completely abandoned the actual topic of the debate. You stopped talking about server maintenance, live-ops infrastructure, and intellectual property because you had no technical or legal counter-arguments left. You retreated into metaphysics and tone policing because the mechanical reality of digital ecosystems completely dismantled your claim to permanent ownership.

As for accusing me of sounding like an AI prompt; if presenting structured, coherent logic without emotional rambling reads as artificial to you, that says a lot more about the quality of internet discourse you are accustomed to than it does about my arguments. When someone runs out of actual points, they attack the formatting.

You can claim you are just entertained and doomscrolling to save face, but you spent this entire thread trying to frame a standard licensing dispute as a hypocritical betrayal of humanity, only to end up arguing about whether the universe cares about you.

Enjoy your doomscrolling. The End User License Agreement remains legally binding whether you philosophically agree with it or not.

Enjoy your perpetual victimhood and expect no further response from me.
