Had friends who recently had a kid, during the pregnancy they had a list of states they wouldn't travel to for this specific reason.

People seem to forget that abortions are part of Healthcare. Making them illegal means youre preventing people from being treated properly.

You're not wrong, the title is misleading and click-baity. The actual content isn't too bad at first, but by the end it's just a random physcologist speculating about her state of mind.

Yeah, everytime I hear her age I do a double take. First that's just a young age to be dealing with all of that, but also it seems to have aged her by over a decade.

Valve didn't make Fex, and while it's a compatibility layer, that doesn't mean it runs everything.

Just look at Proton and you can see after years (and focusing exclusively on games) it's still not near 100%.

Ah, she must have also seen Bend Her - the Futurama episode where bender changes genders to win at the Olympics (and subsequently woos calculon).

Yeah, I'm surprised the original commentor is getting downvoted. This console generation has been terrible, PC is doing better, but really only due to smaller indie games.

I think you get access to mobile games through your Netflix subscription. I know they released some games that were only playable on android through them.

I mean, the issue is these lines aren't as concrete anymore. Is the Ps5 a console or a locked down pc?

Hell, this is probably controversial, but Apple and Google actually have the monopoly on PC gaming. Android and Ios make the most money out of any gaming ecosystem.

The qoute says the "authors", so this law is not exclusively tied to actors, but generally works of art and the people involved in creating it. Thats why I called out things like remakes.

And while you are right that in many of my examples there would probably be contracts to avoid these issues, my point was to show how easy it is to break this law (and that copyright owners do it all the time themselves).

Also, fair use for parodies is not a thing in all countries - not sure if it is in Denmark.

That only works up to a point before nations push back. Additionally it assumes there is value in those assets. If there really is a train that stops in the middle of nowhere, you're probably never recouping those costs.

I think the issue is, that if we're going to call steam a monopoly (and maybe they are), then we've got to call Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo monopolies.

What I don't want to see is legal attacks against steam while letting worse behavior off the hook.

Yeah, it also seems weird cause things like remakes, parodies, trailers, etc. all would technically violate that law.
