  • Humans evolved like that as a survival strategy. Even before agriculture was invented, if someone of the tribe was hoarding resources or being aggressive, there’s strong evidence the rest of the tribe grouped up to either shun them completely or beat the offender to death.

    Evidently, ignoring that survival strategy has led to a massive host of problems, and progress has only been seen made after violent solutions were done.

    France for example improved after the first revolution. Of course, this eventually got worse again, but then more revolutions course corrected. It seems humans require this course correction over multiple times continuously, but as long as its applied, things do improve over time.

    Perhaps one day, with enough self corrections, we’ll arrive to a point where violence against societal offenders is no longer needed. But until then, the lack of it will unfortunately lead to this worsening.



















  • Actually, it’s who controls the server, not the key. The reason they’re called game key cards if because they’re literally a key. You own the key.

    The issue is, they own the servers, and again, once those are down, you can’t download the game anymore. The card is just used to download the game tho, and verify that digital copy is valid with your key, so whoever lasts uses it once they go down are the final owners of the digital game. Unlike a physical game, where it doesn’t matter if the company itself goes bankrupt.

    Like I said, they’re a step up in that they’re this weird hybrid of the standard digital game front and a physical item you can at least lend and sell for some time. But they’re not as good as a physical copy or a drm free digital copy.
