Further testing reveals that if you uninstall the Epic game store online "features" you are not allowed to play the game even in offline mode. Unironically wait for a crack and go pirate the game if you want to play it, i'm getting a refund.

  @RatPoster it's not possible to steal digital media because it's not scarce, downloading a game for free doesn't subtract money from the developer (unfortunately). on the contrary: intellectual "property rights" are actually a violation of real property rights, the right to your own physical computer and being able to write what you want on it. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=4xKjHHzLUQQ

    Why Artists Shouldn't Own Their Art
    
    I explain why Intellectual Property rights are actually criminal monopoly grants and why copyrights and patents should be entirely abolished. I debunk every pro-IP argument ever and explain how we will see more technological and artistic development without copyrights and patents. Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTf0py7ryuSldOsDm4abSsg/join Or buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/liquidzulu Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, and images used in commerce. IP is protected by laws, such as copyright, trademark, and patent laws, which give creators and owners of IP the exclusive right to use and benefit from their creations. However, the concept of intellectual property rights has been the subject of much debate and criticism. One major problem with IP is that it is a form of monopoly. Copyright and patent laws grant creators and owners of IP exclusive rights to use and profit from their creations, which can give them a monopoly on certain products and ideas. This can stifle competition and prevent others from using and improving upon the IP. Another issue with IP is that it can be used to restrict access to knowledge and information. Copyright laws, in particular, can be used to limit the distribution and use of creative works. This can prevent people from accessing and using essential knowledge and information. Furthermore, IP laws can be used to suppress freedom of expression and creativity. Copyright laws, for example, can be used to censor and silence artists and writers. This can have a chilling effect on free speech and artistic expression. In addition, IP laws can be a barrier to innovation and progress. Patents, in particular, can prevent others from using and building upon existing inventions and technologies. This can slow down the pace of innovation. Moreover, IP laws can be unfair and unequal. Many people may not have access to the legal and financial resources necessary to enforce their IP rights. This can lead to a situation where powerful individuals and companies are able to enforce their IP rights, while others are unable to do so. Overall, intellectual property rights can be problematic and have negative consequences for society. They can create monopolies, restrict access to knowledge and information, suppress freedom of expression and creativity, hinder innovation and progress, and be unfair and unequal. Instead of relying on IP laws, we should consider alternative ways of rewarding and incentivizing creativity and innovation. --- See the script along with any reference material here: https://gist.github.com/LiquidZulu/a269df658060c9e9e358c3ad43b6b736 Footnotes: [1] @TheRageaholic, "The Public (Domain) is An Ass" [2] Hans-Hermann Hoppe (2001), "On Time Preference, Government, and the Process of Decivilization" in idem.

  @lina @RatPoster @mactonite Maybe I should just put a regex for a jewtube video id and send that there instead.
