     @yomiel @sally GOG isn't ethical consumption, pirating games is

     In theory, something like GOG is ethical consumption under capitalism given a few more factors (at least according to GPL): Source code bundled with the product and a anonymous payment method. (Mail in cash, crypto, gift cards)
     
     I suppose the main problem is without heavy regulation it seems markets will inevitably become monopolistic and implement these authoritarian restrictions on products. Now it's not just music and games, its cars, consoles, computers, etc that have the evil restrictions.
     
     But it is funny to see communists, especially those who were like 'I'm going to mastodon if Elon buys twitter!' who are still there.

     The worst thing is their excuse is that there's no ethical consumption under capitalism or some shit, something that GNU proved wrong since 1985.
     
     
     Even then they should reject it out of principles and self-respect.

     @sally @yomiel buying games is a vanity thing, it's kinda like buying movie on BluRay or something
