I’m not sure that would be the best solution. A cheater could still get caught cheating 6 times before requiring a repurchase, and it’s still a pretty harsh penalty for someone who didn’t cheat. You keep your game, but you can no longer share your library if your family situation changes.
‘Sorry, son, you can’t play my games on your computer because daddy made a bad decision when he was 21.’
The ultimate solution is probably an online identity when playing any game. Imagine if cheating got you banned from all online games for 5 years.
Yeah, it’s most likely to prevent someone from using the family feature to get away with cheating.
As it stands now, if you get caught cheating you must create a new account and repurchase the game. So the main deterrent is the full cost of a game.
With the steam family function you could potentially create 5 new accounts per year, and simply remove them when they get caught cheating. The only deterrent would be the wait period.
So I agree with their decision. The downside is that you must trust someone before adding them to your family. If your cheating son gets you kicked off counterstrike, then just remove him from your family. They’re never too old to drop off at the fire station.
You never know. Someone could make a time travel movie with it one day and then collectors will pay an arm and a leg for the left door.
My phone knows when I have sex? I mean, it’s on the nightstand so… maybe, but, how? It’s not like we’re wearing our watches to bed.
So if you buy a Nissan for your teenage kid, is Nissan still allowed to track and share their sexual escapades performed within the vehicle?
Also, how do they know when you’re engaged in sexual activity? Heart monitors in the seats? Humidity sensors in the AC unit? Or is it cameras in the cabin? Cause that’s a very fine line to walk.
Thanks for the tip. The line break works, but the stanza spacing doesn’t seem to be taking. I’m on Jerboa so that may be influencing the formatting.
But they were all of them deceived, for another chip was made. In the land of Texas, in the labs of Neuralink, the Dark Lord Elon forged in secret, a master chip, to control all others.
One Chip to rule them all,
One Chip to find them,
One Chip to network them all,
and in the TOS legally bind them.
I don’t think anybody here is siding with ISPs. We’re just happy to hear that they’re having difficulties policing piracy.
When I say individual rights I mean any and all rights an individual has or should have. In the case of piracy, an individual should have a right to entertainment media at a reasonable cost. The more corporations increase the cost of media access, the more piracy proliferates. In the case of AI, an individual should have the right to earn a living. Corporations are using the works of individuals to ultimately increase their own profits without due compensation to the individual.
I don’t know how you got to pro conservative capitalism from a single anti-corporatist statement, but it likely took you several leaps of logic that I’m not going to even try to follow.
