  • Imagine using this energy for actually productive change

    All minute and a half of it? I’m all for making fun of gamers but let’s not pretend this is some big mobilisation, or even a particular overreaction - people are buying the newest entry in a popular series, opening it to find out it’s changed to require EGS, getting annoyed, leaving a negative review and refunding the game. The longest part of the process is waiting for the game to download.

    And maybe I’m getting old but I avoid games that require extra launchers too. I already have a game launcher open, if I have to go launch more launchers to launch my game it’s just gonna be easier for me to pirate it.

    removing their protection

    Oh please, please do tell me about NATO’s defensive operations. I promise you it’s not a trick, there is at least one NATO operation that took place on the soil of a member state.
    Then we can talk about all of NATO’s invasions of non-member states and take a look at how reasonable it is to demand that a group that have specifically designated you as their enemy withdraw from bordering states.

    Uh, sure, but we’re not 6 year olds anymore, so you should be able to grasp the larger geopolitical implications of a specifically anti-Russian alliance continuing to further enlarge and spread into countries bordering Russia. Remember when the US innocently moved a few nukes to Turkey and it resulted in the Cuban Missile Crisis?

    According to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg;

    The background was that President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And was a pre-condition for not invade Ukraine. Of course we didn’t sign that.

    The opposite happened. He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second class membership. We rejected that.

    So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders.

    I know you think you’re very clever for not buying into such obvious russian disinformation, but they don’t need to lie about stuff like this. Start doing a bit more research instead of taking news at face value.
