It feels refreshing like the old days of Reddit minus the bad stuff. People discussing hobbies, music, technology and stuff.
The one thing this place needs now is gaming discussions.

/c/linux_gaming and /c/opensourcegames are reasonably active.
No need for garbage AAA or f2p game discussions :)
Maybe no need for you, and you don’t have to participate. More discussion here isn’t a bad thing.
yeah I agree, foss games are cool but most of them don’t even get close to what most proprietary games have been able to do unfortunately.
But ethics goes first. If you have problems with FLOSS games, participate in their development.
Resign to user rights is not negotiable. And more given that these games are not basic things for life.
Pop culture has nothing to do with FOSS ethics. Do you listen to music or movies only if they are made on an entirely complete FOSS hardware and supply chain?
Creativity if stifled by anything is a problem, be it ethics or lack of.
If can be created/edited and the license is libre I use to accept it.
However, yes, I encourage this. Mostly because games in this case are software.
I want my rights when I have a copy. I am in the libre culture, not only “libre software for utilities and tools” which seems the case to some people.
Even i promote libre culture, but pop culture does not work that way. Creativity expression needs money, and libre culture cannot satisfy the living needs and aspirations of the creative people.
Creative people.have their own needs, be it capitalist greed or aspirations, and they are the generators of creations. Creativity does not happen in a vacuum, as can be seen by the usually terrible UX, and lack of acknowledgement of, in the FOSS space.
I don’t believe that the issue with UX is exactly what you are pointing.
Libre Culture doesn’t prevent you to subsist.
Other thing is that you are trapped inside other idea that selling a disk is the only source of money and maintaining copyright over it which is, itself, wrong as other replacements as related services or proposals to add a tax to the internet to pay artists based on their use have been promoted several times and some of these views are alive today.
This doesn’t prevent you to get your rights and the point in the issues is to look for a solution for every case more than maintaining us without rights.
The issue is that creative people like to protect their IP, and their rights to it. And that stuff involves money. Non creative people steal the efforts of others mercilessly, which makes copyright law a safeguard to protect rights of creative artists.
Copyright law and patents are abused too though under capitalism, so you have both issues. And then you have the libre culture issue, where everything should be ideally libre, when the creative artists here will never want it, or stop their work altogether wherever such a culture exists.
