Tell you what, a number of the people publishing "official" re-releases to which they've "bought the rights" do not appear to have the correct rights at all, but merely a trademark (which of course does not confer copyright or license to reproduce, port or sell the actual software).
Which means that exactly this is happening.
So the answer is "you get to make money off the back of other people's work" (including the efforts of the pirates whose dr-DRM'd copies are in several cases (cough) Ziggurat (cough) are now being sold.
Look, there will be enough big takes on USPol stuff today. Too many people lacking expertise commenting, few insights to be gained.
It's okay to do yourself a favor and check in tomorrow when the dust settles and people actually know what is happening.
So I'll only say one thing: Propaganda would not need to exist if there was no longer hope. Take care of yourselves, and reach out if you need someone to talk to.
I suspect Riley Gaines, who believes that Black disabled gay people are being "pushed" on "us" by "them," could go the rest of the way if she wanted, without suffering blowback from her cruelty-seeking audience.
That’s what’s happening.
So here’s a follow-up question:
What the HELL is happening??!
I think it's something I'm calling "rage."
The fact is that it takes several thousand human hours to get up to speed on our current geopolitical situation enough to understand what's happening.
So the end result is that nearly no one is able to do that, and those who can are separated by an almost insurmountable gap from the vast majority.
This simple fact provides a significant and nearly impenetrable defensive moat for bad actors.
