Not at all. In fact, denial is a common tactic. See the "racism doesn't exist" crowd for a prime example. I think you'll find it's full of racists.

Well, someone said terfs had nothing to do with Harry Potter, I said the IP is owned by a terf who makes millions from it, and you said "Yawn," so... Yeah, pretty much.

Put simply, a terf owns the IP, money flows back to her. Outright denial of this fact is borderline transphobic itself.

You're borderline if you're happy to sit around and pretend (and publicly claim to others) it has nothing at all to do with Harry Potter as a series.

Ya know what the absolute funniest thing about this is? This all started with the question of "What does transphobia have to do with Harry Potter?"

Can't help but notice that every answer but mine has been "nothing." Super interesting response right there. And every response to my explanations that, yes, Rowling is a transphobe, and yes, she does profit from this, has been overwhelmingly negative. Super duper interesting I'd say.

To summarize this thread, "Yeah, fuck transphobia, but fuck you if you remind me that it is, in fact, relevant to Harry Potter!"

You don't know me.

What a long-winded way of telling me you want to support transphobia.

The people you just named, ya know, other than your favorite bigot, you know how they tend to get paid? Paychecks. One and done. Generally, they don't get royalties. They might get paid for future projects from that cash, assuming the publisher brings them back or owns them, but as far as straight cashflow goes, that money is going to two places: executives and rights owners.

Just admit you're transphobic, it's a lot easier.

Where does the money flow, bud? One way or another, you're supporting her and her transphobic views

Gee, what could a game in a series created by a terf have to do with terfs? Scientists will ponder this for years. I mean, it's not like J.K. Rowling owns the I.P. and makes millions of dollars per year from things like this, right?

Edit: TL;DR

Rowling consistently makes passive income on all Harry Potter products. Multiple sources have cited that Rowling earns anywhere between $50 million to a $100 million each year from royalties. Forbes estimated she earned $95 million in 2017 alone.

I've read about this one. I don't know if it applies to games totally managed by other stores, but I know it originated with key distribution. The gist is, they distribute keys to the publisher free of charge, so this was so they can't undermine their pricing while still utilizing their content distribution systems.

IIRC, it basically just says that base prices have to be the same.

This is entirely true, and you don't deserve the down votes from people who refuse to face it.

Building an equivalent system to a console, without a whole lot of luck being involved as far as finding deals goes, is likely to cost nearly double. This is speaking from experience, my current mid-tier PC, which almost performs as well as a current Gen console, cost about $400, and without, as said above, the ludicrous luck I had finding some deals, would've cost about $600, as the GPU alone, one that isn't actually very good at all, retails for over $300.

Gallery-dl is another option.

Remember: Stealing from big, evil corporations is morally correct.

I ran into you naturally, and let me just say, your behavior is uncivil. So yes, you should be worried about getting banned, you should expect a large amount of users (many with valuable input) to block you, and you should understand that it will be entirely your fault.

I hurt a Mods EGO

This exemplifies said behavior. You are self-isolating here.

If you're referring to the USB thing, I also tried booting Memtest86, GParted and Ubuntu to test, and all of them booted from a live USB without me having to unplug everything. That was totally unique to Pop_OS.

As for the proton, I'll try that fork. I did try a couple forks, though the latest Wine-GE is the only one I can think of the name of.

Edit: I'm using Lutris, and Wine-GE is the non-steam equivalent of Proton-GE, so... whomp whomp I guess

Generally good, but fairly troublesome. I dualboot Pop_OS!, and the install was a nightmare. The live USB wouldn't boot until I unplugged every USB device. Once it started, I could plug them back in. Then, when actually installing, the info about the various partitions I would need was apparently pretty out of date (recommend partition sizes were way off).

Once installed, though, it's been really nice, albeit a fair bit more complicated. The only real issue I've had so far is that, in Unity games run through wine, video streamed in-game won't play.

As soon as I heard of the mere plan to do this, I ditched Chromium altogether and went back to Firefox. Ultimately, I landed on the fork Floorp.

I've dropped every multiplayer mobile game I've ever had because of cheaters. Most recent was Sonic Forces, because once you get up in the ranks, just about every race would include someone who just ignores hazards.

Mobile multiplayer games are just not worth it in any capacity. Hell, mobile games in general, I'd say, given the proliferation of positively abusive advertising schemes.
