Right. Most of us don’t care about the porn, which is why we’re not arguing for it. Most of us just don’t like credit card companies being allowed to dictate what we do and don’t buy.
Plus, I’m guessing anybody with an incest fetish probably understands that isn’t something to go shouting to the world if they want their position to be taken seriously.
Are they a public figure that half the country hates? That probably makes unverifiable testimony a bit less impressive from an evidence standpoint.
(though just to be clear I’m far more inclined to believe them over trump, not trying to defend the dickhead)
I think they read it as:
“Guess what, it is not processed locally anymore.”
I think it was meant to be read as:
“Guess what is not processed locally anymore?”
I can understand making the mistake when they used a period instead of a question mark.
What a weird thing to take issue with. Even if you were right, at worst they would’ve made a single typo by missing one space or hyphen. The horror!
But you’re not even right. Monthslong is an actual word.
I mean hey, at least they glanced at a thesaurus this time instead of sticking with the old tried and true “SLAMS” or “BLASTS” .
Depends. They certainly lose a potential sale from some people, but many people who pirate books never would have read it if they needed to pay for it. Be that because of a lack of money or a lack of interest. Same with games and shows. So no lost sales there.
You could even argue that pirating helps with sales by causing people who never would have read the book otherwise to discuss it with friends or strangers online. I personally think that argument is a big stretch, but it’s not entirely wrong.
But yeah, more pirates should be willing to support authors of books they like. If you think they deserve it, buy the ebook even if you’ve already read the whole thing.
I suppose it does make it more difficult, but very few things are as black and white as “people only care because they want to play porn games”. There’s usually some nuance in there.
And who knows, this whole situation happened because a tiny group pressured companies into acting a certain way. So it’s not like putting pressure on them has no effect. May as well try.
